great... 

 

if the 2 switch not in Stack the aggregated will not be fine ? why 

FG understand that he has 2 port act as 1 port . and switches see the mac address of this bundle . right

Because the CPU needs to decide which physical interface to go out when it received a packet to go out to the "link".

I would suggest you read an explanation about link-aggregation or 802.3ad like below:

Link aggregation has been around probably since vr MR4 or earlier.

You didn't say what type of FGT but moats 3 digits models support it, 2 digit model typically don't 

 

i.e my FWF50 does not
