Technical Tip: Security fabric connection setting

[gakshay]

Description

This article describes how to configure security fabric connection settings.

Scope: 

FortiGate v6.4 and later.

Solution

To make the security fabric work, Fortitelementary, and CAPWAP options have to be enabled, before the v6.4 firmware version, both options Fortitelementary and CAPWAP have to be enabled separately under the 'Administrative Access' section, but in 6.4 both the protocols are bonded only under one option security fabric connection.

Sample Configuration:

To enable this on CLI:

config system interface
    edit "port3"
        set vdom "root"
        set allowaccess fabric     <------- Security Fabric access enabled
        set type physical
        set snmp-index 3
        next
    end
