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"
           set qos-policy default      --------> leverage the default qos-policy
           set storm-control-policy auto-config      --------> leverage auto-config storm-control-policy by default
           set poe-status enable      --------> If target of auto-config is poe port, keep poe-status enabled by default
       next
   end

2. Designate the default auto-config policy to FortiLink, ISL, or ICL on managed FortiSwitch devices:

   config switch-controller auto-config default
       set fgt-policy test123
       set isl-policy test123
       set icl-policy test123
   end

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

   config switch-controller auto-config custom
       edit "G5H0E391790XXXX"
           config switch-binding
               edit "S524DN4K1500XXXX"
                   set policy <policy>
               next
           end
       next
   end
