Hello,
We are using FortiGate 61E v7.0.8 build0418.
And we want start using Forti switches but fortilink error stands in our way.
When i try to open default fortilink interface via GUI it gives me an error:
"Failed to load data."
We never used fortilink or fortiswitches so is doesn't have any references.
When i try to delete it:
Generic error
Fortlink interface via GUI looks like so:
CLI:
# config system interface
# edit fortilink
# show
config system interface
edit "fortilink"
set vdom "root"
set ip 169.254.1.1 255.255.255.0
set allowaccess ping fabric
set type hard-switch
set device-identification enable
set lldp-transmission enable
set role lan
set snmp-index 7
next
end
I know a workaround is to disable fortilink interface and create another fortilink dedicated interface for physical port and it works, but i really want to fix or delete that default fortilink interface to not leave any trash in configuration.
There should be way how to fix it.

Ok guys, i managed to solve it with Forti support help.
This was corrupted settings in configuration file.
I had one spare same model same FW FortiGate on the shelf compared both configuration files with Notepad++.
And added missing lines in appropriate lines in config file:
edit "fortilink"
set vdom "root"
set fortilink enable
set ip 169.254.1.1 255.255.255.0
set allowaccess ping fabric
set type hard-switch
set lldp-reception enable
set lldp-transmission enable
set snmp-index 7
next
config system virtual-switch
edit "fortilink"
set physical-switch "sw0"
next
end
config system ntp
set ntpsync enable
set server-mode enable
set interface "fortilink"
end
config system dhcp server
edit 1
set ntp-service local
set default-gateway 169.254.1.1
set netmask 255.255.255.0
set interface "fortilink"
config ip-range
edit 1
set start-ip 169.254.1.2
set end-ip 169.254.1.254
next
end
set vci-match enable
set vci-string "FortiSwitch" "FortiExtender"
next
I hope it helps somebody experiencing same problem.
You configuration might be different so edit .conf accordingly.
Also after editing and restoring configuration use command:
diag debug config-error-log read
To check for configuration errors. and fix them if found.
Hi @Žydrūnas
As per the Screenshot "Fortlink interface via GUI looks like so" , there is no "Dedicated to Fortiswitch" option enabled. The interface looks like its corrupted, edit the interface from CLI and enable Fortilink parameter.
config system interface
edit "interface name"
set fortilink enable
end
After enabling fortilink on the interface, try to delete the interface. Let me know if this helped.
Did it and now a i got a new error when i try to open WiFi & Switch Controller/FortiLink Interface:
And same error then i try to open Network/Interfaces fortilink interface:
