Quick Configuration Guide

If you are using the FortiSwitch-5003A system for link aggregation or just to pass
VLANs you need to use the config switch fabric-channel command. This

command has 4 keywords:

• interface to add VLANs to interfaces and other settings
• physical-port to enable listening for heartbeats from FortiGate-5000 units

on the fabric channel and to configure interfaces to be up or down

• stp to configure MTSP
• trunk to aggregate FortiSwitch-5003A fabric interfaces
See

“Layer-2 link aggregation and redundancy configurations” on page 12

for

some examples of using these commands. See also the

FortiGate-5000

Backplane Guide

for a complete FortiSwitch-5003A CLI reference as well as

example FortiSwitch-5003A configurations.
