Switch controller option to control the sources used to update the user device list 6.4.2
When the network monitor is enabled on the switch controller, FortiSwitch collects devices information and then populates the FortiGate's device list. You can control the specific sources that are used to populate the device list with the following CLI command:
config switch-controller global set update-user-device {mac-cache lldp dhcp-snooping l2-db l3-db} end
By default, all of the sources are enabled.

mac-cache | Update MAC addresses from the switch controller mac-cache. |
lldp | Update from the FortiSwitch LLDP neighbor database. |

l2-db | Update from the FortiSwitch Network-monitor Layer 2 tracking database. |
l3-db | Update from the FortiSwitch Network-monitor Layer 3 tracking database. |
For example, to configure FortiSwitch to gather device information through LLDP and the layer 2 and layer 3 tracking databases:
