Hello,

 

Thanks to share the concerns

 

Can 2 FortiGates nodes in HA use a different subnet for MGMT?

 

example 

 

First device take MGMT IP 

 

10.20.20.64/30

 

and the second firewall assign 

 

10.20.20.68/30

 

each firewall is connected to a router there is no mesh topology 

 

first firewall is connected to first router and second firewall is connected to the second router 

 

MGMT subnet is on the router

Hi,

 

When you use reserved HA management interface for management, each cluster member can have its own subnets (same or different as needed). Please see Technical Tip: HA Reserved Management Interface - Fortinet Community
