This variable is only available when the type is vlan.

vlan-protocol {8021ad | 8021q}

Set the ethernet protocol of the VLAN (IEEE 802.1AD or IEEE 802.1Q, default = IEEE 802.1Q).

This variable is only available when the type is vlan.

Variables for config member subcommand:

This subcommand is only available when the type is aggregate.

<interface-name>

Enter the interface name that belongs to the aggregate or the redundant interface.

Variables for config ipv6 subcommand:

ip6-address <ipv6 prefix>

IPv6 address/prefix of interface.

ip6-allowaccess {http https https-logging ping snmp ssh webservice}

Allow management access to the interface.

ip6-autoconf {enable | disable}

Enable/disable address automatic configuration (SLAAC) (default = enable).

Example

This example shows how to set the FortiManager port1 interface IPv4 address and network mask to 192.168.100.159 and 255.255.255.0, and the management access to ping, https, and ssh.

config system interface

edit port1
