Technical Tip: Impossible to configure policy and routes with the interface selected for management interface reservation

[rmreddy]

Description	This article describes why it is impossible to select the interface which has been selected in the management interface reservation in a policy or route.
Scope	FortiGate.
Solution	When the Management interface reservation is configured in the HA settings, the specified interface cannot be used in any of the configurations like policies and routes. This is expected as it becomes dedicated to managing the HA member. While configuring the policy, the interface will not be visible to select. In HA port10 is configured as management interface reservation. Now it is impossible to view the port10 interface to configure in policy and route. After removing the interface port10 from the management interface reservation, it is possible to view the interface port10 to configure policy and route. Note: Once the interface is selected for management interface reservation, only management traffic can be handled. If it is desired to configure the interface in the management interface reservation, there should be no reference for the respective interface.
