FortiSwitch Advanced Features license

What exactly does the Advanced Features license do for the FortiSwitch devices?

I know they are supposed to unlock additional features, but i can't find any documentation about what is unlocked.
Can someone shed some light on this?

Hello Simon,

regarding the data sheet it seems to be only the Dynamic Routing Protocols.

In the Admin Guide there is a note that all Dynamic L3-Routing-Protocols needs the advanced feature license and also there is a note under the following chapters:
- Router Logging
- OSPF
- RIP
- VRRP

This confirms the data sheet.

As I understand this only applies to standalone mode as in managed mode the fortigate will do the whole routing.

Kind Regards,

Kay
