Add Ports to Switch Interface - 200B

[MontanaMike]

I've got a FGT200B that has 16 Ethernet ports on it.  The first 8 are in a "switch" and the last 8 are all separate interfaces.  Is there anyway to add those interface ports (say port9-12) to the "switch"?  Any help would be much appreciated.

The first 8 ports should be configured in a hardware-switch under sys vertual-switch config. You just need to add whatever you want to add for the rest of the ports as member ports in the same way the first 8 ports are configured. It should be quite intuitive once you see the existing config in ClI. You need to remove all reference and IP address, etc., if those additional ports were used for other purpose before.

Thanks but there is no "virtual-switch" anywhere in the config and the command fails when I attempt to use it.  I should note that this has been factory reset and is running 5.2.9 of FortiOS

I'm sorry. I was thinking about 200D not 200B. You might not be able to do that. Please wait for somebody else who knows about 200B's capability.
