Trying to manage monitoring and security systems for two locations out main office; in order for this to work our security company wants 3 ports on a switch and remote office that will connect to the main office network.

 

Can I create a site to site VPN for only specific ports or devices?

 

Main Office using Fortigate 100E  (static external IP)  internal network 10.20.0.1/255.255.254.0

 

Remote Office using Fortigsate 100F (static external IP) internal network 10.20.0.1/255.255.255.0

Your description of requirement is a little unclear.

But since intention seems to be allowing only a small sub-group of the remote office' network, rather than specific devices/users, to be able to connect to the main office, I would separate a subnet for the sub-group, those three ports of the switch, likely with a new vlan access ports, then terminate the vlan at the 100F. If you want, you can set up a DHCP server separated from the current subnet/interface.

Once you separate the subnet, it's very easy to create a site-to-site VPN specifically for that group to the main office.
