Hi All,
In FortiSwitch OS, you can nicely search in the Forwarding Table under Switch: Monitor... but it seems like it 'only' support wildcard searches.
Is there anyway to specify 'exact' searches or 'vlan=NNN' searches?
If not, in my world, it calls for a feature request.
I often need to see what is on port1, not 'port1-19', or what MAC's is on a specific vlan, and putting '10' for vlan 10 into the search field gives me vlan 10, MAC's including '10' and port10... ;)
Solved! Go to Solution.
I did some test and it seems that the search filter will work just like a standard filter, searching for the keyword on all the available columns (even for the Flags). It seems that what you are asking is not implemented yet.
It would be better if you reach for your local Fortinet representative to make it as an official request.
in the meantime you can use the CLI and the grep function:
S108E... # diag switch mac-address list | grep "VLAN: 540"
MAC: 00:00:00:09:00:04 VLAN: 540 Trunk: GVM01T(trunk-id 1)
MAC: 00:00:00:d6:6f:39 VLAN: 540 Port: port4(port-id 4)

Hi Emirjon,
Thanks for the update, seems like the CLI is the workaround for now.
I will try to get a Feature Request in..
