Description Fortiswitch 2048F port link not coming up when connecting to Fortigate 601F (10/25G ports) and Fortiswitch 648F

Fortigate 601F ==> Fortiswitch 2048F ==> Fortiswitch 648F

 

  1. Check the phy-mode on the Fortiswitch-2048F ports to make sure 10G/25G are used on them (this is when connecting to either FortiGate or FortiSwitch).

 

FortiSwitch CLI:


config switch phy-mode
    set port1-port12-phy-mode 25G
    set port13-port24-phy-mode 1G/10G
    set port25-port36-phy-mode 25G
    set port37-port48-phy-mode 25G
end

 

  1. Disable the FEC-state when connecting FortiSwitch-2048F to FortiSwitch-648F:

 

Fortiswitch CLI:


config switch physical-port
    edit port3
        set fec-state disabled
    show
end

 

FortiGate switch-controller CLI:


config switch-controller managed-switch
    edit <FSW SN>
        config ports
            edit port3
                set fec-state disabled
            show
        end

 

Check:

 

diagnose switch physical-ports list port3

 

  1. FortiGate-601F 10G-25G ULL ports change (x5,x6,x7,x8 ports of the FortiGate-601F can either be set to 10G/25G).

 

FortiGate CLI:


config system npu
    set ull-port-mode 10G or 25G
end



FortiGate will do a reboot after this change and once it comes back, the ports of the FortiGate will either have 10G or 25G speed set on them.

After these changes, the FortiSwitch-2048F links will connect to the FortiGate-601F and FortiSwitch-648F.
