Mapping underlay interfaces

Mapping underlay interfaces

We need to create normalized interfaces to map the overlay links to the underlay links. Normalized interfaces allows the new interfaces to be used when creating policies.

Create the following normalized interfaces:

  • OL_INET_0
  • OL_MPLS_0

Normalized interfaces for the following ports should have been created by default when you imported the policy package from FortiGate:

  • Port10
  • Port2
  • Port3
To create a normalized interface:
  1. Go to Policy & Objects > Object Configurations.
  2. In the tree menu, go to Normalized Interface > Normalized Interface.
  3. In the toolbar, click Create New. The Create New Normalized Interface dialog box is displayed.
  4. In the Name box, type OL_INET_0 for the normalized interface.
  5. Under Per-Device Mapping, click Create New. The Per-Device Mapping dialog box is displayed.
    1. In the Mapped Device list, select a device.
    2. In the Mapped Interface Name list, select an interface.
    3. Click OK.

      The mapped interface is added.

    4. Repeat this procedure to add a mapping for each device.
  6. Click OK.

    The normalized interface is created.

  7. Repeat this procedure to create a normalized interface named OL_MPLS_0.

    You can use the mapped interfaces in policies.
