Question about MGMT consideration for 2 FortiGates nodes in high availability

[Ahmed-Saied]

Hello,

Thanks to share the 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

#FortiGate

Hi,

When you use reserved HA management interface for management, each cluster member can have its own subnets (same or different as needed). Please see Technical Tip: HA Reserved Management Interface - Fortinet Community
