To add a VLAN subinterface in Transparent mode

The VLAN ID of each VLAN subinterface must match the VLAN ID added by the IEEE 802.1Q-compliant router or switch. The VLAN ID can be any number between 1 and 4096. You add VLAN subinterfaces to the physical interface that receives VLAN- tagged packets.

Note: A VLAN must not have the same name as a virtual domain or zone.

1Go to System > Network > Interface.

2Select Create New to add a VLAN subinterface.

3Enter a Name to identify the VLAN subinterface.

4Select the physical interface that receives the VLAN packets intended for this VLAN subinterface.

5Enter the VLAN ID that matches the VLAN ID of the packets to be received by this VLAN subinterface.

6Select the virtual domain to which to add this VLAN subinterface.

See “System virtual domain” on page 131 for information about virtual domains.

7Enable or disable using a Dynamic DNS service (DDNS). If the FortiGate unit uses a dynamic IP address, you can arrange with a DDNS service provider to use a domain name to provide redirection of traffic to your network whenever the IP address changes.

8Configure the administrative access, MTU, and log settings as you would for any FortiGate interface.

See “Interface settings” on page 48 for more descriptions of these settings.

9Select OK to save your changes.

The FortiGate unit adds the new subinterface to the interface that you selected.

10Select Bring up to start the VLAN subinterface.

To add firewall policies for VLAN subinterfaces

Once you have added VLAN subinterfaces you can add firewall policies for connections between VLAN subinterfaces or from a VLAN subinterface to a physical interface.

1Go to Firewall > Address.

2Select Create New to add firewall addresses that match the source and destination IP addresses of VLAN packets.

See “Address” on page 198.

3Go to Firewall > Policy.

4Add firewall policies as required.
