Hello Team, 

 

I am configuring a new switch and I need to configure some interfaces as L3. This would a standalone switch so no fortilink whatsoever. 

 

I know in cisco all I need to do is " No switchport"  on switch for it to work as a L3. However, I am not seeing that on Fortiswitch. Is there a way to do this? I have tried reading the docummentation but this is not clear for me. Thanks in advance! 

 

Fortiswitch version is 7.2.4

Hello

L3 requires "Advanced Features License" and is not supported on 1xx models.

For L3 configuration you may start here:

Hope it helps.

Even with Cisco switches nowadays the L3/routing feature support is separated by models. For example, Catalyst 1200 doesn't support while Catalyst 1300 does support.
