Editing normalized interfaces for FortiAPs

After configuring the different templates, FortiManager displays the interfaces created on Policy & Objects > Objects configuration > Normalized Interface pane:

The FortiAP interfaces are created for reference, but have no associated interface name by default. We need to edit the interfaces and apply a per-platform or per-device mapping. In the following example, we edit the interface named Wireless_Lan to add a per-platform mapping for the FortiGate 60F model. We need to repeat this operation for all the SSIDs in tunnel mode.

To edit normalized interfaces:
  1. Go to Policy & Objects > Object Configurations > Normalized Interface.
  2. Double-click the interface named Wireless_Lan to open it for editing.
  3. Under Per-Platform Mapping, click Create New. The Create New Per-Platform Mapping dialog box is displayed.
  4. In the Matched Platform list, select FortiGate-60F.
  5. In the Mapped Interface Name box, type Wireless_Lan, and click OK to save the mapping.
  6. Click OK to save the normalized interface.
