Fortiswitch Docu

[Christian_89]

Hello Together

For the documantion for the Fortiswitch, Doucusnap is used by the customer.
The Fortiswitches are only connected to the Fortigate via Fortilink.
I can make the Fortiswitch accessible via SNMP and ping?

Yes, but you have to setup up a valid IP subnet that is routable for the FortiLink interface. You also need to create a firewall policy to allow SNMP and ICMP communication to the switch from the external server.

FortiLink interface as an example:

You can also set up DHCP reservation so the IP of the switch will not change after reboots.

thanks for the info.

For the firewall policy I can not select the fortilink.

or I'm just on the hiatus is possible through

[ebilcari · Accepted solution]

you can choose the policy and find the button "Edit in CLI" from the GUI and set manually the outgoing interface like:

config firewall policy
edit 22
set name "xxxx"
set srcintf "port2"
set dstintf "port5"    <-- in my case or "FortiLink"
