Variable

Description

<port>

<port> can be set to a port number such as port1, port2, port3, or port4. Different FortiManager models have different numbers of ports.

status {up | down}

Start or stop the interface. If the interface is stopped it does not accept or send packets. If you stop a physical interface, VLAN interfaces associated with it also stop. Default: up

ip <ipv4_mask>

Enter the interface IPv4 address and netmask. The IPv4 address cannot be on the same subnet as any other interface.

allowaccess {http https ping snmp ssh telnet webservice}

Enter the types of management access permitted on this interface. Separate multiple selected types with spaces.

If you want to add or remove an option from the list, retype the list as required.

Options include: http, https, ping, snmp, ssh, telnet, and webservice.

serviceaccess {fclupdates fgtupdates webfilter-antispam}

Enter the types of service access permitted on this interface. Separate multiple selected types with spaces. If you want to add or remove an option from the list, retype the list as required. The following options are available:

  • fclupdates: FortiClient updates access.
  • fgtupdates: FortiGate updates access.
  • webfilter-antispam: Web filtering and antispam access.

speed {1000full 100full 100half 10full 10half auto}

Enter the speed and duplexing the network port uses. Enter auto to automatically negotiate the fastest common speed. The following options are available:

  • 100full: 100M full-duplex.
  • 100half: 100M half-duplex.
  • 10full: 10M full-duplex.
  • 10half: 10M half-duplex.
  • auto: Auto adjust speed default).

description <string>

Enter a description of the interface. Character limit: 63

alias <string>

Enter an alias for the interface.

mtu <integer>

Set the maximum transportation unit, from 68 to 9000. Default: 1500

Variables forconfig ipv6subcommand:

ip6-address <ipv6 prefix>

IPv6 address/prefix of interface.

ip6-allowaccess {http https ping snmp ssh telnet webservice}

Allow management access to the interface.

Options include: http, https, ping, snmp, ssh, telnet, and webservice.

ip6-autoconf {enable | disable}

Enable/disable address automatic configuration (SLAAC). Default: enable

Example

This example shows how to set the FortiManager port1 interface IPv4 address and network mask to 192.168.100.159 and 255.255.255.0, and the management access to ping, https, and ssh.

config system interface

edit port1

set allowaccess ping https ssh

set ip 192.168.110.26 255.255.255.0

set status up
