Creating a normalized interface for FortiExtender

Before we can add FortiExtender to an existing SD-WAN template, we must create a normalized interface. As it will be our second internet link, we named it Internet2 in the example below.

We are using the name (FEX) of the virtual interface (type fext-wan) that we previously created in the CLI template.

To create a normalized interface for FortiExtender:

1. Go to Policy & Objects > Object Configurations > Normalized Interface, and click Create New. The Create New Normalized Interface pane is displayed.
2. In the Name box, type Internet2.
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, select FEX, and click OK to save the mapping.

   

6. Click OK to save the normalized interface.
