I have two 80F fortigates that i am trying to lab vxlan on for production. One system is on 7.2.4 and the other is on 7.2.2. Following the documentation it says to add the vlan interface and the vxlan interface to the switch for the last step. On the 7.2.2 version it has the vlan system interfaces available to add to the switch. These are identical configs on each side I have them set up as policy based and vlan switch mnode. Not sure if this is a bug, but I am using this guide to set up the vxlan
So I upgraded the device on version 7.2.2 to see if that makes a difference and it did not. I still only have the options for the vlan interfaces and not the physical interfaces to be able to add for the system switch--interface. I also tried deleting and recreating the vlan interfaces on the one that was originally on 7.2.4 but that did not make a difference either.
I think it's a mistake in the guide and a virtual-wire-pair is created, because in a software-switch you can add only physical interfaces,
config system switch-interface
edit TEST
set member
*interface-name Physical interface name.
This is the config in one:
LAB-17 # show system switch-interface
config system switch-interface
edit "OES-SW1"
set vdom "root"
set member "vlan253" "vxlan253"
next
end
LAB-17 #
and I do not have the option to add the physical interfaces
On the other system it lets me add the vxlan interface but the internal6 is no longer available after removing
LAB-16 # conf system switch-interface
LAB-16 (switch-interface) # edit OES-SW1
LAB-16 (OES-SW1) # set member
*interface-name Physical interface name.
OES-ME-VXLAN interface
internal5 interface
LAB-16 (OES-SW1) # set member
