Solution
Internal switch interface configuration when factory reset on v5.4 looks as follows.
Switch-interface
Virtual-switch
Interfaces (only the ones of interest have been shown)
Step 1
Check and remove the virtual-switch “lan” from switch-interface (this is mandatory for the FWF-30E).
Step 2
Delete the virtual-switch interface.
Step 3
Check that there are 4 different interface ‘lan’s (only the ones of interest have been shown).
Switch-interface
FWF30E # show system switch-interface
config system switch-interface
edit "internal"
set vdom "root"
set member "wifi" "lan"
next
end
Virtual-switch
FWF30E # show config system virtual-switch
config system virtual-switch
edit "lan"
set physical-switch "sw0"
config port
edit "lan1"
next
edit "lan2"
next
edit "lan3"
next
edit "lan4"
next
end
next
end
Interfaces (only the ones of interest have been shown)
FWF30E # show system interface
config system interface
edit "lan"
set vdom "root"
set type hard-switch
set stp enable
set snmp-index 4
next
edit "wifi"
set vdom "root"
set type vap-switch
set role lan
set snmp-index 5
next
edit "internal"
set vdom "root"
set ip 192.168.1.99 255.255.255.0
set allowaccess ping https ssh http fgfm capwap
set type switch
set listen-forticlient-connection enable
set role lan
set snmp-index 6
next
end
Step 1
Check and remove the virtual-switch “lan” from switch-interface (this is mandatory for the FWF-30E).
FWF30E (internal) # show
FWF30E # config system switch-interface
FWF30E (internal) # edit "internal"
FWF30E (internal) # set member wifi
FWF30E (internal) # show
config system switch-interface
edit "internal"
set vdom "root"
set member "wifi"
next
end
FWF30E (internal) # end
Step 2
Delete the virtual-switch interface.
FWF30E # config system virtual-switch
FWF30E (virtual-switch) # show
FWF30E (virtual-switch) # delete lan
FWF30E (virtual-switch) # show
config system virtual-switch
end
FWF30E (virtual-switch) # end
Step 3
Check that there are 4 different interface ‘lan’s (only the ones of interest have been shown).
FWF30E # show system interface
config system interface
edit "lan4"
set vdom "root"
set type physical
set snmp-index 8
next
edit "lan3"
set vdom "root"
set type physical
set snmp-index 9
next
edit "lan2"
set vdom "root"
set type physical
set snmp-index 10
next
edit "lan1"
set vdom "root"
set type physical
set snmp-index 4
next
end
