After factory reseting my fortiswitch 524D I cannot log in via the GUI

Hello Expert,

 

Yesterday  i  factory reset my 524D switch.

I connect the cable from laptop to the management port on the switch but was not able to login in.

Upon troubleshoot I realize I  cannot  ping the interface. 

 

The only access I have to the switch is via command line.

 

I humbly request some guidance to enable access via the management port using the default ip (192.168.1.99)

 

Thank you

Regards

Hi,

 

As you have only CLI access to the FortiSwitch, would you please try:

 

config system interface
edit internal
set ip 192.168.1.99 255.255.255.0
set allowaccess ping https http ssh
set type physical
end
end

 

As reference you can check on page 30 here: https://fortinetweb.s3.amazonaws.com/docs.fortinet.com/v2/attachments/b895b007-f1f3-11e9-8977-00505692583a/fortiswitchos-6.2.2-admin-guide.pdf

 

Best regards,

Vasil
