config system

Use the config system commands to configure options related to the overall operation of the FortiSwitch unit:

config system accprofile

Use this command to add access profiles that control administrator access to FortiSwitch features. Each FortiSwitch administrator account must include an access profile. You can create access profiles that deny access, allow read only, or allow both read and write access to FortiSwitch features.

Syntax

config system accprofile

edit <profile-name>

set admingrp {none | read | read-write}

set alias-commands {all | <list>}

set exec-alias-grp {none | read | read-write}

set loggrp {none | read | read-write}

set netgrp {none | read | read-write}

set routegrp {none | read | read-write}

set sysgrp {none | read | read-write}

end

Variable

Description

Default

<profile-name>

Enter the name for the profile.

No default

admingrp {none | read | read-write}

Set the access permission for admingrp.

none

alias-commands {all | <list>}

Specify the aliases and alias groups to include in the access profile or specify all. The aliases and alias groups specified for this access profile control which commands an administrator can run using the execute alias commands. Use a space to separate multiple items.

No default

exec-alias-grp {none | read | read-write}

Specify one of the following options:

  • Select none to prevent access to the execute alias configure commands.

  • Select read to provide access to the execute alias configure {get | show | show-full-configuration} command.
  • Select read-write to provide access to the execute alias configure {get | show | show-full-configuration | set | unset} and execute alias script commands.

none

loggrp {none | read | read-write}

Set the access permission for loggrp.

none

netgrp {none | read | read-write}

Set the access permission for netgrp.

none

routegrp {none | read | read-write}

Set the access permission for routegrp.

none

sysgrp {none | read | read-write}

Set the access permission for sysgrp.

none

Example

This example shows how to configure an access profile with just read-only permission:

config system accprofile

edit profile1

set admingrp read

set loggrp read

set netgrp read

set routegrp read

set sysgrp read

end

config system admin

Use the default admin account or an account with system configuration read and write privileges to add new administrator accounts and control their permission levels. Each administrator account except the default admin must include an access profile. You cannot delete the default super admin account or change the access profile (super_admin). In addition, there is also an access profile that allows read-only super admin privileges, super_admin_readonly. The super_admin_readonly profile cannot be deleted or changed, similar to the super_admin profile. This read-only super-admin may be used in a situation where it is necessary to troubleshoot a customer configuration without making changes.

You can authenticate administrators using a password stored on the FortiSwitch unit or you can use a RADIUS server to perform authentication. When you use RADIUS authentication, you can authenticate specific administrators or you can allow any account on the RADIUS server to access the FortiSwitch unit as an administrator.

config system alias command

Use this command to grant an administrator access to individual configuration attributes, table entries, or CLI commands. You can also use this command to create a script to run multiple commands. Scripts are a simpler way to manage a large number of commands.

Notes:
  • Configuration-type aliases cannot create or delete table entries. For example, under the config switch interface command, you cannot create a new interface name with the edit <interface_name> command.
  • The super_admin administrator profile has access to all command aliases.

Syntax

config system alias command

edit <alias_name or script_name>

set description <string>

set type {configuration | script}

set path <path>

set attribute <attibute-name>

set permission {read | read-write}

No default

type {integer | string | table-id}

Enter the data type that the argument accepts.

string

name <string>

Enter the display name for the argument. You can use uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. The display name is shown when the user runs the execute alias script command.

No default

help <string>

Enter a help message for the argument. You can use uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, slashes, parentheses, brackets, commas, underscores, and hyphens. The help message is displayed when the user runs the execute alias script command.

No default

optional {enable | disable}

Enable this option to allow the user to omit entering a value for this argument. Disable this option to force the user to specify a value for this argument.

disable

range {enable | disable}

Examples

The following example creates two aliases for the config switch physical-port command.

  • The port-description alias allows an administrator to change the set description value; when running a get or show command, the administrator will see only the description configuration.
  • The port-status alias allows an administrator to change the set status value; the administrator will see both the description and port status configuration when running get or show commands.

config system alias command

edit "port-status"

set description "View or change the port status."

set type configuration

set path "switch.physical-port"

set attribute "status"

set permission read-write

set limit-shown-attributes enable

set read-only-attributes "description"

next

edit "port-description"

set description "View or change the port description."

set type configuration

set path "switch.physical-port"

set attribute "description"

set permission read-write

set limit-shown-attributes enable

next

end

The following example creates two scripts. Both scripts list the switch mac-address table.

  • The mac-list script is more flexible because it requires that the user specify the VLANs to list the MAC addresses from.
  • The list-mac-by-port-and-vlan-customer-AAA script is more controlled because it allows the user to see the MAC addresses learned on the specified VLANs.

config system alias command

edit "list-mac-by-port-and-vlan-customer-AAA"

set description "List MAC addresses on your VLANs and ports."

set type script

set command "diag switch mac-address filter clear

diag switch mac-address filter port-id-map 3-8

diag switch mac-address filter vlan-map 1000-1010

diag switch mac-address list

diag switch mac-address filter clear"

next

edit "mac-list"

set description "List MAC addresses learned on the provided VLANs"

set type script

set command "diag switch mac-address filter clear

diag switch mac-address filter vlan-map $1

diag switch mac-address list | grep -i mac

diag switch mac-address filter clear"

config script-arguments

edit 1

set name "VLAN-ID-map"

set help "List of VLANs to check"

next

end

next

end

status {down | up}

Start or stop the interface. If the interface is stopped, it does not accept or send packets. If you stop a physical interface, associated virtual interfaces such as VLAN interfaces will also stop.

up(down for VLANs)

type {loopback | vlan}

Enter the type of interface. NOTE: Some types are read only and are set automatically by hardware.
  • loopback — a virtual interface that is always up. This interface’s status and link status are not affected by external changes. It is primarily used for blackhole routing - dropping all packets that match this route. This route is advertised to neighbors through dynamic routing protocols as any other static route. loopback interfaces have no dhcp settings, no forwarding, no mode, or dns settings. You can create a loopback interface from the CLI or Web-based manager.
  • vlan — a virtual LAN interface. This is the type of interface created by default on any existing physical interface. VLANs increase the number of network interfaces beyond the physical connections on the system. VLANs cannot be configured on a switch mode interface in Transparent mode.

vlan

vlanid <id_number>

Enter a VLAN ID that matches the VLAN ID of the packets to be received by this VLAN subinterface. The VLAN ID can be any number between 1 and 4094, as 0 and 4095 are reserved, but it must match the VLAN ID added by the IEEE 802.1Q-compliant router on the other end of the connection. Two VLAN subinterfaces added to the same physical interface cannot have the same VLAN ID. However, you can add two or more VLAN subinterfaces with the same VLAN ID to different physical interfaces, and you can add more multiple VLANs with different VLAN IDs to the same physical interface. This is available only when editing an interface with a type of VLAN.

config system settings

Use this comand to configure equal cost multi-path (ECMP) routing.

ECMP is a forwarding mechanism that enables load-sharing of traffic to multiple paths of equal cost. An ECMP set is formed when the routing table contains multiple next-hop address for the same destination with equal cost. Routes of equal cost have the same preference and metric value. If there is an ECMP set for an active route, the switch uses a hash algorithm to choose one of the next-hop addresses. As input to the hash, the switch uses one or more of the following fields in the packet to be routed:

  • Source IP
  • Destination IP
  • Input port

Syntax

config system settings

set ip-ecmp-mode {source-ip-based | dst-ip-based | port-based}

end

Variable

Description

Default

ip-ecmp-mode {source-ip-based | dst-ip-based | port-based}

config system sflow

Use this command to add or change the IP address and UDP port that FortiSwitch sFlow agents use to send sFlow datagrams to sFlow collectors.

sFlow is a network monitoring protocol described in http://www.sflow.org. FortiSwitch implements sFlow version 5. You can configure one or more FortiSwitch interfaces as sFlow agents that monitor network traffic and send sFlow datagrams containing information about traffic flow to sFlow collectors.

sFlow is normally used to provide an overall traffic flow picture of your network. You would usually operate sFlow agents on switches, routers, and firewall on your network, collect traffic data from all of them and use collectors to show traffic flows and patterns.

config system snmp community

Use this command to configure SNMP communities on your FortiSwitch unit. You add SNMP communities so that SNMP managers can connect to the system to view system information and receive SNMP traps. SNMP traps are triggered when system events occur.

You can add up to three SNMP communities. Each community can have a different configuration for SNMP queries and traps. Each community can be configured to monitor the system for a different set of events. You can also the add IP addresses of up to 8 SNMP managers for each community.

Whey you configure an SNMP manager, ensure that you list it as a host in a community on the FortiSwitch that it will be monitoring. Otherwise, the SNMP monitor will not receive any traps from that FortiSwitch unit, and will not be able to query it.

Set the access permission for admingrp.

none

alias-commands {all | <list>}

Specify the aliases and alias groups to include in the access profile or specify all. The aliases and alias groups specified for this access profile control which commands an administrator can run using the execute alias commands. Use a space to separate multiple items.

No default

exec-alias-grp {none | read | read-write}

Specify one of the following options:

  • Select none to prevent access to the execute alias configure commands.

  • Select read to provide access to the execute alias configure {get | show | show-full-configuration} command.

set routegrp read

set sysgrp read

end

config system admin

Use the default admin account or an account with system configuration read and write privileges to add new administrator accounts and control their permission levels. Each administrator account except the default admin must include an access profile. You cannot delete the default super admin account or change the access profile (super_admin). In addition, there is also an access profile that allows read-only super admin privileges, super_admin_readonly. The super_admin_readonly profile cannot be deleted or changed, similar to the super_admin profile. This read-only super-admin may be used in a situation where it is necessary to troubleshoot a customer configuration without making changes.

You can authenticate administrators using a password stored on the FortiSwitch unit or you can use a RADIUS server to perform authentication. When you use RADIUS authentication, you can authenticate specific administrators or you can allow any account on the RADIUS server to access the FortiSwitch unit as an administrator.

  • The port-status alias allows an administrator to change the set status value; the administrator will see both the description and port status configuration when running get or show commands.

config system alias command

edit "port-status"

set description "View or change the port status."

set type configuration

set path "switch.physical-port"

set attribute "status"

set permission read-write

set limit-shown-attributes enable

set read-only-attributes "description"

next

edit "port-description"

set description "View or change the port description."

set type configuration

set path "switch.physical-port"

set attribute "description"

set permission read-write

set limit-shown-attributes enable

next

end

The following example creates two scripts. Both scripts list the switch mac-address table.

  • The mac-list script is more flexible because it requires that the user specify the VLANs to list the MAC addresses from.
  • The list-mac-by-port-and-vlan-customer-AAA script is more controlled because it allows the user to see the MAC addresses learned on the specified VLANs.

config system alias command

edit "list-mac-by-port-and-vlan-customer-AAA"

set description "List MAC addresses on your VLANs and ports."

set type script

set command "diag switch mac-address filter clear

diag switch mac-address filter port-id-map 3-8

diag switch mac-address filter vlan-map 1000-1010

diag switch mac-address list

diag switch mac-address filter clear"

next

edit "mac-list"

set description "List MAC addresses learned on the provided VLANs"

set type script

set command "diag switch mac-address filter clear

diag switch mac-address filter vlan-map $1

diag switch mac-address list | grep -i mac

Start or stop the interface. If the interface is stopped, it does not accept or send packets. If you stop a physical interface, associated virtual interfaces such as VLAN interfaces will also stop.

up(down for VLANs)

type {loopback | vlan}

Enter the type of interface. NOTE: Some types are read only and are set automatically by hardware.
  • loopback — a virtual interface that is always up. This interface’s status and link status are not affected by external changes. It is primarily used for blackhole routing - dropping all packets that match this route. This route is advertised to neighbors through dynamic routing protocols as any other static route. loopback interfaces have no dhcp settings, no forwarding, no mode, or dns settings. You can create a loopback interface from the CLI or Web-based manager.
  • vlan — a virtual LAN interface. This is the type of interface created by default on any existing physical interface. VLANs increase the number of network interfaces beyond the physical connections on the system. VLANs cannot be configured on a switch mode interface in Transparent mode.

vlan

vlanid <id_number>

Enter a VLAN ID that matches the VLAN ID of the packets to be received by this VLAN subinterface. The VLAN ID can be any number between 1 and 4094, as 0 and 4095 are reserved, but it must match the VLAN ID added by the IEEE 802.1Q-compliant router on the other end of the connection. Two VLAN subinterfaces added to the same physical interface cannot have the same VLAN ID. However, you can add two or more VLAN subinterfaces with the same VLAN ID to different physical interfaces, and you can add more multiple VLANs with different VLAN IDs to the same physical interface. This is available only when editing an interface with a type of VLAN.

config system settings

Use this comand to configure equal cost multi-path (ECMP) routing.

ECMP is a forwarding mechanism that enables load-sharing of traffic to multiple paths of equal cost. An ECMP set is formed when the routing table contains multiple next-hop address for the same destination with equal cost. Routes of equal cost have the same preference and metric value. If there is an ECMP set for an active route, the switch uses a hash algorithm to choose one of the next-hop addresses. As input to the hash, the switch uses one or more of the following fields in the packet to be routed:

  • Source IP
  • Destination IP
  • Input port

Syntax

config system settings

set ip-ecmp-mode {source-ip-based | dst-ip-based | port-based}

end

Variable

Description

Default

ip-ecmp-mode {source-ip-based | dst-ip-based | port-based}

Select the IPv4 ECMP mode:

  • dst-ip-based — Select the next hop based on the destination IP address.
  • port-based — Select the next hop based on the TCP/UDP port.
  • source-ip-based — Select the next hop based on the source IP address.

source-ip-based

Example

This example shows how to configure ECMP:

config system settings

set ip-ecmp-mode port-based

end

config system sflow

Use this command to add or change the IP address and UDP port that FortiSwitch sFlow agents use to send sFlow datagrams to sFlow collectors.

sFlow is a network monitoring protocol described in http://www.sflow.org. FortiSwitch implements sFlow version 5. You can configure one or more FortiSwitch interfaces as sFlow agents that monitor network traffic and send sFlow datagrams containing information about traffic flow to sFlow collectors.

sFlow is normally used to provide an overall traffic flow picture of your network. You would usually operate sFlow agents on switches, routers, and firewall on your network, collect traffic data from all of them and use collectors to show traffic flows and patterns.

Syntax

config system sflow

config collectors

edit <collector_name>

set ip <collector_IPv4_address>

set port <collector_port>

next

end

end

Variable

Description

Default

<collector_name>

Enter a name for the sFlow collector.

No default

ip <collector_IPv4_address>

The sFlow agents send sFlow datagrams to the sFlow collector at this IPv4 address.

0.0.0.0

port <collector_port>

The UDP port number used for sending sFlow datagrams. Change this setting only if required by your sFlow collector or your network configuration. The value range is 0-65535.

6343

Example

This example shows how to configure sFlow:

config system sflow

end

config system snmp community

Use this command to configure SNMP communities on your FortiSwitch unit. You add SNMP communities so that SNMP managers can connect to the system to view system information and receive SNMP traps. SNMP traps are triggered when system events occur.

You can add up to three SNMP communities. Each community can have a different configuration for SNMP queries and traps. Each community can be configured to monitor the system for a different set of events. You can also the add IP addresses of up to 8 SNMP managers for each community.

Whey you configure an SNMP manager, ensure that you list it as a host in a community on the FortiSwitch that it will be monitoring. Otherwise, the SNMP monitor will not receive any traps from that FortiSwitch unit, and will not be able to query it.

Syntax

config system snmp community
