Hello,
I wanted to replace our existing Aruba Core Switch with a FortiSwitch 148F.
Currently the Aruba is connected to my Fortigate 100F via an LACP with different VLANS , the VLAN 1 is currently used by the network. Here's the screenshot of the existing conf with the Aruba switch connected to port1 and port2
I've tried to create a software switch with the Fortilink interface and the LACP but i can't use the LACP for the hd switch.
So i attached the Fortiswitch to the Fortilink in order to preconfigure it but i can't create the same VLANS/Subnet on the Fortilink and the fortigate says that they are already used in the LACP.
So i would like to know how to migrate this, i can't attach the fortiswitch directly to the LACP becouse it is a production environment and i have to minimize downtimes so i wanted to attach the Fortiswitch to the Fortlink, then preconfigure the Switch AND the Fortilink with the existing VLANS (but i can't create those networks...) and then just switch the cables from the LACP to the Fortilink.
Attaching the fortiswitch on the fortilink has created a lot of vlans that i don't really use
I'm doing configurations from a SSL VPN, and when i've attached the switch for the first time i saw that the switch went online with a DHCP IP, but even after creating policy from SSLVPN>Fortilink i couldn't access the switch gui, from the fortigate gui it's a mess to understand .
Can you help me figure out how to do it?
The documentation is not clear.
Thanks

So this is 2 questions right?
1) How can i pre-config my switch, because it's not letting me preconfig the switch without the switch existing in the fortilink
2) Why can I not jumpbox from my FGT to my FSW
Is this right?
The questions are:
thanks
When the Fortilink is formed the VLANs (of the trunk) are managed through WiFi & Switch Controller (some VLANs are preconfigured and can be deleted).
The existing VLANs that are created under the LACP link with Aruba SW are just sub interfaces and should not prevent using the same VLAN ID on the switch controller configuration (fortilink):
