VLAN setup advice?

I have setup a VLAN interface on internal 7 (Port7) but for some reason it then sets up another interface just for internal7 and it seems I need to set this up with ip address subnet, etc. Then if I connect a switch to that port and connect a pc it gives it the ip address of the internal 7 interface not the VLAN?

So it looks like I don't even need a vlan I can just split the ports and set them up with different ip addreses and that acts as vlan? Is this correct? I need to split up 2 networks over our fortigate 60e with 1 WAN.

Looking at this article even thought its on an old fortigate it looks like I would give internal7 (port7) the ip address and leave VLAN ip settings blank? Is this correct if so unsure why you even create VLAN as its more the port that has lan settings

Hi,

Dont enable interface ip address in PORT 7. Keep 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 under that create VLAN .

Need to enable VLAN in SWITCH also .

Now you can see the VLAN address in from PORT 7 .
