Configuring the discovery interface's IP address

You can configure the discovery interface's IP address via the FortiExtender GUI or CLI.

To configure the discovery interface's IP address via the GUI:

1. Log into the FortiExtender GUI as Connecting and logging into the FortiExtender 200F describes.
2. Go to Networking > Interface.
3. Under Physical Port, select the port to configure as the discovery interface.
4. Click the pencil icon beside the desired port.
5. Under Mode, select dhcp or static. If you select static, configure the required IP address in the IP field, using IP address/subnet format, and the desired gateway settings in the Gateway field.
6. Click Save.

   

To configure the discovery interface's IP address via the CLI:

Use the following CLI commands where <port> is port1 or port2 on the FortiExtender 200F and <mode> is dhcp or static:

config system interface
  edit <port>
    set mode { dhcp | static }
    set ip <interface IP address/subnet>
    set gateway <gateway IP address for static IP address configuration>
  next
end  

For example, to configure the FortiExtender 200F port1 with a static IP address and subnet of 192.168.2.1/24 and default gateway of 192.168.2.254, use the following CLI commands:

config system interface 
  edit port1
    set mode static
    set ip 192.168.2.1/24
    set gateway 192.168.2.254
  next
end
