Example configuration for the FortiSwitch-5003A board in slot 1

The FortiSwitch-5003A board in slot 1 requires the following configuration
settings:

1

Disable communication between the FortiSwitch-5003A boards:

config switch fabric-channel physical-port

edit slot-2/1

set status down

end

2

Create an MSTP configuration that includes the same name and revision as was
added to the external switch. For example, if the name is tree_1 and the revision

is 1:

config switch fabric-channel stp settings

set name "tree_1"
set revision 1

end
