This article describes the Managed FortiSwitch configuration sync E flag due to an error reason: unable to find 'admin' in table 'system.admin'. |
| Scope | FortiGate, Managed FortiSwitches. |
| Solution |
FortiGate# exec switch-controller get-conn-status S424EITF21xxxxxx v7.2.2 (419) Authorized/Up E 11.10.10.8 Mon Feb 20 19:47:08 2023
FortiGate# exec switch-controller get-sync-status all SWITCH (NAME) STATUS CONFIG MAC-SYNC HTTP-UPGRADE S424EITF21xxxxxx Up Error - - "error_reason":"unable to find 'admin' in table 'system.admin'"
The error occurs when the administrator deletes the admin account from the FortiSwitch. For example:
Login to FortiSwitch -> Create a new admin account and delete the original admin account.
FortiSwitch# config system admin
FortiSwitch#(admin) # delete admin FortiSwitch#(admin) # end
Solution: On the FortiGate, disable login password override:
FortiGate# config switch-controller switch-profile |
