The names of the physical interfaces on your FortiGate unit. This
includes any alias names that have been configured.
The name and number of a physical interface depends on the model.
Some names indicate the default function of the interface such as
Internal, External and DMZ. Other names are generic such as port1.
FortiGate models numbered 50 and 60 provide a modem interface. See
“Configuring the modem interface” on page 101.
The oob/ha interface is the FortiGate model 4000 out of band
management interface. You can connect to this interface to manage the
FortiGate unit. This interface is also available as an HA heartbeat
interface.
On FortiGate-60ADSL units, you can configure the ADSL interface. See
“Configuring an ADSL interface” on page 85.
On FortiGate models 800 and higher, if you combine several interfaces
into an aggregate interface, only the aggregate interface is listed, not
the component interfaces. The same is true for redundant interfaces.
See “Creating an 802.3ad aggregate interface” on page 86 or “Creating
a redundant interface” on page 87.
On the FortiGate model 224B in switch view, port1 through port26 are
not shown. These are switch-VLAN ports. See “Viewing switch-LAN
ports” on page 209.
If you have added VLAN subinterfaces, they also appear in the name
list, below the physical or aggregated interface to which they have been
added. See “VLAN overview” on page 107.
If you have loopback or inter-VDOM link virtual interfaces configured
you will be able to view them. You can only edit these types of
interfaces in the CLI. For more information on these interfaces see
“Interfaces only configurable with CLI commands” on page 93 or the
config system interface and config system inter-vdom
commands in the FortiGate CLI Reference.
If virtual domain configuration is enabled, you can view information only
for the interfaces that are in your current virtual domain, unless you are
using the super admin account.
If you have interface mode enabled on a FortiGate model 100A or 200A
Rev2.0 or higher or on the FortiGate-60B and FortiWiFi-60B models,
you will see multiple internal interfaces. If switch mode is enabled, there
will only be one internal interface. For more information see “Switch
Mode” on page 82.
If your FortiGate unit supports AMC modules and if you have installed
an AMC module containing interfaces (for example, the
FortiGate-ASM-FB4 contains 4 interfaces) these interfaces are added
to the interface status display. The interfaces are named AMC/1,
AMC/2, and so on.
The current IP address/netmask of the interface.
The administrative access configuration for the interface.
See “Additional configuration for interfaces” on page 94.
The virtual domain to which the interface belongs. This column is visible
only to the super admin and only when virtual domain configuration is
enabled.
Status
The administrative status for the interface.
If the administrative status is a green arrow, the interface is up and can
accept network traffic. If the administrative status is a red arrow, the
interface is administratively down and cannot accept traffic. To change
the administrative status, select Bring Down or Bring Up.
