Model device initialization enhancements 7.2.1

Model device initialization enhancement can provision the desired number of ports for a VM model and split switch ports for low-end FortiGate appliances.

To add a VM model device and set provisioning ports:

1. Go to Device Manager, and click Add Device > Add Model Device.
2. Enter the device's Name and Serial Number.
   When the serial number is entered for a VM device, the Port Provisioning field is displayed.
3. Set the number of ports to be provisioned. In the example below, Port Provisioning is set to four.
   
   Once this model device is added to FortiManager, four ports are created for the device automatically.
   

To add model device (40F, 60E/60F, 80E, 90E, 100E/100F) and set provisioning ports:

1. Go to Device Manager, and click Add Device > Add Model Device.
2. Enter the device's Name and Serial Number.
   When the serial number is entered for an eligible device (40F, 60E/60F, 80E, 90E, 100E/100F), the Split Switch Ports field is displayed.
3. Set the Split Switch Ports field to the On position.
   
   Once the model device is added into Device Manager, go to the System > Interface page. The default virtual hardware switch lan is deleted.
   

To view pre-defined CLI templates:

1. Go to Device Manager > Provisioning Templates > CLI Templates.
2. Under Pre-Run CLI Templates, the following default templates are available:
   • provision_interfaces_on_vm
   • split_hardware_switch_ports_40_80_100
   • split_hardware_switch_ports_60_90
