Fortigate HA interface Reservation

Hello Guys  I want to have delicate ip add for the  management  with HA active-passive setup on my mgmt port, i have multiple vdom setup and root as management. However on my HA setting for the management interface reservation i cannot see mgmt port appear on the selection. Anyone facing the same situation before.

The "dedicated-to management" port(s) won't be in root vdom. If it was in, both active and passive units would have the same interface IP by HA syncing. The mgmt ports are separated from those vdoms and the config is excluded from syncing so that you can get in each specific unit with its unique IP.

Hi Toshi is there any way to move it out from root vdom, because it auto assign to root vdom when root was create and selected as vdom.

It should be automatic if you configure it in ha like below:

config system hp

    config ha-mgmt-interfaces         edit 1             set interface "mgmt1"             set gateway x.x.x.x         next     end end

Then mgmt1 should get "set dedicated-to management" and vdom is removed.

config system interface     edit "mgmt1"         set ip x.x.x.x 255.255.255.xxx         set allowaccess ping https ssh fgfm         set type physical         set dedicated-to management         set snmp-index 1         set defaultgw disable     next end
