For these multi-mode SFP interfaces, SerDes is the default mode. You can use a
CLI command to change the interface to operate in SGMII mode.

Depending on the type of transceivers you install, you need to configure the
FortiGate unit or module for the transceiver using the CLI. Use the mediatype

keyword of the config system interface CLI command to change the

interfaces to either SerDes or SGMII mode.

To change the media type for the proper transceiver, enter the following CLI
command:

config system interface

edit
set mediatype

end

For example:

config system interface

edit AMC-SW1/1

set mediatype sgmii-sfp
set speed auto

next
edit AMC-SW1/2

set mediatype sgmii-sfp
set speed auto

end

Configure the speed

You must also ensure the speed for the interface is correct for the installed
transceiver. Forcing the speed could result in link failure and disrupted service.
Fortinet recommends enabling link speed auto negotiation by setting speed to
auto.
Use the following command to configure the auto speed setting:

config system interface

edit AMC-SW1/1

set speed auto

end
