Connection Between Fortigate, FortiSwitch and Cisco Switch

 If i connect Fortigate firewall and Cisco Switch and then a fortiSwitch  is connected to  the Cisco Switch, in this case will the fortiswitch work?
in my case FortiSwitch device is detected in Fortilink interface  but fortiSwitch remains offline?

Hello Bibek, Good day!

Yes. You can still add the FortiSwitch as long as you have Security-Fabric enabled for Admin access on the VLAN interface where you have the FortiSwitch connected through the Cisco Switch.


Thank you!

Best regards,

You can review this article. This article can solve your problem.

 

And also for fortilink uses vlan4094 on native status. If you can set it to pass the 4094 VLAN on the Cisco switch, this may solve your problem.
