FortiSwitch MCLAG vs third-party

[Mikerdz09]

Hello,
I have a question about LACP or MCLAG.
In FortiSwitch managed via Fortilink, can an MCLAG or LACP connection be made vs. third-party switches?

Reviewing the documentation, I only find examples with FSWs in standalone mode.

In FortiSwitch environments managed via FortiLink, you can indeed use LACP with third-party switches. However, MCLAG is primarily designed for FortiSwitches and may not work seamlessly with third-party devices due to compatibility issues. For best results, it's recommended to stick with LACP for integration with other vendors, ensuring that both switches are configured correctly to adhere to the necessary standards. If you're considering using MCLAG, check the documentation of the third party switches to confirm compatibility.
