FortiManager add Running FGT Devices

Hello Dears,

 

one of our customers has a HA FGT devices and we implement new FMG 7.2.2 so i'm confused how we can add them as a single device to avoid license consumed two devices.

you add it from FMG -> Add Device -> Discover Device and automatically the FMG will detect it is an HA Cluster

or add it from the FGT itself from Fabric Connectors

- any change on the primary will be synced to secondary 

- you can toggle the role (pri or sec) from the device dashboard in Fortimanager

Add it as standalone device. Also if i want to change from the primary to the secondary it can through the fortimanager. Finally if any change on the primary automatically will sync to the secondary
