Create address object matching subnet is no longer optional

[okoye]

Is it just my firewalls or has it become mandatory to create an address object when creating an interface with role LAN? Only tried creating VLAN interfaces.

I think most of us managing Fortigates has their naming scheme for addresses and other objects. Now I’m not allowed to remove, rename or change this object that it creates by default.

Anyone found a way to disable auto-creation or delete these addresses?

BTW I’m running 7.2.4 on a 60E and 60F.

Now you have to modify the interface, set the role to undefined, so you can delete the address object, so you can delete the interface.

That is the definition of convoluted.
