FMG v5.6.0 how to disconnect a fortigate from FMG

Does anybody have a quick to just temporary  disable a FGT from FMG.? I'm not looking at unregistering. When we set the type to "none" we get the following message

 

" Please unregister-device from FortiManager first"

 

Any ideals or is this only controlled by the set allowacces fgfm?

> set allowacces fgfm

 

This would prevent FGM from connecting. 

Also:

To prevent FGT from attempting to contact FMG, you'd have to remove the FMG IP from the FGT. 

To drop the current connection, you'd have to kill the fgfmd process on the FGT. Out of curiosity.  Why do you want to do this?  This is quite an unusual request.

We tried the  set allowaccess and it did not work. I believe the FMG re-push the cfg but we didn't kill the fgfmd process

 

The reason why, v5.6.0 has strange issues that we want to  re-evaluate by removing the FGT from  management and then later re-connecting it.

 

Issues noted;

 

 

[ul]
  • pre-exempt was not working correctly or even at all for various users 
  • webGUI would not display devices,  no matter what browser or after  repetitive logout and re-login
  • script executions was good, but install-policies  was taking 10-30mins,  when it should have been 2mins or less[/ul]

     

    This investigating  these issues after an associate has upgraded the unit.

    pls try below workaround see if works for your case

     

    on FGT, config a source IP from a different interface

     

    conf sys central-management

     set fmg-source-ip

     

    wrong source IP will fail the tunnel setup between FMG and FGT

     

    Thanks
