How can I setup LACP on Managed Fortiswitch

I have a FS-248D managed by a Fortigate 60E.

 

I have found many MANY examples on how to aggregate Fortilink interfaces, but I can't find a single example on how to aggregate ports on the fortiswitch.

Neither from GUI or CLI.

Actually I found some examples given when running the Fortiswitch in standalone, not managed.

 

The reason I want to do this is to support LACP (2 ports) from my linus NAS.

I had this setup on a DGS-1210-52 (might I add, the 248D is quite the upgrade!) which worked perfectly well.

 

Can someone help me?

 

Side question, does anyone see an issue trying to reuse one of the old DGS-1210 by aggregating it(using 4 ports) on the fortiswitch as well?

 

Thanks

Louis

    Sorry, I am on 5.6 on my 60E. I haven't done any switch config on 5.4, maybe it is CLI only for 5.4 which offhand I do not know.

    Go to 'FortiSwitch Ports' section on your FortiGate and click 'Create New' and then 'Trunk'

     There's no "Create New" on that page.

    The top is a search bar, then the switch is listed with all it's ports.

     

    I see that the used ports are green. All are assigned to a Native VLAN.

     

    FYI: FortiOS: v5.4.1,build5577

    FortiSwitch: v3.4-build192

     

    Thanks
