Hey everyone! Please bare with me, im not an expert with
firewalls/fortigates. Short and sweet: 1) Was forced to turn off
software switch mode because my internet downloads were maxxed out at
150mbps on a 1000mbps line. Fortigate CPU would leap to 99...
I believe you are correct and this is the missing piece that I needed. I
am testing this on a fortigate 90D. I will reload my test config
tomorrow and try to create a hardware switch and tie all those ports
together. Thank you very much for the help....
