Description
For FortiGate models with 10 GE SFP+ and GE SFP ports such as the FortiGate 3200D and FortiGate 3100D, the speed must be configured accordingly for supported SFP transceivers plugged into SFP+ ports.
Solution
Configure 'set speed 1000auto' or 'set speed 1000full' at the interface.
The testing below is performed on a FortiGate 3200D running on firmware version 5.6.
Topology
FG3K2D-1 port35 (SFP)---------1G--------(SFP) port35 FG3K2D-2
FG3K2D-1 port36 (SFP+)-------10G-------(SFP+) port36 FG3K2D-2
Test A - Using default settings at SFP+ ports
FG3K2D-1 (port35) # sh full | grep speed
set speed auto
FG3K2D-1 (port36) # sh full | grep speed
set speed auto
FG3K2D-2 (port35) # sh full | grep speed
set speed auto
FG3K2D-2 (port36) # sh full | grep speed
set speed auto
Note that speed auto is by default
Results
port35 is down, port36 is up
FG3K2D-1 (global) # get hardware nic port35
