Having trouble to connect FMG to FG

[thoffmann]

Hello, I' ve a tricky question to connect FMG to FG. Problem is that you can' t use the FG-HA-reserved Ports for FMG communication FortiDocs

The reserved management interface and IP address should not be used for managing a cluster using FortiManager. To correctly manage a FortiGate HA cluster with FortiManager use the IP address of one of the cluster unit interfaces.

But the problem is, our FMG and also FAZ are in the network where the HA Management Ports are. See in the picture the network diagram. Any suggestions to solve this problem?

Hi, have you already tried to create a host route for the FortiManager on the FG 1500D cluster which points to the core switch? Or maybe try to create a policy route on the FG 1500D, does this work? Kind regards
