Fortigate to Cisco Switch issue

When connecting the Fortigate to the Cisco switch, I noticed that the LAG port on the Fortigate is consistently down.Do you know how to resolve this issue? Thank you.

Below are the Fortigate details

Hi,

Can you run on the switch side, 

show etherchannel 1 port-channel

here is the information:
show etherchannel 1 port-channel
Port-channels in the group:
---------------------------

Port-channel: Po1 (Primary Aggregator)

------------

Age of the Port-channel = 0d:06h:24m:18s
Logical slot/port = 5/1 Number of ports = 0
HotStandBy port = null
Port state = Port-channel Ag-Not-Inuse
Protocol = LACP
Port security = Disabled

I would of expected to see Eth1/0/23 and /24 in that output...

Can you try deleting the fortilink LAG created by default on the FGT and see if it changes status ?

I can see that jumbo mtu is configured on the Cisco side on port Gi1/0/24. Can you confirm that it also the case for Gi1/0/23 and for port5 and port6 on the FortiGate side ?

You can check on the FGT side with, diag netlink interface list <NIC name>
