Question

How to change the mgmt mac address of FG firewall?

Hi~

Recently my company purchase two FG101e firewall and I did put their mgmt port into the subnet for my management.

I found the connection is good while only one of them was turn on, and not good when both of them here.

 

As a result, I found all of their mgmt port mac address are the same.

The way I search on Google is not works, there is no "set macaddr <MAC address>" on my ssh CLI.

The following is my command log

 

FG101ETK19003839 # FG101ETK19003839 # config system int

FG101ETK19003839 (interface) # edit mgmt

FG101ETK19003839 (mgmt) # set m (?) management-ip High Availability in-band management IP address of this interface. mtu-override Enable to set a custom MTU for this interface. FG101ETK19003839 (mgmt) # 

 

Thank you for your help.

    Someone may need to chime in here, but it sounds like you are trying to set up the two 101E in HA mode, in which case I doubt you can set the mac address on any interface of the backup/slave unit.  But if you need to access the individual fgts, you can set an in-band management IP address. In HA operating mode the fgt members will behave differently than stand alone fgts.

    If you  use dedicated management interfaces than this would not be a issue. Each interface would have a unique interface address and mac-address

    Check with "diag hard device info mgmt" on each unit. The "Current_HWaddr" should be the same as "Permanent_HWaddr", which is unique, if it's "set dedicated-to management".

    Typo: supposed to be "diag hard deviceinfo nic mgmt".
