Ok, so I have a Fortigate 200D POE with 5.4.6 on it. It currently works with the following config: I have a 'hardware switch' with 3 VLANs assigned to it, along with network port 9-16. New feature: FortiGate Hardware Switch Interface. Published on Juni 21, 2013 in Firmware / Software and Fortinet. 6 Comments Tags: FortiGate, hardware, switch.

Often times it is advantageous to divide up the internal swtich into individual interfaces. Reasons for doing this include additioanl hardware port for routing, or additional ports to implement one-arm sniffers. The following are some of the commands necessary to accomplish this. To put a FortiGate in Interface mode: config system global set internal-switch-mode interface To create a software-switch config system switch-interface edit name (example SW1-3) set member internal1 internal2 internal3 (the names may be different depending on firmware and model, you can use the tab key to scroll through valid names).

Mad max 3dmgame dll file. Set vdom root next end To assign an IP address and management access to the software-switch config system interface edit SW1-3 set ip address and mask (example 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0) set allowaccess ping https ssh next end For IT Support and InfoSec services in the Dayton, Ohio area please visit our web site at.

Set internal - switch - mode interface Type: Software, Hardware, or VLAN Now it’s getting a bit more interesting. As we have seen already, the software switch is present in any scenario, while the other ones are only possible in the “interface” mode. In any case, each created switch type must be configured with an IP address. • Software Switch: This is a logical (!) bound of interfaces of different types. It can be used if physical interfaces and WiFi interfaces/SSIDs/etc. Should be bound together. (I am not sure, but it sounds like this switch type is controlled merely by the CPU.

Maybe it’s not that fast compared to the hardware switch?) • Hardware Switch: A hardware switch bounds hardware interfaces together that are physically present on the same integrated switch. This is hardware dependent.

Load aster cracked. Not all FortiGate firewalls can be configured in the same way for hardware switches. • VLAN Switch: This is a type of hardware switch that adds the VLAN ID to it. With this feature it is possible to create a hardware switch within an already present VLAN on the network. This VLAN can be connected through another interface port in trunk mode to transport this VLAN to some other layer-2 switches.

I hope this bring a bit more understanding? Please write a comment if I missed something or explained something wrong. Featured image “” by is licensed under.
