Description

 

This article will show how to correctly design the LACP bundling to FortiGate HA active-passive.

 

Scope

 

FortiGate HA.

 

Solution

 

In order to bundle the LACP interface facing to FortiGate HA active-passive, it is necessary to understand that the secondary FortiGate is in standby mode, hence will not respond to any traffic, while the stacked switch, on the other hand, is both devices active at the same time.
