Why each option
When a FortiGate interface's role is set to Undefined, it does not restrict the available configuration options, making all settings accessible in the GUI.
The 'Undefined' role for a FortiGate interface provides the most flexibility, allowing administrators to configure all available settings for the interface, including IP addressing, administrative access, and participation in various network services without predetermined role-based restrictions. This role doesn't impose any limitations on the interface's configuration capabilities through the GUI.
An 'Undefined' interface can be configured with a static IP address; it is not restricted to DHCP.
Firewall policies can be created between any interfaces, not exclusively from an 'Undefined' port1 to any interface.
The 'Undefined' role does not reserve the interface for management only; it can be used for any purpose.
