Example configurations

In this example, the internal interface is used as an inbound management interface. Also, the FortiSwitch unit has a default VLAN across all physical ports and its internal port.

Using the internal interface of a FortiSwitch-524D-FPOE

In this example, an out-of-band management interface is used as the dedicated management port. You can configure the management port for local or remote access.

set type physical

end

end

// optional configuration to allow remote access to the management port

config router static

set gateway 192.168.0.10

set status enable

end

Option 2: management port with IP assigned by DHCP
