How to disable auto-discovery-fortinet on FSR-112D-POE

[CPUSA]

Hello,

 By customer request, we have installed 7.2.8 on a FortiSwtich 424E-Fiber and a few FSR-112D-POE Rugged Switches. I did not factory reset when the software was updated.

We have no issue with using the following command on the 424E:

config switch interface
    edit "portx"
        set auto-discovery-fortilink disable

However, we can not issue this command on a FSR-112D-POE switch. Why? How can we disable "auto-discovery-fortinet"? The command is requesting a "integer" (3-300), not "enable/disable". I have read through countless documentation and now I am confused about this. One document says to disable "auto-isl", yet I have this option disabled per interface. Is this all I need to do?

Another document says that ports 9-11 are automatically set to "auto-discover-fortinet". Does this mean ONLY these ports? How can I disable this function then?

I am looking for a clear and concise answer and method to disable "auto-discovery-fortinet" for the FSR-112D-POE switches. Or are they already disable for ports 1-8? Can I disable ports 9-11? Would this be a global feature disable?  Please advise.

I believe I have a new brain cell. These switches are Access switches, reason why ports 9-11 are set to auto-discover. I am still "guessing" that ports 1-8 are not set or capable of setting for "auto-discover".

Alternatives:

config switch global

set auto-fortilink-discovery disable

set auto-isl disable

end

config switch auto-network

set status disable

end

To disable "auto-discovery-fortinet" on a FortiSwitch FSR-112D-POE, you need to use the command config switch interface followed by the specific port (e.g., "port9") and set the value for "auto-discovery-fortinet" to an integer, such as 0, which disables the feature. For ports 9-11, run the command for each port individually. If you're looking to disable it globally, check for global settings in the firmware documentation. Be sure to verify the configuration after making changes to ensure it's applied correctly.
