Enterprise FortiSwitch secure access

Enterprise FortiSwitch secure access

This cookbook article documents a highly resilient 2-tier FortiSwitch architecture (faster convergence) that take advantage of the full performance (bandwidth utilization) offered by MCLAG (multichassis LAG).

The FortiGates, for the exercise, are under FortiOS 6.0.1 and FortiSwitch at 6.0 or 3.6.6 (depending on platform compatibility). FortiSwitch must be at least at 3.6.4 in order to deploy MCLAG with access ring.

Also ensure that the FortiSwitch models used for MCLAG supports the feature: FortiSwitch Datasheet

In the end, the topology above will be deployed.
