FortiGate/FortiSwitch VLANs
Hi Fortinet Community!
I've been researching around but figured I'd drop a quick post here to see what others think. Working on implementing FortiSwitches into an environment with an existing FortiGate. To be clear, the current switches are not FortiSwitches.
Layer 3 is handled by the FortiGate, and there are several VLAN sub interfaces on say the internal1 port. It looks like for this implementation, we will need to use FortiSwitch VLANs, which are bound to the FortiLink interface.
It seems like we will need to recreate the existing VLANs as FortiSwitch VLANs to utilize them in the WiFi & Switch Controller in the FortiGate as if we create them as-is I believe VLANs and subnets will conflict. I've found some clever ways to speed this process up by exporting a config backup, modifying the interface lines, and restoring. Either way this seems like it'll be intrusive and was hoping to see if anyone in the community had experience with an implementation such as this.
Thank you!

Edit: I said internal1 rather than specifying that it was an aggregation port. This changes everything since aggregation interfaces do not support the interface integration feature. Seems that the only other method to quickly achieve this goal would be to backup the config, modify the lines of the sub-vlan interfaces to bind them to FortiLink, and restore the configuration. My apologies for not stating this correctly. Technically, if this was not an aggregate interface, then hbac's solution would be the correct one.
