Question

FortiGate 60E

I have a FortiGate 60E, brand new, V6.2.3 build1066 (GA).

 

If I plug my laptop (Mac with Gigabit network card) into interface Internal1 - it shows 1000Mbps/full duplex on the GUI and lights up green on the display nearly instantly.

 

If I plug either a Cisco or Engenius unmannaged Gigabit network switch into Internal1, it takes a few seconds to "light up", but when it does, it shows up as 100Mbps/Full Duplex and amber light. I have confirmed these switches are operating on gigabit and all devices plugged into them show 1000Mbps.

 

If I unplug the switch and plug the same laptop into the Internal1, it then shows only 100Mbps, until such time I physically reboot the FortiGate 60E. Then it goes back to 1000Mbps.

 

This issue will follow any port on the FortiGate except for WAN. My laptop always shows up 1000Mbps. Plug in gigabit switch, and the port goes to 100Mbps. Then the same laptop cannot connect on that port any faster than 100Mbps until a reboot.

 

Thoughts?

    what happens if you set the port to 1000mbps full?

     

    do you get the same issue if you disable/enable the port?

    I suggest you give up von v6.2 at the moment, and run v6.0.9. There are some issues to be sorted out, some of which pertain to MTU handling. Just a thought.

    Have you broken the internal switch into individual ports. First thing I do with new units.
