How can I setup LACP on Managed Fortiswitch

[lletourn]

I have a FS-248D managed by a Fortigate 60E.

I have found many MANY examples on how to aggregate Fortilink interfaces, but I can't find a single example on how to aggregate ports on the fortiswitch.

Neither from GUI or CLI.

Actually I found some examples given when running the Fortiswitch in standalone, not managed.

The reason I want to do this is to support LACP (2 ports) from my linus NAS.

I had this setup on a DGS-1210-52 (might I add, the 248D is quite the upgrade!) which worked perfectly well.

Can someone help me?

Side question, does anyone see an issue trying to reuse one of the old DGS-1210 by aggregating it(using 4 ports) on the fortiswitch as well?

Thanks

Louis

Go to 'FortiSwitch Ports' section on your FortiGate and click 'Create New' and then 'Trunk'

 There's no "Create New" on that page.

The top is a search bar, then the switch is listed with all it's ports.

I see that the used ports are green. All are assigned to a Native VLAN.

FYI: FortiOS: v5.4.1,build5577

FortiSwitch: v3.4-build192

Thanks

I just upgraded both the fortigate (5.4.5) and fortiswitch (3.5.5) thinking that must be it (there were quite a few items on aggregation and LAG in the Fortiswitch release notes.

But the option is still not there.

Sorry, I am on 5.6 on my 60E. I haven't done any switch config on 5.4, maybe it is CLI only for 5.4 which offhand I do not know.

It worked from the CLI on 5.4.5, but from the GUI you are right, I needed to update to 5.6 which solved it too.

Thx
