Hello Together

For the documantion for the Fortiswitch, Doucusnap is used by the customer.
The Fortiswitches are only connected to the Fortigate via Fortilink.
I can make the Fortiswitch accessible via SNMP and ping?

you can choose the policy and find the button "Edit in CLI" from the GUI and set manually the outgoing interface like:

config firewall policy
edit 22
set name "xxxx"
set srcintf "port2"
set dstintf "port5"    <-- in my case or "FortiLink"

Yes, but you have to setup up a valid IP subnet that is routable for the FortiLink interface. You also need to create a firewall policy to allow SNMP and ICMP communication to the switch from the external server.

FortiLink interface as an example:

You can also set up DHCP reservation so the IP of the switch will not change after reboots.
