Dear People,
all Traffic uses the same Device Name or Source Mac. This Mac is from Aruba Switch.
Is there any settings on Fortigate to get the own Mac each Devices?
I think, thats a VLAN setting on Arruba HP Switch.

Any Ideas to solve my problem?

Hey Kaplan,

FortiGate just reads the MAC addresses from whatever traffic it sees. If the Aruba switch replaces the MAC addresses with its own as traffic goes through it, FortiGate does not see any other MAC address, and there is no setting on FortiGate to change that, as the traffic physically comes in with Aruba switch MAC address.

You would need to check on your Aruba switch if there are options to stop it from replacing MAC addresses.
