Inter-VLAN Routing Offload Support & Design

I'd like to take advantage of this new feature (routing offload) on a pair of 1000-series switches. I'm following the commands listed in the article below, but one of the commands is missing entirely. Its the "set switch-controller-offload-ip <IP_address>" command. Has anyone tried this yet? Is it possible this feature requires the "Advanced Features" license for FortiSwitch?

 

Running FortiOS 7.4.2.

Support inter-VLAN routing by managed FortiSwitch units 7.4.1

Based on Documentation,  

By default, switch-controller-offload and switch-controller-offload-gw are disabled.

The switch-controller-offload-ip option is available only when switch-controller-offload is enabled.

 

Hope you have verified this

Yes, I believe I read the same doc you did. I'll be working on it today & will try again. I'm curious if this is due to NOT having the Advanced Features license on the FortiSwitches. That license is necessary for any dynamic routing protocols, including VRRP.

I have a question about set switch-controller-offload-gw enable on VLAN setup. Does this setting require for every other VLANs that need to route to FortiGate or do we only enable for one VLAN?

 

 

config system interface

edit <VLAN_name>

set ip <IP_address_netmask>

set switch-controller-offload {enable | disable}

set switch-controller-offload-ip <IP_address>

set switch-controller-offload-gw {enable | disable}

next

end
