Can fortilink use a normal L3 port

[vishal1]

Hello All,

Purchased an Fortigate 201 F, where i need to use 2x 10 GE SFP+ fortilink Slots as normal L3 port and further add it into portchannel. Is it possible.

Hi Vishal

I didn't test it before but this should help.

Edit: It seems I misunderstood your question.

I searched internally and there are customer that are using the X3/X4 ports of a FGT 200F to successfully build a normal LAG with other network devices.

[vishal1]

means i can assign an ip address fortilink ports and then bundle and connect to any non fortigate switch/router

[ebilcari]

Yes, the ports can be removed from the Fortilink interface and than they will appear as standalone physical interfaces.

post removing ports from fortilink can we delete fortilink

No need to remove it. You may need it another day so you will just add some other interfaces to it.
