Config Trunk Ports between Fortigate and Fortiswitch

[KennyLi]

Hi All,

I am suffering by the trunk port crash when two trunk ports plugged between Forigate and Fortiswitch

Environment: I am using 1x Fortigate 80F, 1x Fortiswitch 124F-POE and 6x FortiAP 431F.

The cable connections are below:

a. 6x FortiAPs are connected with 124F (Port 1 - 6) with PoE enabled

b. 80F is connecting with 124F as below:

     i) Fortilink Ports: 80F dedicate Ports (a and b) connect to 124F (23 and 24 Ports)

     ii) Trunk Ports: 80F (Port 5 and 6 ) connect to 124F (21 and 22 Ports)

The trunk port configured as:

     i) MC-LAG: disabled

     ii) Mode: Static

     iii) Enabled Features: Edge Port and Spanning Tree Protocol

When I configured the trunk port and plug two cables to the port, all the port in the switch crashed, because I cannot ping the gateway in 80F as well as the FortiAP will lost the configuration and failed connect with wireless devices (no SSID showed). Only the network resumed if unplug one of the trunk ports.

I have tried but no luck:

a) Removed the Edge Port in trunk ports

b) Change to another ports as new trunk ports

c) Replace the Cat 6 cables.

Please can you help on this? 

Thanks

Ken
