Description This article describes steps to migrate config from standalone FortiSwitch to Managed FortiSwitch.
Scope

Recommended to have FortiSwitch and FortiGate on compatible versions.

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortiswitch/7.0.4/fortilink-compatibility

Solution

Migrating the configuration of standalone FortiSwitch units

 

When a configured standalone FortiSwitch unit is converted to FortiLink mode, the standalone configuration is lost.

 

To save time, use the fortilinkify.py utility to migrate the standalone configuration from one or more FortiSwitch units to a combined FortiGate-compatible configuration.

 

To get the script, refer below link:
