FGT-70g - Interface not providing an ip/ dchp

Greetings,

we're trying to establish a subnet for testing and training purposes, including a dedicated firewall.

Also, this is the first time setting this up. Please keep in mind, I might not understand everything right away.

The issue:

• the fgt does not provide ip addresses on port1
• a test device is directly connected and can be seen via lldp

the config:

• wan1
  • facing towards our regular network
  • connected, reachable via ping/ https/ ssh/ fabric
  • static route - 0.0.0.0 / 0.0.0.0
  • gw ip 10.10.10.1
• port1
  • 10.7.0.1/16
  • facing towards subnet
  • connected, reachable via ping (responds)
  • administrative access: ping/ https/ ssh/ fabric
  • tried with dhcp enabled and disabled - same results: no ips given
    • range 10.7.0.2 - 10.7.255.254

also...

• the device is on firmware version 7.4.11, registered
• a firewall policy for those two interfaces has bee created, allowing traffic
  • default settings, everything's allowed.

I'm missing something, probably.

Hope, you can help me out with this one.

Kind regards!
