Installing 1 policy from FM to FGT Clusters with different interfaces names

Hi there!

 

Is it possible to install the same single policy to say 5 FGT Clusters from Forti Mrg, but each of the 5 Clusters has different interface names? The same single policy will be pushed to each Cluster as a Global FW policy not a VDOM.............or is the only way via a VDOM with normalized interfaces from the FM? later mapping INTERNAL interface to Port1 on Cluster-1 and INTERNAL3 on Cluster-2 etc.........

Hi @canoas ,

 

Another way is:

 

1) Create a Zone object on the FGT Clusters including those interfaces as members.  It's OK even if there is only one interface.

 

2) Importing the FGT clusters.  If the FGT clusters are in FMG already, you may re-import them again.  This step will import the Zone object and dynamic mapping different interface members based on those FGT clusters.

Regards,

Jerry

I think this maybe the most straight forward solution, though I have found re-iimporting clusters into FM again problematic in the past, perhaps with v7.x I won't have these issues. Thanks.
