Technical Tip: Configure Out-of-Band Management Access on FortiNAC-F v7.6.2

Starting from v 7.6.2, it is now possible to configure out-of-band (other than port1 and port2) management access on FortiNAC.

1. On FortiNAC CLI, configure one of the ports from 3 to 6 with the appropriate IP addressing, and enable 'https-adminui' for 'allowaccess':

config system interface
    edit port3
        set ip 192.168.63.75/24
        set allowaccess https-adminui
    end
end

2. Configure a route toward the management host, make sure NOT to configure default route (0.0.0.0) here, set the 'dst' to a specific subnet or host, to avoid conflicts with the default route configured for port 1:

config router static
    edit 3
        set dst 192.168.5.0/24
        set gateway 192.168.63.1
        set device port3
end
