Difference between port mgmt and other port

[MedWell]

Hello;

The difference between port mgmt and other port (port2 port6..)?

I configured a port mgmt with @ 172.1.1.254/24, admin acces ping https ssh, static route..., I puted  in a switch. I haven't acces to mgmt.

I reconfigured other port (port6) with 172.1.1.254/24, I acces to the interface.

I need to use a port mgmt1 (fgt 300d) as a port LAN.

I think there is difference between port mgmt and other port (port2 port6..).??

Thanks

Mgmt port can not be used on policy as source/destination, it only have Administrative  traffic. Other port ( port 2 ..) can be used on policy and Administrative access.Thanks.

And to add to jeff explanation

It does not carry user traffic and in fact is part of a hidden vdom named dmgmt-vdom that's part of ANY fortigate that has a dedicate management interfaces. You can add ports to that vdom but you can delete it.
