Problem is, if you deactivate the NTP Server with CLI

config system ntp
unset server-mode
end

The ListenInterface will not deleted and you can not delte fortilink interface

Is there any way to unlink the fortilink from NTP Listen Interface over CLI?

What do you see under "config system ntp" now in CLI? I mean, you get in the 40F via CLI over SSH, or direct console.

Or, you ran the CLI script against Device DB and haven't pushed it to the 40F yet?

hi kaplan.

from your screenshot, can you just switch the button "Enable NTP Server" so that it will be disabled from FortiManager? then push the config over to the FortiGate, wait until it is finished, then delete the fortilink from FortiManager and push the new changes again?

otherwise, you can as well just unset server-mode from FortiGate cli, delete fortinlink there and then retrieve the config back to FortiManager as of: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiManager/Technical-Tip-FortiGate-is-Out-of-sync-on-Device-Manager/ta-p/192888?externalID=FD37223

He, at least we, don't want to disable NTP. But just want to disable server-mode.

I wouldn't try removing a hard-switch like fortilink from FMG. I regularly make those interface structure changes before registering any FGTs to FMG. Similar to elfaran's 2nd option.

By the way, don't forget to remove the DHCP server (by default, edit 2).

my solution:

First Step:

config system dhcp server
purge
end

config system ntp
set server-mode enable
set interface "modem"
end

Second Step

config system ntp
unset server-mode
end

Last Step:

config system interface
delete "fortilink"
end

Thanx again Toshi, thats very nice to try to help,

thanks for sharing!

wasn't able to delete fortilink even after i did a factory reset.

it's weird i only encountered this problem in FG 201F but not with FG 401F. not sure why?

I still think you can eliminate the step2 by "set server-mode disable" in the step1. That's what I do through direct CLI to make 'a' port a normal port.
