Question

switch-interface mode, and span port?

Hoping someone can offer some suggestions on the best way to manage my config. I have a 40C, and am trying to get the ports configured this way: WAN 1 - External network WAN 2 - No connection Internal 1 - Part of internal switch Internal 2 - Part of internal switch Internal 3 - Part of internal switch Internal 4 - Span of the firewall side of WAN 1 (the " uplink" to the internal switch, if you will) Internal 5 - DMZ, separate network going to the External network Right now, I' ve got Internal 4 as a span of all the ports on the internal switch (but haven' t verified it 100% yet), but don' t really want that; I just want to tap off the incoming/outgoing packets. I' ve pasted the relevant parts of my config below (minus the parts about DHCP server, etc.), and hope that someone can offer some suggestions on how to mirror just the post-firewall WAN1 traffic. One thing that I' ve considered (but don' t know if it would work, and don' t want the complexity) is to switch-interface internal 1-3, and then have another switch with that switch and internal 4 on it, with the span defined there. Don' t even know if that would work. Thoughts? Thanks!!! Robert

    Thanks for sharing config. So I'm in same boat and trying to capture multiple ports in fortigate 200 D to 1 port as span. Above config looks like its possible. 

     

    Cheers

    Hi did you manage to fix? I have a similar problem trying to get 4 ports to mirror to another port that has a DarkTrace Probe on it.

    Looks to me like this part should work for basic wan1 mirroring, however I'm unable to add wan1 to the members, or select as a source: 

     

    config system switch-interface edit "mirror" set member port5 wan1  set span enable set vdom root  set span-dest-port port5 set span-source-port wan1  end

     

    I get an error saying that wan1 is not part of the dataset.
