Solution

Note:

It is recommended not to make IP address changes of FortiNAC management interfaces directly from CLI, but instead, change it only from GUI via the Config Wizard.

This is because the IP address change of the interface needs to be updated in other modules in FortiNAC, and all the necessary updates will be done when GUI is used for this change. If an IP address changes in CLI under 'config system interface', it will not update all the dependencies.

Hence GUI needs to be used for changing IP addresses of FortiNAC ports.
