Description
When switching from NAT mode to Transparent mode, and 'FortiLink' has been already configured, the following error appears:
FGT # config sys settings
FGT (settings) # set opmode transparent
Cannot change to Transparent mode because this vdom contains managed switches and switchctl-vlans.
Please clear managed-switches, disable fortilink and retry.
node_check_object fail! for opmode transparent
value parse error before 'transparent'
Command fail. Return code -7610
This article describes how to switch from NAT to transparent mode without any errors.
Scope
FortiGate.
Solution
To change the operation mode of the unit, use the following command:
FGT (fortilink) # show
config system interface
edit "fortilink"
set vdom "root"
set allowaccess ping fabric
set status down
set type aggregate
set lldp-reception enable
set lldp-transmission enable
set snmp-index 14
next
end
Even after disabling the FortiLink interface, the same error message should still appear. If FortiLink has any referenced configurations, remove them.
Go to System -> Settings -> NTP. Also, on the aforementioned FortiLink configuration, unset the IP address and disable all configurations related to FortiLink as shown in the below screenshot.
Below is the expected result without any error message:
FGT # config system settings
FGT (settings) # show full-configuration | grep opmode
set opmode nat
FGT (settings) # set opmode transparent
FGT (settings) # set manageip <IP address/mask>
FGT (settings) # end
Output:
FGT # config system settings
FGT (settings) # show full-configuration | grep opmode
set opmode transparent
FGT (settings) # end
