Yes indeed. However no L3 routing will be handled by FortiGate in this case. It will just be L2/VLAN mgmt. You'll need a local L3 device.
Hi Graham,
The Customer Topology is as follows:
Branch Site WAN Head Office
FortiSwitch -> ISP Fortigate -> ISP IPSEC VPN -> ISP Fortigate -> ISFW Fortigate -> FortiSwitch
Branch Site Fortigate creates a VPN Tunnel to HeadOffice; are you saying that I'll need to assign a management ip on the Branch Site Switch and advertise in IPSEC
Read the doc. You just need the FortiLink interface to be reachable across the L3 network.
