Connecting FortiGate boards to the network
By installing one or two FortiSwitch boards per chassis, you can connect FortiGate boards to the network or Internet through their base backplane interfaces.
There are several ways you can connect FortiGate boards to the network, depending on your available hardware and other goals such as hardware redundancy.
•The most basic way to connect FortiGate boards to the network through the base backplane is to connect one of the FortiSwitch front panel base or ZRE interfaces to the network.
•By installing a second FortiSwitch board per chassis, you can provide a redundant network connection.
•By connecting front panel base or ZRE interfaces of other chassis FortiSwitch boards to the front panel base or ZRE interface of the FortiSwitch board connected to the network, you can provide a shared network.
Configure FortiGate boards to communicate with the network through the base backplane interfaces as you would other interfaces.
