Interface mapping

Interface mapping

After creating an interface on the FortiManager, an interface mapping must be created so that the new interface can be used when creating policies. To do this, create a new dynamic interface with per-device mapping.

To create a new dynamic interface with per-device mapping:
  1. Ensure you are in the correct ADOM.
  2. Go to Policy & Objects > Object Configurations.
  3. Go to Zone/Interface > Interface and click Create New > Dynamic interface.
  4. Enter a name and description for the dynamic interface.
  5. Turn on Per-Device Mapping.
  6. Click Add. The Per-Device Mapping dialog box opens.
  7. Select the device or VDOM in the Mapped Device field, select the interface in the Device Interface field, then click OK.
  8. Click OK to create the new dynamic interface object.

    The mapped interface can now be used when creating policies.
