Multiple FortiSwitches in tiers via aggregate interface with MCLAG enabled on all tiers This example provides a recommended configuration of FortiLink where multi-tier FortiSwitch devices are managed by an A-P mode HA cluster of FortiGates acting as a switch controller via an aggregate interface. The FortiGates provide AA links to […]
Multiple FortiSwitches in tiers via aggregate interface with MCLAG enabled only on distribution This example provides a recommended configuration of FortiLink where multi-tier FortiSwitches are managed by an A-P mode HA cluster of FortiGates as switch controller via aggregate interface, where FortiGates provide active-active links to two distribution FortiSwitches connected […]
Multiple FortiSwitches in tiers via aggregate interface with redundant link enabled This example provides a recommended configuration of FortiLink where multi-tier FortiSwitches are managed by an A-P mode HA cluster of FortiGates as switch controller via aggregate interface, where each FortiGate cluster member can provide redundant links to multiple (>=2) […]
Multiple FortiSwitches managed via hardware/software switch This example provides a recommended configuration of FortiLink where multiple FortiSwitches are managed by an A-P mode HA cluster of FortiGates as switch controller via hardware or software switch interface. An example of common usage is when you need multiple distribution FortiSwitches but lack […]
Multiple FortiSwitches in tiers via aggregate interface with MCLAG enabled only on distribution This example provides a recommended configuration of FortiLink where multi-tier FortiSwitches are managed by a standalone FortiGate as switch controller via aggregate interface, where the FortiGate can provide active-active links to two distribution FortiSwitches connected to each […]
Multiple FortiSwitches in tiers via aggregate interface with redundant link enabled This example provides a recommended configuration of FortiLink where multi-tier FortiSwitches are managed by a standalone FortiGate as switch controller via aggregate interface, where the FortiGate can provide redundant links to multiple distribution FortiSwitches. Prerequisites: The FortiGate model supports […]
Multiple FortiSwitches managed via hardware/software switch This example provides a recommended configuration of FortiLink where multiple FortiSwitches are managed by a standalone FortiGate as switch controller via hardware or software switch interface; such as when you need multiple distribution FortiSwitches but lack supporting aggregate on FortiGate. Prerequisites: The FortiGate model […]
Standalone FortiGate as switch controller In this example, one FortiSwitch is managed by a standalone FortiGate. The FortiGate uses an aggregate interface to operate as a switch controller. This configuration might be used in branch office. It might also be used before increasing the number of connected FortiSwitch units and […]
