Changing the interface type and splitting the FIM-7920E C1 to C4
interfaces
By default, the FIM-7920E C1 to C4 interfaces are configured as 100GE QSFP28 interfaces. You can use the following
command to convert them to 40GE QSFP+ interfaces. Once converted, you can use the other command below to split
them into four 10GBASE-SR interfaces.
Changing the interface type
For example, to change the interface type of the C1 interface of the FIM-7920E in slot 1 to 40GE QSFP+ connect to the
CLI of your FortiGate-7000 system using the management IP and enter the following command:
config system global
set qsfp28-40g-port 1-C1
