Technical Note: No response for SNMP queries directed to secondary FortiController on chassis slot #2

When FortiController high availability is configured, SNMP queries meant for the secondary FortiController on slot #2 have to be relayed by the primary FortiController via the base management channel. If the primary FortiController's internal base interface's IP is not added to the SNMP community's hosts list on the secondary FortiController, the SNMP queries will be dropped and not processed.
