Question

Extending Fortiswitch VLANs to phyiscal ports on Fortigate

Background: we've run out of 10gb ports on our switches and need to use on one the Fortigates.

Was wondering if it's possible to bridge an existing Fortiswitch VLAN to one of the physical ports on the Fortigate.

That way we can take advantage of the extra ports on the Fortigate.

Yes this is possible, but how you do it depends on whether your FortiSwitch is managed by the FortiGate (FortiLink mode) or operating standalone.

Since you mentioned bridging an existing FortiSwitch VLAN to a FortiGate physical port.
