Adding an aggregated interface

1. Log into the primary FortiController GUI or CLI.
2. Go to Switch > Fabric Channel and select New Trunk.
3. Enter a Name for the aggregate interface.

4. Set the mode to LACP Passive or LACP Active.

   Do not select FortiTrunk. This option is not supported.

   Selecting LACP Passive creates an 802.3ad passive mode aggregate interface. Selecting LACP Active creates an 802.3ad Active mode aggregate interface. Static mode means the aggregate does not send or receive LACP control messages.

5. Move the FortiController front panel interfaces to add to the aggregate interface to the Selected column and select OK to add the interface. You can add up to eight interfaces.

   From the FortiController CLI:

   config switch fabric-channel trunk

   edit f1-f2

   set port-select-criteria {dst-ip | src-dst-ip | src-ip}

   set mode {static | lacp-active | lacp-passive}

   set lacp-speed {fast | slow}

   set member-withdrawl-behavior {block | forward}

   set min-links <0-8>

   set members <members>

   end

6. Log into the primary worker GUI or CLI.

7. From the GUI go to Global > Network > Interfaces.

   You should see the LACP interface that you added in the interface list. Its Type as listed on the interface page should be fctrl trunk. When you edit the interface the type is FortiController Trunk. You can configure the interface as required, adding an IP address and so on.

   Aggregate interfaces are added the root VDOM by default. You can move them to other VDOMs as required. Once in the correct VDOM, you can create policies and other configuration objects that reference the aggregate interface.
