Hi, 

 

Can 2x 10 GE SFP+ FortiLinks ports be used as WAN or LAN ports? If yes is there any document to set as WAN or LAN?

Upon checking the datasheet they have already GE RJ45 WAN Ports. 

 

Thanks!

basically those are physical interface just as all others :)

So if you remove them from the FortiLink Switch you can use them for anything.

Used one as Uplink to coreswitch on a 100F for example.

Thanks @sw2090

 

Do I need to set FortiLink to disable to use the 10 GE SFP+ FortiLinks ports as WAN and LAN?

removing the ports from fortilink is enough to set them free for other use :)

Yes, the 2x 10 GE SFP+ FortiLinks ports can be used as WAN or LAN ports, depending on your network configuration. While the datasheet mentions RJ45 WAN ports, the SFP+ ports offer greater flexibility for high-speed connections. For detailed configuration steps, I recommend checking the FortiGate documentation for FortiLink port setup and usage.
