Number of Tier supported - MC-LAG
Hi the community,
I'm starting to deploy a lot of Fortiswitch for a new project.
All switches will be managed by FGT 1000F.
Tier-1 is composed by 2 FS-1048E (MC-LAG ICL between them).
Tier-2 is composed by 2 FS-548D (MC-LAG ICL between them).
Tier-3 is composed by sometimes FS448 chained using STP, sometimes with FS448 with MC-LAG ICL, ...
All is working as desired in Tier-1 and Tier-2.
But impossible to have communication on a device connected on a switch in tier-3. If i configure these switch to Tier-1, communication works good.
All switches are running 7.2.3.
Is there some limitations on the number of MC-LAG i can configure in the design ?
Regards,
Simon

Hello Simon,
I have found this reddit discussion:
https://www.reddit.com/r/fortinet/comments/w4afd5/mclag_of_3_or_more_fortiswitches/
and this docs document:
Could you please tell me if it answers your question?

Hi Anthony,
Unfortunately, this discussion doesn't answer my question.
The fact here is that a switch in Tier-4 is well recognized and visible in the Fortigate, but communication on its ports doesn't work.
If i plug this switch in Tier-2, all is working fine...
I attach a printscreen of my deployment.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Simon

Basically the tier will not block the communication on the ports. Maybe there is something in the configurations of the 40GB ports. Did you try with normal (non Q) ports?
If you have found a solution, please like and accept it to make it easily accessible for others.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this issue you were having? I am designing a network which will pretty much replicate what you have here but with 448E switches but I've never created 4 tier FortiLink solution. Maximum I have done is 3 so am hoping there is not a limit?
