Question

Configuration FortiLink across non-Fortiswitch

I want to configure Fortiswitch with FortiLink protocol over my actual infractructure. In that situation I have various non-Fortiswich (Cisco, HP,...) but I need configure a FortiLink protocol and I dont find information about the situation.

In all manual I can to see the configuration connecting the Fortiswitch directly to Fortigate, but I dont find any manual to connect the Fortiswitch across the other model of switches.

 

Do you help me?

You can manage the FortSwitches via FortiLink over IP protocol, it doesn't matter about the interconnecting L2 infrastructure as FortiSwitch management is done on L3 https://docs.fortinet.com...manageFSWfromFGT54.pdf

Thank for the reply!

 

I'm looking at Fortinet documents but I don't see how to connect over IP, always use Fortilink over Fortiswitch. My network scheme is,

 

Fortigate <--> switch(HP/cisco/...) <--> Fortiswitch

 

and I don't understand how I can connect over IP in this situation.
