Physical interface

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.

For information about SFP/SFP+ interfaces, see:
