Configuring the network interfaces
You can configure network interfaces either via the web UI or the CLI. If your network uses
VLANs, you can also configure VLAN subinterfaces. For details, see “Adding VLAN
subinterfaces” on page 117.
To configure a network interface’s IP address via the web UI
1. Go to System > Network > Interface.
To access this part of the web UI, your administrator's account access profile must have
Read and Write permission to items in the Network Configuration category. For details, see
“Permissions” on page 47.
If the FortiWeb appliance is operating in true transparent proxy or transparent inspection mode
and you will configure a V-zone (bridge), do not configure any physical network interfaces other
than port1. Configured NICs cannot be added to a bridge. For details, see “Configuring a bridge
(V-zone)” on page 122.
If this FortiWeb will belong to a FortiWeb HA cluster, do not configure any network interface that
will be used as an HA heartbeat and synchronization link. If you are re-cabling your network and
must configure it, connect and switch to the new HA link first. Failure to do so could cause
unintentional downtime, failover, and ignored IP address configuration. To switch the HA link,
see “Configuring a high availability (HA) FortiWeb cluster” on page 97.
If the network interface’s Status column is Bring Up, its administrative status is currently
“down” and it will not receive or emit packets, even if you otherwise configure it. To bring up
the network interface, click the Bring Up link.
