Converting to FortiSwitch standalone mode
Use one of the following commands to convert a FortiSwitch from FortiLink mode to standalone mode so that it will no longer be managed by a FortiGate:
- execute switch-controller factory-reset <switch-id>
This command returns the FortiSwitch to the factory defaults and then reboots the FortiSwitch. If the FortiSwitch is configured for FortiLink auto-discovery, FortiGate can detect and automatically authorize the FortiSwitch. For example:
execute switch-controller factory-reset S1234567890
- execute switch-controller set-standalone <switch-id>
This command returns the FortiSwitch to the factory defaults, reboots the FortiSwitch, and prevents the FortiGate from automatically detecting and authorizing the FortiSwitch. For example: execute switch-controller set-standalone S1234567890
You can disable FortiLink auto-discovery on multiple FortiSwitch units using the following commands:
config switch-controller global set disable-discovery <switch-id>
end
For example:
config switch-controller global set disable-discovery S1234567890
end
You can also add or remove entries from the list of FortiSwitch units that have FortiLink auto-discovery disabled using the following commands:
config switch-controller global append disable-discovery <switch-id> unselect disable-discovery <switch-id>
end
For example:
config switch-controller global append disable-discovery S012345678 unselect disable-discovery S1234567890
end
