This is an expected behavior as the IP Address 169.254.0.33 is the default IP Address in FortiProxy in HA setup. The HA configuration below shows that port4 is used for the heartbeat. The 'fnsysctl ifconfig' command shows the interface port_ha has assigned a link-local address of 169.254.0.33.

 

config system ha

    set group-name "test"

    set hbdev "port4" 0

    set override disable

end
