      I think i may have found something…
      after about 500 packet captures i ran a filter for the MAC address of the switch
      and i got a hit :D

      Internet Protocol, Src: 192.168.0.20 (192.168.0.20), Dst: all-systems.mcast.net (224.0.0.1)

      It's 192.168.0.20

      Now all i have to figure out the factory reset procedure :)

      If it ain't broken, fix it till it is :P

        Well that was easy :)
        The main board has a coin cell on it. i pulled it and waited 30s.
        When i went to log in just put in admin and left the password field blank and BAM im in :)

        Thanks guys..
        Now its time to put that quad 10GBe backbone at work :D

        If it ain't broken, fix it till it is :P

          So 192.168.0.20 was the default IP?
          Useful info for someone. Like you said there almost no info on those switches available.

            And…
            I'm locked out now :@

            I set a password for it and then saved the settings. Moved the switch into its rack and powerred it up.
            Went to log in and assign ports to associated Vlans and NOTHING :@

            Not very happy right now :s

            If it ain't broken, fix it till it is :P

              can you even access webgui? if not try to access straight to that device, without switch, if that helps, then you'll have to change management vlan to the ap or do the following until you have vlans up and running. You might have to put switch port to vlan1(untagged default), and this port should be towarded to AP and setup similar one to the management pc and you should be in it.

              Oh yes, for future use of finding AP's (virtual)mac-addresses ease of use tool is Ekahau Heatmapper it's free tool, but requires registration. That tool is site survey tool, but it also find's mac-addresses for you.

                The IP address is the same, but cant access the web GUI without the log in credentials and make any changes to the settings.

                So until I figure out what happened im hooped :@

                If it ain't broken, fix it till it is :P

                    Thanks…
                    But...
                    First of all...
                    My switch isnt on the list.

                    Secondly..
                    I already changed the default password and now it doesn't match up.

                    I have to get in touch with the guys at fortinet again for a hardware reset :/

                    If it ain't broken, fix it till it is :P

                          I just witnessed FortiGate 80c to be DOA or in very similar condition. I tried four different kind of RJ45-RS232 cables and two different terminal softwares and only thing which came to screen was character €.

                          Only help which i got from everybody was quota for new device.. I must admit that that i don't know how old that device was, but it was sent from that customers HQ..

                            this one is working…
                            I mean i get to the login screen where it wont let me go any further because of the password protection.

                            However...
                            I did receive a reply from the canadian fortinet rep.

                            He helped me as much as he could as its an EOL switch but i have to admit the user manual is quite impressive... Nearly 700 ( 693 to be exact ) pages !!

                              Maybe this will help you…

                              2.5 Set Up your Switch Using Console Access
                              Out-of-band management requires connecting a terminal, such as a VT-100 or a PC running a
                              terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal, which is automatically installed with
                              Microsoft Windows) to the RS-232 DCE console port of the switch. Switch management using
                              the RS-232 DCE console port is called Local Console Management to differentiate it from
                              management done via management platforms, such as DView or HP OpenView.
                              Make sure the terminal or PC you are using to make this connection is configured to match these
                              settings. If you are having problems making this connection on a PC, make sure the emulation
                              is set to VT-100 or ANSI. If you still don’t see anything, try pressing <ctrl>+ r to refresh the
                              screen.
                              First-time configuration must be carried out through a console, that is, either (a) a VT100-type
                              serial data terminal, or (b) a computer running communications software set to emulate a
                              VT100. The console must be connected to the Diagnostics port. This is an RS-232 port with a
                              9-socket D-shell connector and DCE-type wiring. Make the connection as follows:
                              1. Obtain suitable cabling for the connection.
                              You can use a null-modem RS-232 cable or an ordinary RS-232 cable and a null-modem adapter. One end
                              of the cable (or cable/adapter combination) must have a 9-pin D-shell connector suitable for the Diagnostics
                              port; the other end must have a connector suitable for the console’s serial communications port.
                              2. Power down the devices, attach the cable (or cable/adapter combination) to the correct ports, and
                              restore power.
                              3. Set the console to use the following communication parameters for your terminal:
                              . The console port is set for the following configuration:
                              . Baud rate: 115200
                              . Data width: 8 bits
                              . Parity: none
                              . Stop bits: 1
                              . Flow Control none</ctrl>

                              If it ain't broken, fix it till it is :P

                                        I bought a Switch:
                                        Fortinet WOVEN OPEN SOURCE TRX100 LB4 48-PORT GIGABIT ETHERNET SWITCH 4X CX4 10G

                                        You have the manual?

                                        Can you help me set up?

                                          I also just bought this switch, and am looking for a manual. I see you have a lot of the same ideas as I. I'm running an HP DL365 with 2 x Dual Core Opterons @ 2.6Ghz, 32GbRam, and a pair of Myricom 10GB Ethernet cards as well as the onboard 1Gb Nics for Management, and Bridging over to my Apple Network. I'm running the Astaro Internet Security Gateway as my OS on that part of the DMZ. But now that I have additional 10Gb cards in my ESX boxes, I needed a switch to connect everything up instead of going direct from 10Gb Nic to 10Gb Nic.

                                            Got this from my companies Dell rep. Apparently Dell encompases Fortinet, who Bought out Woven, and the FortiSwitch-100 is the same thing as the Woven Switch. So here's the link to the manual. Just click on the FortiSwitch-100
