Remote access HPE switch

[Joh7]

i need to have a remote access to my hpe 1820 switch behind 2 firewall in HA mode

is it possible?

If the switch has a management IP configured, yes sure. Most secure way to access it over the public network is via VPN. First connect to the VPN than access the switch using its private IP.

The easiest not recommended way is to do a port forwarding (Virtual IP) and limiting the public IPs that can access it in the firewall policy.

even if i have two fortigate in a HA mode?

Yes, having FortiGate in HA mode doesn't put any limitations in the functions that the firewall provides if its configured correctly and both nodes have the same access in the network.
