Configuring normalized interfaces

We must create normalized interfaces (previously known as dynamic interfaces) on FortiManager, and map the interfaces to the tunnel interfaces on our FortiGates.

For spokes, create the following normalized interfaces:

Normalized interface	Default mapping
OL_INET_DC1	OL_INET_11
OL_INET_DC2	OL_INET_12
OL_MPLS_DC1	OL_MPLS_21
OL_MPLS_DC2	OL_MPLS_22

For hubs, create the following normalized interfaces:

Normalized interface	Default mapping
OL_INET	OL_INET_0
OL_MPLS	OL_MPLS_0

To create normalized interfaces:

1. Go to Policy & Objects > Object Configurations.
2. In the tree menu, click Normalized Interface > Normalized Interface.
3. In the toolbar, click Create New. The Create New Normalized Interface is displayed.
4. In the Name box, type OL_INET_DC1.
5. Under Per-Platform Mapping, click Create New. The Create New Per-Platform Mapping dialog box is displayed.
6. In the Matched Platform list, select all.
7. In the Mapped Interface Name box, type OL_INET_11, and click OK.
8. Click OK.

   The normalized interface is created.

9. Repeat this procedure to create all needed normalized interfaces.
