To add a VLAN subinterface

See “To add a VLAN subinterface in NAT/Route mode” on page 65.

To bring down an interface that is administratively up

You can bring down physical interfaces or VLAN subinterfaces. Bringing down a physical interface also brings down the VLAN subinterfaces associated with it.

1Go to System > Network > Interface. The interface list is displayed.

2Select Bring Down for the interface that you want to stop.

To start up an interface that is administratively down

You can start up physical interfaces and VLAN subinterfaces. Starting a physical interface does not start the VLAN subinterfaces added to it.

1Go to System > Network > Interface. The interface list is displayed.

2Select Bring Up for the interface that you want to start.

To add interfaces to a zone

If you have added zones to the FortiGate unit, you can use this procedure to add interfaces or VLAN subinterfaces to the zone. To add a zone, see “To add a zone” on page 59. You cannot add an interface to a zone if you have added firewall policies for the interface. Delete firewall policies for the interface and then add the interface to the zone.

1Go to System > Network > Zone.

2Choose the zone to add the interface or VLAN subinterface to and select Edit.

3Select the names of the interfaces or VLAN subinterfaces to add to the zone.

4Select OK to save the changes.

To add an interface to a virtual domain

If you have added virtual domains to the FortiGate unit, you can use this procedure to add an interface or VLAN subinterface to a virtual domain. To add a virtual domain, see “To add a virtual domain” on page 135. You cannot add an interface to a virtual domain if you have added firewall policies for the interface. Delete firewall policies for the interface and then add the interface to the virtual domain.

1Go to System > Network > Interface.

2Choose the interface or VLAN subinterface to add to a virtual domain and select Edit.

3From the Virtual Domain list, select the virtual domain that you want to add the interface to.

4Select OK to save the changes.

5Repeat these steps to add more interfaces or VLAN subinterfaces to virtual domains.
