Question

Fortigate 200A configuration mode

Hello everybody,

 

I have a question about the interface mode.

Could I configure an internal port interfaced to access a specific vlan interface switch and an other one interfaced to a trunk mode interface switch?

 

Thank you in advance for your support,

 

Kind regards,

 

Christopher

    Is the device in interface or switch mode?

    Answer: if you split the (default) "internal" switch into separate interfaces then you can use them independently, with one network per interface. Interfaces in "switch" mode behave like ONE port.

     

    Does that answer your question?

    Hello,

     

    Thank you for your answer,

     

    @gschmitt : in the current configuration the Fortigate unit is in switch mode. The problem is that the IP address of the internal port belongs to a vlan.

     

    @ede_pfau : it's to say I can have the port 1 that belongs to a specific vlan and the port2 that can be interfaced with a trunk switch interface.
