AMC modules

Using the AMC modules

For these multi-mode SFP interfaces, SerDes is the default mode. You can use a CLI command to change the interface to operate in SGMII mode.

Depending on the type of transceivers you install, you need to configure the FortiGate unit or module for the transceiver using the CLI. Use the mediatype keyword of the config system interface CLI command to change the interfaces to either SerDes or SGMII mode.

To change the media type for the proper transceiver, enter the following CLI command:

config system interface edit <interface_number>

set mediatype <sgmii-sfp serdes-sfp> end

For example:

config system interface edit AMC-SW1/1

set mediatype sgmii-sfp set speed auto

next

edit AMC-SW1/2

set mediatype sgmii-sfp set speed auto

end

Configure the speed

You must also ensure the speed for the interface is correct for the installed transceiver. Forcing the speed could result in link failure and disrupted service. Fortinet recommends enabling link speed auto negotiation by setting speed to auto.

Use the following command to configure the auto speed setting:

config system interface edit AMC-SW1/1

set speed auto

end
