Aggregate interfaces, Fortigate 1000D

[vinceneil666]

Hi,

Is it possible to aggregate the A and B interfaces on this model ? They are dedicated to one asic each..

Hi, No you can’t! Ports are on different ASIC. To aggregate 10Gbps, you have to use Fortigates 600D (only one ASIC) or 1200E (ISF is available). https://help.fortinet.com...n-52/np6-fgt-1000D.htm I forgot to tell: I tested myself on fortigate 900D, it’s the same architecture. Regards,

Tnx! - how is it for me to bundle a mix of 10G and 1G interfaces.. that should work fine ?

As far I remember, you can do it, but, you don't know where your traffic will pass through.

Speed doesn't seem to be a requierment:

This in not something I recommand anyway. It's better to support 8x1Gbps aggregated than 1x10Gbps and 1x1Gbps. 

Regards.

I highly doubt you can aggregate 1+10gigs interfaces. For the FGT you have to read the  requirements of the ISF
