Description This article describes details about port combination link aggregation group (LAG) support for FortiGate-600F and 601F hardware platforms.
Scope Any supported version of FortiGate.
Solution

Both the FortiGate-600F and 601F platforms support combining ultra-low latency (ULL) ports (X5 to X8) and non-ULL ports (X1 to X4) as members in the same LAG. ULL ports (X5 to X8) are directly connected to NP7, while non-ULL ports (X1 to X4) are connected to NP7 through ISF.

 

Note:

If the device has multiple NP7 chips, all Ports defined in the LAG need to connect to the same NP7 chip: FortiGate NP7 architectures.

 

See the diagram below for the locations of these ports:

This diagram is based on the one available from the hardware acceleration fast path architecture section of the documentation: FortiGate 600F and 601F fast path architecture.

 

Note:

The above setup is also valid for the FortiGate-400F, 401F, 900G, and 901G hardware platforms.
