Standalone Fortiswitch 424E how to disable fortilink mode.

[dgullett]

How do I disable Fortilink? This turns it off, but after a reboot, it comes back.

config switch interface
edit "port1"
set auto-discovery-fortilink disable
next

Deleting a FortiLink interface

If you have any problems with deleting a FortiLink interface, disable it first using the CLI:

config switch interface

edit <FortiLink_interface_name>

set fortilink disable

end

You need to

configure switch interface
  edit portxx
     unset auto-discovery-fortilink
  next
end

This "set auto-discovery-fortilink enable|disable" doesn't seem to exist under "config switch interface" with 7.4.x.

What is the equivalent command to enalbe/disable fortilink with 7.4.x?

Thanks,

Toshi

Looks like it's moved to "global".

config switch global
  set auto-fortilink-discovery disable
end

So now per-port enable/disable is not necessary (or not possible) with 7.4?

there is also this convenient way from FGT that factory reset the switch and convert it to standalone:

GW # execute switch-controller switch-action set-standalone S108EN0000001234
This action will return the FortiSwitch to standalone mode
and will delete its configuration from the FortiGate!
Do you want to continue? (y/n)y

Please wait...
