Separate interface for management in Fortimail

Hello,

 

Is it possible if i want to create separate interface for management in Fortimail?
Example: i want to use ETH1 only as Management interface and ETH2 for traffic.

 

Thanks,

Bram

Hi Bram

I prefer avoid this because FML doesn't have policy routing. So yes you can  do that but you have to configure the right static routes. Example below:

- Default route must be via eth2 

- Add route to admin users subnets via eth1

- Add route to admin users VPN subnet via eth1

Hmm, if you have an interface with IP in a management interface, and one in a DMZ, you can simply disable HTTP(S)/SSH/SNMP on the DMZ interface.
 
But maybe you should use Interface1 as the mail interface, and then add Interface2 with the iprange/vlan connection for your management network..?
