Description |
This article describes that 'broadcast-forward disable' does not work in Transparent Mode. |
Scope |
FortiGate v6.2, v6.4, v7,0 and v7.2. |
Solution |
The 'broadcast-forward' attribute in the 'config system interface' is not used by design from v6.2 in Transparent Mode. The 'broadcast-forward' attribute is for NAT mode only.
Example:
FGT-1 (global)# show system interface wan1 config system interface edit "wan1" set vdom "vdom-a" set allowaccess ping https ssh http <----- Set broadcast-forward disable by default. set l2forward enable set type physical set snmp-index 13 next end
FGT-1 (wan1)# get | grep broadcast-forward broadcast-forward : disable
FGT-1 (global)# show system interface wan2 config system interface edit "wan2" set vdom "vdom-a" set allowaccess ping https ssh http <----- Set broadcast-forward disable by default. set l2forward enable set type physical set snmp-index 15 next end
FGT-1 (wan2)# get | grep broadcast-forward broadcast-forward : disable
Send broadcast traffic from a user to FortiGate. FortiGate forwards broadcast traffic to interfaces.
