The FortiSwitch Manager > Device & Groups pane includes both a graphical representation and a port status or faceplates view of the connected FortiSwitch devices. You can see a block-style topology view or a faceplates view similar to FortiOS for selected devices. This gives you the visibility of the managed FortiSwitch status, connection topology, and MC-LAG status among others.

Go to FortiSwitch Manager > Device & Groups and click Topology from the More menu in the toolbar to see a block-style topology representation of the connected FortiSwitch devices. Use the search box to find a specific device or filter the view, and hover over connections or ports to get more information.
