Configuring FortiSwitch ports

When per-device management is enabled, you can use the FortiSwitch Manager pane to configure ports for each managed switch. When you configure ports, you can assign the VLANs, security policies, LLDP profiles, and QoS policies that you created by using the FortiSwitch Profiles tab.

To configure switch ports:

  1. Go to FortiSwitch Manager > Managed Switches.
  2. In the tree menu, select a FortiGate.

    The list of managed switches is displayed in the content pane.

  3. Double-click a switch.

    The FortiSwitch Ports pane is displayed.

  4. Double-click a port to open it for editing.

    The Edit Port dialog box is displayed.

  5. Edit the options and click OK.

    The changes are saved to the FortiGate database.

  6. Install the changes. See Installing changes to FortiSwitch devices.
