I normally use Cisco switches in my branch office deployment with Fortigate 60Fs. Have now got a few FS-148F and strugling to set this up how I want.
I normally have a trunk on Cisco switch to Firewall and then set my Vlan Gateways on the firewall.
Have managed to get the Fortiswitch connected and authorised via the fortilink port. Then created a Vlan under fortilink port. When you create a vlan under the fortilink port, is that then created on the switch or the firewall. This is somehow confusing me!
Just basically looking to have a trunk port between the 2 and create vlans that i can firewall.
Any pointers would be great.
Cheers

Hello blake09,
I m coming back to first, ask you under which versions your FortiSwitches are running?

Dear @blake09
Hope you are doing well.
Normally for a managed fortiswitch, when any vlan is created under "Fortiswitch vlan" section, it will get pushed to the switch.
In managed Fortiswitch scenario , the switches act as layer-2 , while the gateway ( IP address) will reside on the Fortigate.
Once a vlan is created, it can be mapped to ports in "Fortiswitch ports" inside "Wifi Switch and controller" section in Fortigate.
Please refer the below article for creating vlans :
