Description | This article describes how to recover the synchronization configuration from a FortiSwitch showing the 2E flag constantly. |
Scope | FortiSwitch v7.4.2 and earlier versions. |
Solution |
When a network disruption or NTP communication has been lost, the E flag sometimes persists in FortiSwitch devices, preventing them from synchronizing configuration with FortiGate:
execute switch-controller get-conn-status
To fix this issue, clear the E state:
config switch-controller lldp-settings set device-detection disable end
Re-enabling device-detection will allow all switches to enter the sync state:
config switch-controller lldp-settings set device-detection enable end
This issue is resolved in FortiSwitch v7.4.3 and above. Consider upgrading FortiSwitch. |
