Description

This article explains about the feasibility of managing multiple fortilinks from GUI.

Scope

FortiOS 6.4.2 and later.

Solution

This article describes that before version 6.4.2, it is not possible manage/create multiple FortiLink from GUI.

However, this is supported from 6.4.2 onwards.

Prior to 6.4.2 the GUI would look as shown below:

There is not the option to create/manage multiple FortiLink from GUI and only the default one is visible.

From 6.4.2 onwards, it is possible manage/create multiple FortiLink from GUI.

However, the above is not directly possible and needs to be enabled from CLI first.

It is necessary to create the second FortiLink first from the CLI for the GUI to show the option:

FGT # conf sys inter

FGT (interface) edit fortilink2

new entry 'fortilink2' added

FGT (fortilink2) set type aggregate

FGT (fortilink2) set vdom root

FGT (fortilink2) set member internal3 internal4

FGT (fortilink2) set fortilink en

FGT (fortilink2) end

Once done, it will be possible to see that GUI now reflects the same.
