Hi,

Is it possible to aggregate the A and B interfaces on this model ? They are dedicated to one asic each..

    Hi, No you can’t! Ports are on different ASIC. To aggregate 10Gbps, you have to use Fortigates 600D (only one ASIC) or 1200E (ISF is available). https://help.fortinet.com...n-52/np6-fgt-1000D.htm I forgot to tell: I tested myself on fortigate 900D, it’s the same architecture. Regards,

    As far I remember, you can do it, but, you don't know where your traffic will pass through.

     

    Speed doesn't seem to be a requierment: 

    https://help.fortinet.com/fos60hlp/60/Content/FortiOS/fortigate-networking/Interfaces/Aggregate%20Interfaces.htm

     

    This in not something I recommand anyway. It's better to support 8x1Gbps aggregated than 1x10Gbps and 1x1Gbps. 

     

    Regards.
