switch fabric-channel trunk
Use this command to create a trunk and add FortiSwitch-5003A interfaces to the trunk. You use trunks
to group FortiSwitch-5003A interfaces so that you can use 802.3ad static mode layer-2 link
aggregation to distribute sessions to the fabric interfaces of the FortiGate-5001A and 5005FA2 boards
connected to the FortiSwitch-5003A interfaces in the trunk.
For information about FortiSwitch-5003A link aggregation for FortiGate-5140 chassis, see “Fabric
channel layer-2 link aggregation” on page 33. For information about FortiSwitch-5003A link
aggregation for FortiGate-5050 chassis, see “Fabric channel layer-2 link aggregation” on page 56.
Syntax
config switch fabric-channel trunk
edit <trunk_name>
set members <interface_names>

Example
This example shows how to add slot-6, slot-7, and slot-8 to a trunk named trunk_678. This
trunk can distribute sessions to FortiGate-5001A or 5005FA2 boards in chassis slots 6, 7, and 8.
config switch fabric-channel trunk
edit trunk_678
set members slot-6 slot-8 slot-7
