Fortigate E1100 - HA - Secondary > console not working

[AndreyAKudinov]

Hello everyone,

I have two FortiGates 1100E that with HA and the secondary console is acting out.

Whenever I disconnect HA and make it standalone both work fine, when HA is connected the console keeps posting messages in Putty "Incorrect login" but I do not even press any key or anything it's just every 5-second posting error login.

Did anyone have the same issue and have a resolution to it, I just want to have the console to secondary in case of emergency.

P.S. I do know how to connect to secondary CLI via primary > exe ha manage (id of secondary)

Not clear what your problem is. Are you not able to log in to the console? Or is it that you don't know why it's showing the incorrect login messages every 5 seconds?

Found the resolution >>>>>> Update firmware from 7.0.2 to 7.0.7 to 7.2.3

The issue was that in stand-alone mode, both FortiGate's console works

When HA them together, only the primary's console works, the secondary's console gives an error and does not allow to log in.
