Management traffic limitations

FortiGate-6000 and 7000 platforms support management traffic over out of band (OOB) management interfaces only:

• The FortiGate-6000 MGMT 1 to 3 interfaces on the FortiGate-6000.
• The FortiGate-7000 mgmt static LAG interface on the FortiGate-7000 FIMs. The mgmt LAG includes the MGMT 1 to 4 interfaces and this LAG configuration should not be changed.

Using data interfaces for management traffic is currently not supported. The following command is available to allow management traffic over data interfaces in a VDOM, but this command is currently not recommended as the feature is still under development.

config vdom

edit <vdom-name>

config system settings

set motherboard-traffic-forwarding admin
