Hello I have a Fortigate and Fortiswitch connected using Fortigate port1 - i set this port to dedicated to Fortiswitch addressing mode. it wants an IPaddress. is this just for point to point link with the switch or should this be an IP address on my internal LAN ?

SSH to the switch:

fs1-BEDV (internal) # config system interface
config system interface
    edit "internal"
        set mode dhcp
        set allowaccess ping https http ssh telnet
        set type physical
        set snmp-index 30
        set defaultgw enable
    next
end

fs1-BEDV (internal) # set mode ?
static    Static.
dhcp      DHCP.

hi,

you can use a 'transfer net' with /29 or such, like 10.22.1.1/29 on the FGT. The switch will then pull the next address via DHCP (check Monitor > DHCP). I would not use any address from your LAN (no 2 addresses from the same subnet on ports of a router).
