Hi!
I am testing topology where fortigate connected to switch.
Config onFortigate.
edit "LAN" set vdom "root" set allowaccess ping set type aggregate set member "port2" "port3" set role lan set snmp-index 12 set lacp-mode static
Cisco Switch
interface Ethernet0/2 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport mode trunk channel-group 1 mode active
interface Ethernet0/3 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport mode trunk channel-group 1 mode active
interface Port-channel1 switchport switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport mode trunk
Output on Cisco
Group Port-channel Protocol Ports ------+-------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------- 1 Po1(SD) LACP Et0/2(s) Et0/3(s)
Fortigate:
diagnose netlink aggregate name LAN status: up ports: 2 link-up-delay: 50ms min-links: 1 ha: backup distribution algorithm: L4 LACP mode: static
slave: port2 link status: up link failure count: 0 permanent MAC addr: 00:0c:29:4d:df:96
slave: port3 link status: up link failure count: 0 permanent MAC addr: 00:0c:29:4d:df:a0
diagnose sniffer packet LAN
5.963232 802.1Q vlan#1 P0
Any help in this case?
have you tested lacp mode active ?
Even thought I set the command to active it doesnt show up so that means by default its active. which was like this when I started it and then I found in the doc to use passive. Still does work. I created another LACP with another switch and that does work so something wrong on Fortigate.

what type of cisco switch do you have?
make sure you not using a 10gig only interface on cisco if you not have a fortigate with 10gig interface.
have you tested: set lacp-speed slow ?
cisco
config t
int range gi 0/2-3
shut
no shut
int port 1
shut
no shut
end
show lacp system-identifier
show lacp inter gi 0/2-3
show port summary
The ports are in a s state
