Scope	FortiSwitch, FortiGate.
Solution	When possessing FortiSwitches managed by a FortiGate, it is possible to validate config sync and mac sync with the following command: exec switch-controller get-sync-status all Config sync and Mac sync are made from FortiSwitch through https, and the connection is made from FortiGate to FortiSwitch with https port (443). In this case, modify the https port on FortiSwitch 124F.
