Description This article covers a problem when the MGMT interface is used in the firewall policy, but it does not appear in the list of interfaces.
Scope FortiGate.
Solution

The reason why the MGMT cannot be selected by the policy is because of the dedicated-to-management option. Try to remove this option and it can be selected normally by the policy:

How to fix:


config system interface
    edit “mgmt”
        unset dedicated-to <----- Unset the dedicated to management configuration.
    end

Note:

Typically based on the FortiGate model architecture, the MGMT interface will not be offloaded as they are not part of the ASIC.
