FortiLink mode over a layer-3 network

 

In some cases, the requirement is to bring up a FortiSwitch in FortiLink mode, but the FortiSwitch is not directly connected to the FortiGate.

There is a layer 3 network between FortiGate and FortiSwitch.

 

Read the below link before starting the configuration:

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortiswitch/7.0.8/devices-managed-by-fortios/801182/fortilink-mod…

 

Note that the layer3 FortiLink config has changed from the 7.2.x version and above.

 

Refer to the below configuration:

FortiGate v7.2.4.

FortiSwitch v7.2.3.
