FortiLink auto network configuration policy

The switch controller has a network auto-config option which contains configurable defaults, policy customization, and an individual interface override. This gives administrators simple and flexible control.

Following is a description of these options:

auto-config default	Provides the default actions for the first hop (fgt-policy) and lower-tier devices (isl-policy).
auto-config policy	A database containing policies that can be applied as a system-wide default or to a specific interface.
auto-config custom	Allows for the override of the auto-config default on a specific interface. This information is retained and is reapplied if an interface leaves and then is rediscovered.

To configure automatic network detection:

1. Create or modify an auto-config policy:

   config switch-controller auto-config  policy 
      edit test123 
         get
            name                : test123
            qos-policy          : default     <== leverage the default qos-policy
            storm-control-policy: auto-config <== leverage auto-config storm-control-policy by default
            poe-status          : enable      <== If target of auto-config is poe port, keep poe-status enabled by default
      next
   end

2. Designate an auto-config policy to FortiLink, ISL, or ICL on managed FortiSwitches.

   config switch-controller auto-config default 
       get
           fgt-policy          : test123 
           isl-policy          : test123 
           icl-policy          : test123 
       set  ?
           fgt-policy    Default FortiLink auto-config policy.
           isl-policy    Default ISL auto-config policy.
           icl-policy    Default ICL auto-config policy.
   end

3. Customize an auto-config policy for a specific FGT, ICL, or ISL interface.

   config switch-controller auto-config custom 
       edit ? 
         *name    Auto-Config FortiLink or ISL/ICL interface name.
       edit G5H0E391790XXXX
         new entry 'G5H0E391790XXXX' added
           config switch-binding 
               edit ?
                 *switch-id    Switch name.
               edit S524DN4K1500XXXX
                 new entry 'S524DN4K1500XXXX' added
                   get
                       switch-id           : S524DN4K1500XXXX
                       policy              : default 
               next
           end
       next
   end
