Connecting Fortiguard with ha-mgmt-interface.

Hello

 

I want to connect to fortiguard using ha-mgmt-interface.

 

Is it possible??

 

When I tested it, it went to the interface set to default routing rather than ha-mgmt-interface.

(I also enabled ha-direct.)

 

Please let me know if this is possible.

And if possible, please tell me how.

 

Thanks.

Hello

It should be possible but your routing has to be correct.

ha-mgmt-interface is not accept in static route.

 

ex)

config system ha

set ha-mgmt-status enable
config ha-mgmt-interfaces
edit 2
set interface "internal2"
set gateway x.x.x.x
next
end

 

config router static

edit 1

set gateway x.x.x.x

set device internal1 <-- internal2 Not applicable.

end

It looks strange but as per admin guide it seems that FortiGuard is not included.

 

The following management features will then use the HA reserved management interface:

Hi,

Yes, you cannot use ha-mgmt-interface under the normal routing configuration.

Hi,

When HA-direct is enabled, FortiGate uses the HA management interface to send log messages to FortiAnalyzer and remote syslog servers, sending SNMP traps, access to remote authentication servers (for example, RADIUS, LDAP), and connecting to FortiManager, FortiSandbox, or FortiCloud.

The Fortiguard updates will use the management vdom to download the updates.
