| Description | This article describes why FortiGate does not allow to mention the set source-ip in syslog settings and keeps using the Management interface as the source interface and IP. |
| Scope | FortiGate. |
| Solution |
When the Management Interface Reservation is turned ON under System -> HA and a Management interface is assigned this will make all the SNMP and Syslog traffic generated from FortiGate use the source IP as the management interface and the set source-ip from CLI will not be allowed:
Once the HA Management Interface Reservation is turned off, the traffic uses a correct interface to reach the syslog server and the set source-ip option is then visible.
Note: In VDOM scenarios it is still possible to set source-ip and interface-select method even when HA Management Interface Reservation is enabled.
