A useful feature the FortiGate has is to be able to give an alias to a physical interface. This alias shows up in the firewall policy view. I can' t configure an alias on my VLAN interfaces. This would be an extremely helpful feature when looking at my firewall policy with many VLAN interfaces configured. I could quickly tell which client VLAN I am looking at for example. I' m using 4.0 MR1 Patch 2 right now. Paul

    indeed, even documentation says that this feature is only for physical interfaces; using CLI you could run ' set alias < string>' command for a VLAN interface, BUT the string doesn' t appears in the GUI, so it' s useless.
