Interface mapping

Interface mapping

After creating an interface on the FortiManager, an interface mapping must be created so that the new interface can be used when creating policies. To do this, create a new dynamic interface with per-device mapping.

To create a new dynamic interface with per-device mapping:
  1. Ensure you are in the correct ADOM.
  2. Go to Policy & Objects > Normalized Interface, and click Create New .
  3. Enter a name and description for the interface.
  4. Expand Per-Device Mapping, and click Create New. The Per-Device Mapping dialog box opens.
  5. Select the device or VDOM in the Mapped Device field, select the interface in the Device Interface field, then click OK.
  6. Click OK to create the new dynamic interface object.

    The mapped interface can now be used when creating policies.
