Hello - does the FortiGate 121G support "hardware switch"? I searched around and found this tip, but, the 100G series is in neither of the supported, or not supported lists:
Compatibilities of Hardware Switch with F... - Fortinet Community
(Edit to add, I submitted feedback on that link to request the 100G series be added; here's hoping they add it for clarity)

Hello @RickCogley ,
I think 121G has a hardware switch feature. When I reviewed the architecture guide I saw this sentence,
The SOC5 ISF also allows you to use the command config system virtual-switch to create a virtual hardware switch that can include any front panel interface connected to the SOC5.
Because of that, in my opinion, 121G supports the hardware switch feature.

Most likely it's been configured as VLAN switch by default like most of F-series models. Those F-series(NP6Xlite) models have the same mentioning about "config system virtual-switch" in the same hard acceleration doc.

it would appear so, thank you. There's an overwhelming amount of info!
