Description This article describes the situation when the FortiManager tries to unset VLAN interface settings.
Scope FortiManager, FortiSwitch Manager.
Solution

In this scenario, the VLAN interface 'vlan10' is configured on FortiSwitch Manager in FortiManager and assigned to a template in order to be pushed to a registered FortiGate device:

The template is then pushed to the FortiGate in a policy package installation.

After the installation, PING is enabled for 'vlan10' on the FortiGate itself. This will be auto-updated in FortiManager's Device Manager database:

However, this will not be reflected in FortiSwitch Manager, where the VLAN interface will retain its original setting.

When trying to install a policy change, FortiManager will try to unset the interface's allowaccess setting:

This is because the VLAN interface does not allowaccess configured in FortiSwitch Manager, and the template configurations in FortiSwitch Manager will take precedence when performing a policy install.

 

To resolve this, simply enable PING on 'vlan10' in FortiSwitch Manager:

After making the change, FortiManager will not try to unset allowaccess on the VLAN interface:
