Editing network interfaces
You can edit FortiVoice’s physical network interfaces to change their IP addresses, netmasks,
administrative access protocols, and other settings. You can also create or edit logical
interfaces, such as VLANs, redundant interfaces and the loopback interface.
You can restrict which IP addresses are permitted to log in as a FortiVoice administrator through
network interfaces. For details, see “Configuring administrator accounts” on page 50.
To create or edit a network interface
1. Go to System > Network > Network.
2. Double-click a network interface to modify it or select the interface and click Edit. If you want
to create a logical interface, click New.
The Edit Interface dialog appears.
3. Configure the following:
Type Displays the interface type: physical, VLAN, redundant, or loopback. For
details, see “About FortiVoice logical interfaces” on page 39.
IP/Netmask Displays the IP address and netmask of the network interface.
IPv6/Netmask Displays the IPv6 address and netmask of the network interface. For
more information about IPv6 support, see “About IPv6 Support” on
page 38.
Access Displays the administrative access and phone user access that are
enabled on the network interface, such as HTTPS for the web-based
manager.
Status Indicates the up (available) or down (unavailable) administrative status
for the network interface.
• Green up arrow: The network interface is up and can receive traffic.
• Red down arrow: The network interface is down and cannot receive
traffic.
To change the administrative status (that is, bring up or down a network
interface), see “Editing network interfaces” on page 41.
Enable administrative access only on network interfaces connected to trusted private
networks or directly to your management computer. If possible, enable only secure
administrative access protocols such as HTTPS or SSH. Failure to restrict administrative
access could compromise the security of your FortiVoice unit.
