using the web-based manager (also known as the GUI) or the CLI.
If you will be managing your FortiSwitch unit using a FortiGate, please see the guide Managing
a FortiSwitch unit with a FortiGate.
Supported Models
This guide is for all FortiSwitch models that are supported by FortiSwitchOS. This includes the
following models:
Before you start administrating your FortiSwitch unit, it is assumed that you have completed the
initial configuration of the FortiSwitch unit, as outlined in the QuickStart Guide for your
FortiSwitch model and have administrative access to the FortiSwitch unit’s web-based manager
and CLI.
How this Guide is Organized
This guide is organized into the following chapters:
• System Settings contains information about the initial configuration of your FortiSwitch unit.
• Ports contains information on configuring your FortiSwitch’s ports.
• 802.1x contains information on using 802.1x protocol.
• LACP Mode contains information on using a FortiSwitch in Link Aggregation Control

This chapter contains information about the initial configuration of your FortiSwitch unit.
Configuring the Management Ports
Using the web-based manager:
First start by editing the default internal interface’s configuration.
1. Go to System > Network > Interface and edit the internal interface.
2. Assign an IP/Netmask.
3. Set Administrative Access to use the desired protocols to connect to the interface.
4. Select OK.
Next, create a new interface to be used for management.
1. Go to System > Network > Interface and select Create New to create a management VLAN.
2. Give the interface an appropriate name.
3. Set Interface to internal.
4. Set a VLAN ID.
5. Assign an IP/Netmask.
6. Set Administrative Access to use the desired protocols to connect to the interface.
7. Select OK.
Using the CLI:
config system interface
edit internal
set ip <address>
set allowaccess <access_types>
set type physical
next
edit <name>
set ip <address>
set allowaccess <access_types>
set interface internal
set vlanid 10
end
end
Example Configurations
The following are four example configurations for management ports, with the CLI syntax
shown to create them.

Example 1: Port 48 as an inbound management interface
In this example, a physical port is used as an inbound management interface. Also, the
FortiSwitch in the example has no default VLAN configured to connect its internal interface to
any physical port.
