Failed switch

[Staphisco]

Hi community 

I’m configuring Fortinet 60F with 2 switches (48 ports each). The idea is to create a failed over if switch A fails Switch B takes over.  Can someone please offer guidance on how to configure it?  This is for office network configuration. 

thank you

Hi @Staphisco 

I believe your switches support link aggregation, here is what you need to do to achieve failover scenario:
Sw1 > port 1 in FGT
Sw2 > port 2 in FGT

Active Active mode:
- Create LACP and add both port 1 and 2 
- Enable LACP on both switches
- Enable health check on FortiGate 

Config sample
config system interface
edit "LAG1"
set vdom "root"
set type aggregate
set member "port1" "port2"
set lacp-mode active
set lacp-ha-slave enable
next
end
