FortiSwitch-5003A configurations

FortiSwitch-5003A system

Layer-2 link aggregation and redundancy configurations

The FortiSwitch-5003A board supports 802.3ad static mode layer-2 link aggregation, 802.1q VLANs, and 802.1s Multi-Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) for the fabric channels. You can use these features to configure link aggregation and support redundant FortiSwitch-5003A configurations to distribute traffic to multiple FortiGate-5001A or 5005FA2 boards.

Figure 26 shows a basic link aggregation configuration using a single FortiSwitch-5003A board. In this configuration the external switch is connected to FortiSwitch-5003A front panel f5 interface. The switch adds VLAN tags to traffic from the internal and external networks.
