    Hello, the ports " internal1 - internal4" are at the device internal switch. In the fortigate config you normaly just see the " internal" port. So separate these ports you have to change the internal switch from " switch mode" to interface mode" first. Sincerely harald

    The FG-60C is the cheapest (' most economical' ) Fortigate that I know 100% to be able to split the switch interfaces. Have you searched the forums for " 40C" ? There might be a thread asking for " switch-interface" , answering your question. Do you already own a 40C? Then you could just try it out - if the firmware doesn' t recognize the command then it isn' t supported.
