Table 17: Base channel interfaces and network activity LEDs

Interface	Description
Name

B1 and B2	Front panel gigabit base channel interfaces B1 and B2.
	Use these interfaces to connect your network to the base channel, to
	connect base channel 1 to base channel 2, or to connect a base channel
	on one chassis to a base channel on another chassis.

BASE 10G	Front panel 10-gigabit base channel interface.
	Use this interface to connect a 10-gigabit network to the base channel.
	10-gigabit communication is not supported across the base channels but
	this interface is still available if you need to connect the base channel to
	a 10-gigabit network.

Fabric channel interfaces

Table 18 lists and describes the FortiSwitch-5003A fabric channel interfaces. You can configure fabric interface settings, group fabric interfaces into trunks, and configure MSTP spanning tree settings for fabric interfaces from the FortiSwitch-5003A CLI.

Table 18: Fabric channel interfaces

	Interface Name		Description

	Front Panel	CLI*
	Front Panel	CLI*

	2/1	slot-2/1	Interface between fabric channel 1 and fabric channel 2.
			If there are two FortiSwitch-5003A boards installed in a
			chassis this interface can be used to communicate between
			them. In some configurations you may have to disable this
			communication.
	3 to 13	slot-3 to	Fabric backplane slots 3 to 13.
		slot-13	The 3 to 13 fabric network activity LEDs are lit if there are
			FortiGate boards in chassis slots 3 to 13.
	14/F8	slot-14/f8	Front panel interface 14/F8.
			Fabric backplane slot 14 and front panel interface 14/F8
			share the same FortiSwitch-5003A switch port. By default the
			the front panel interface 14/F8 is enabled and fabric
			backplane slot 14 is disabled. You can change this setting
			using a switch on the FortiSwitch-5003A board.
	F1 to F7	f1 to f7	Front panel 10-gigabit fabric interfaces F1 to F7.
			Use these interfaces to connect your network to the fabric
			channel, to connect fabric channel 1 to fabric channel 2, or to
			connect a fabric channel on one chassis to a fabric channel
			on another chassis.

* You can configure settings for FortiSwitch-5003A fabric interfaces from the FortiSwitch-5003A CLI. The CLI columns show the names of the interfaces as they appear on the FortiSwitch-5003A CLI.

The fabric network activity LEDs show links and network activity for the interfaces and connections listed in Table 19.
