Technical Tip: How to configure the aggregator mode for a FortiSwitch
Description
In a LACP trunk, ports with the same negotiated speed are grouped into an aggregator.
Setting the aggregator mode allows to select the aggregator based on either the bandwidth or the number of links.
This article describes how to configure the aggregator mode for a FortiSwitch.
Scope
For version 6.4.2 and above.
