1. Re: FortiGate Firewall with Forti-Link (Juan Romero)
--- Begin Message ---
Thx guys for your answers.
F-Link uses non routable 169.x address and when the switches are managed by the
Fortigate, there's no need to define a management interface on them since all
their cfg and settings can be managed directly from the firewall.
It's also possible that there's a separate MIB for Fortigate that can be used
for this, so I'll try to find that out
Thanks again

Subject: Re: [Netdisco] FortiGate Firewall with Forti-Link
Hi Juan,
Is this anything like fabric extenders (FEX) on Cisco? We had some difficulty
with them in the past as the data can appear in nonstandard ways.
I'd open a ticket with your support partner if you have one (simply asking in
a generic way how to SNMP get a list of interfaces and MAC addresses attached
on the FortiSwitches).
A brute force way to investigate would be to run an snmpwalk from .1 on the
device and look for a known MAC address or interface description on a
FortiSwitch.
Alternatively if the information is available at the command-line we can do
SSH collection ... at the moment only ARP table supported but in theory no
reason Netdisco could not do that for additional interfaces and also MAC
address and VLAN info.
Or if you can get the FortiSwitches to be active with their own management IP
then of course direct gather might work.
Good luck!
regards
Oliver.

Hi guys:
Running discoveries against a FortiGate FW (FortiOS 7.2) with FortiSwitches
connected using F-Link only provides info about the FortiGate but nothing about
the switches.
1st time I'm targeting a FGate with F-Link so I'm not sure if this is the
expected result or if there's something I'm missing so that NetDisco can also
grab switches info.
Any help highly appreciated
Thanks!
Juan.
