Topology

Select Topology to view the switch topology. The Topology page shows an overview of FortiSwitch islands connected to FortiLAN Cloud.

A FortiSwitch island contains a cluster of connected FortiSwitch units, as well as devices that are not managed by FortiLAN Cloud. Depending on whether FortiLAN Cloud can obtain valid root information from Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), each FortiSwitch island is displayed with either an LLDP-based graph or an LLDP-and-STP-based graph with tiers. The host name is displayed for FortiSwitch units; MAC addresses are displayed for non-FortiSwitch devices.

To update the topology display, select Refresh. To display networks with inter-switch links (ISLs), select Expand Tree. To find a specific FortiSwitch unit tag, click Filter By Tags and select the listed tag.

Select the Click to View Detailed Topology icon to view the detailed topology of the FortiSwitch unit.

You can enable Show STP Topology to view the STP topology.
