Creating normalized interfaces

Create the following normalized interfaces:

Name	Mapping	Notes
lan	port5	LAN-facing interface on all devices
lo-HC	lo-HC	Health-check loopback on Hubs

Map the LAN-facing interface according to your environment. We recommend using Per-Platform Mapping.

Normalizing an interface associates an object interface, which exists only in FortiManager, with a physical interface on the FortiGate.

To create normalized interfaces:

1. In FortiManager, go to Policy & Objects > Object Configurations > Normalized Interface.
2. Click Create New.

   The Create New Normalized Interface pane is displayed.

3. In the Name box, type a name, such as lan.
4. Add a per-platform mapping for lan.
   1. Under Per-Platform Mapping, click Create New.

      The Create new Per-Platform Mapping dialog box is displayed.

   2. In the Matched Platform list, select all.

      When you select all, a default mapping rule is created.

   3. In the Mapped Interface Name box, type port5.
   4. Click OK.

      The per-platform mapping is created.

5. Click OK.

   The normalized interface is created.

6. Repeat this procedure to create a normalized interface named lo-HC.
