MGMT consideration for 2 FortiGates nodes in HA

[Ahmed-Saied]

Hello,

Thanks to share all concerns

Can 2 FortiGates nodes in HA use a different subnet for MGMT?

example 

First device take MGMT IP 

10.20.20.64/30

and the second firewall assign 

10.20.20.68/30

each firewall is connected to a router there is no mesh topology 

first firewall is connected to first router and second firewall is connected to the second router 

MGMT subnet is on the router

Hello,

Yes, it is possible. You will need to configure ha-mgmt port and then you can configure IPs to ports:
