if the DNS server is enable for the “ lan” interfaceįrom CLI or directly from the GUI, please set the following IP configuration on the “ lan” interface. If the “ lan” interface is used in an address or virtual IP’s configuration. If the DHCP server is enable on the interface configuration. If policies use “ lan” interface as incoming or outgoing interface. Be sure to remove them all ! in principle, the following points can count for a reference (this list is non-exhaustive). Step 1 – Remove all reference to “ lan” interfaceįrom the GUI, you can see the number of current references of this interface. To be able to use physical ports to handle various network configurations like DHCP server, DNS, VLAN sub-interfaces and so on, it is necessary to break the “ internal” member. You can check this using CLI: FWF60E-labo# show system switch-interfaceįrom CLI, if you edit the “ lan” interface, you can just add or remove the member named “ Internal” but you cannot configure it ! By default, all physical ports are members of this “ Internal” member. When I powered on the 60E for the first time, it comes with FortiOS 5.4.1 installed and when you look under “ Network” -> “ Interfaces“, you will not see all physical ports but only a member named “ Internal” which is used within a interface named “ lan“. “Wifi” just means that it is a Fortigate with Wireless capabilities. Today, I will briefly explain how to break/configure the “lan” default hardware switch present on some low-end Fortigate models which running 5.4.x FortiOS. Since few months, I have the chance to work with a lot of Fortinet products and I will begin to write some articles about these company. The wired laptop pulled the same ISO, and, obviously, the CPU barely blipped.Hello everybody ! This post is the first one about the Fortinet products. I' ve run into a small issue with it not broadcasting the SSID, so I am still working on that. I' ve now got it set up for VDOMs, with wifi in the transparent vdom, and 2-way vdom linking enabled. The interface was sluggish to move around in, too.
The wired finished first, the wireless took another few minutes (we have a 2Gig connection to the internet).ĭuring that time, the CPU fluctuated between 80-100% (no UTM enabled), then 65-80 after the wired completed. (I also had one grab the home edition, one grab the professional, so they would be unique files).
I then had both simultaneously download an ISO of Windows 7 64Bit from digitalRiver (they have a really nice pipe). I hooked up a wireless N laptop to the wifi, and another laptop wired (gig speed). Sorry, its a little slower completing this test (the never ending hey-can-you' s!).įor part one, I set up a 60C with softswitch (wifi and internal).
