Physical interface
A FortiGate has several physical interfaces that can connect to Ethernet or optical cables. Depending on the FortiGate model, it can have a varying combination of Ethernet, small form-factor pluggable (SFP), and enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) interfaces.
The port names, as labeled on the FortiGate, appear in the interfaces list on the Network > Interfaces page. Hover the cursor over a port to view information, such as the name and the IP address.
Refer to Configuring an interface for basic GUI and CLI configuration steps.
Displaying transceiver status information for SFP and SFP+ interfaces
Transceiver status information for SFP and SFP+ interfaces installed on the FortiGate can be displayed in the GUI and CLI. For example, the type, vendor name, part number, serial number, and port name. The CLI output includes additional information that can be useful for diagnosing transmission problems, such as the temperature, voltage, and optical transmission power.
To view transceiver status information in the GUI:
- Go to Network > Interfaces. The Transceiver column is visible in the table, which displays the transceiver vendor name and part number.
- Hover the cursor over a transceiver to view more information.
To view transceiver status information in the CLI:
