Replacing a Modeled Device
When adding a switch or router that will use the same IP address as the original device, the original model in Topology must be deleted from the database and a new model added. This ensures all internal mappings and files associated to that model are correct for the new device. Otherwise, unexpected behavior can occur such as…
-
Unable to read VLANS
-
L2/L3 Poll failures
-
Credential validation failure
-
Switching VLANs on the wrong ports
Note: Deleting the model from FortiNAC removes all manual switch device and port groupings done on the switch model.
For instructions, see section Replace a device using the same IP address of the Administration Guide.
