FortiSwitch Unable to Access WEB GUI

[zergling]

I just took over the previous IT person and I was wondering if someone could guide me in how to enable to WEB-GUI on my S248EF.

FortiLink Interface

Link	UP
Port Speed	Auto-Negotiation
Type	802.3ad Aggregate
IPv4 Addresses	169.254.1.1/24
Members	A B
Managed Devices	FortiSwitch
DHCP Clients	1
Security Fabric Connection	YES

I tried to connect physically using the mgmn cable setting my PC ip address as 

169.254.1.2

255.255.255.0

169.254.1.1

But still, no success.

I am new with FortiSwitches and I would REALLY appreciate any help.

Hello @anignan 

This is what looks like my Switch

FortiSwitch-Main (interface) # show full-configuration
config system interface
    edit "mgmt"
        set mode static
        set dhcp-relay-service disable
        set ip 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
        set allowaccess ping https ssh
        set bfd disable
        set icmp-redirect enable
        set vlanforward disable
        set status up
        set type physical
        set description ''
        set alias ''
        set secondary-IP disable
        set snmp-index 55
            config ipv6
                set ip6-address ::/0
                unset ip6-allowaccess
                set autoconf disable
                set ip6-mode static
                set dhcp6-information-request disable
                set ip6-send-adv disable
            end
        unset macaddr
        set speed auto
        set mtu-override disable
    next
    edit "internal"
        set mode dhcp
        set distance 5
        set dhcp-relay-service disable
        unset ip

                set dhcp6-information-request disable
                set ip6-send-adv disable
            end
        set dhcp-client-identifier ''
        set dhcp-vendor-specific-option ''
        set defaultgw enable
        set dns-server-override enable
        unset macaddr
        set speed auto
        set mtu-override disable
    next 
    edit "rspan"
        set mode dhcp
        set distance 5
        set dhcp-relay-service disable
        unset ip
        set allowaccess ping
        set bfd disable
        set icmp-redirect enable
        set status up
        set type vlan
        set description ''
        set alias ''
        set secondary-IP disable
        set snmp-index 57
            config ipv6
                set ip6-address ::/0
                unset ip6-allowaccess
                set autoconf disable
                set ip6-unknown-mcast-to-cpu disable
                set ip6-mode static
                set dhcp6-information-request disable
                set ip6-send-adv disable
            end
        set dhcp-client-identifier ''
        set dhcp-vendor-specific-option ''
        set defaultgw disable
        set dns-server-override enable
        set vlanid 4092
        set interface "internal"
    next 
end      

Shouldn't the mgmt interface have an IP address of 192.168.1.99?

The split ports feature is used only for QSFP (quad small form-factor pluggable) interfaces. This commands need to be applied from the switch CLI before joining the FortLink if the old switch had those port split (by default they are not split). This will create other interfaces. FGT can not do this changes if the switch is part of Fortlink.

Hello @ebilcari 

So, the day I change and replace the switch, I will just follow the part where is says: 

To replace a managed FortiSwitch unit when split ports are not enabled

Thank you so much.
