I'm new to fortiswitch stacking and just looking fort some clarity around the redundancy of the cabling .
If we have a pair of 448E switch in our Distribution layer (configuration of MCLAG) and I then want to connect 4 access layer switches (148F Series) - How would I stack these / Cable them?
would this be correct?
Do the 4 access layer switch need to daisy chained + switch 1 and 4 connect to disti layer?
All of the design documentation says this is best practice, and I agree. From my perspective, it's simply adding a loop for redundancy that is managed by spanning tree protocol. I don't believe it's any Fortinet special sauce. Tested it and works as expected.
