Configuring FortiSwitch profiles
When per-device management is enabled, you can use the FortiSwitch Manager pane to configure profile and policy settings for each managed switch. The settings are saved to the FortiGate database, but not yet assigned or installed to switches.
You can configure the following types of profiles and policies:
- VLANs
- Security policies
- LLDP profiles
- QoS policies
After you create the profiles and policies, you can configure ports for managed switches to select the VLANs, policies, and profiles you created, and then assign and install the settings to managed switches.
