Disabled Fortigate Interfaces

[pr3da]

I tried disabling 1 interface of another admin computer in Fortigate GUI but it accidently disabled mine too, I couldn't reconnect with changing interfaces, even the console interface didn't work, am I required to reset the device ?

Hello,

For my knowledge modifying LAN/WAN/Management interfaces should not affect console port. You should be able to connect via console and revert interface settings. Can you please elaborate what you are referring to by console interface?

Hi @pr3da ,

On which FortiGate model you disabled those interfaces? And which interfaces? Please provide more details.
I agree with my colleague @abarushka , console port should be not affected by that change. Please double check the console port settings:

thanks for the help, I just checked the console port settings and the problem is solved, it was Fortigate 40F
