Fortigate-HA Update FortiGuard via Mgmt port

Hai Guys

 

I am planning to update FortiGuard via Mgmt port, is that possible?
I use HA, the configuration is as follows:

 

Fortigate 401E Versi 6.4.6

Fortigate-01 (Master)
config system ha
   set ha-mgmt-status enable

   config ha-mgmt-interfaces
   edit 1
      set interface "mgmt"
      set gateway 192.168.5.1

 

Config system interface
   edit "mgmt"
      set vdom "root"
      set ip 192.168.5.50 255.255.255.0
      set allowaccess ping https ssh fgfm
      set type physical

 

config system dns
      set primary 8.8.8.8
      set secondary 8.8.4.4

 

Fortigate-02 (Slave)
Config system interface
   edit "mgmt"
      set vdom "root"
      set ip 192.168.5.51 255.255.255.0
      set allowaccess ping https ssh fgfm
      set type physical


I can ping 8.8.8.8 but ping to google unresolve hostname.
is there something wrong with my configuration?

 

Thank You

Hi @haryadi_sentoso1 ,

 

Give internet access after HA management port (mgmt), enable ha-direct in HA configuration and it is done. Please check the articles below:

@xinleiwang ,

 

You can change the configuration on HA settings, and add a management interface for HA then FortiGuard traffic will go through that interface. 

 

Do not forget that you need to know that from the management subnet we need to reach the internet.

Best Regards,

Vasil
