    I’m running FortiOS 5.6.7 on FG-1500D’s. We have virtual wire pairs set up for our VDOM’s that run in transparent mode, with no port channeling. One of the SFP’s is twinax (connecting to a Cisco Firepower) and the other is fiber (going into a Cisco switch). Does that cause issues, or is the Fortigate OK with media not being exactly the same on both ports?
