Fabric gigabit switching within a chassis FortiGate-5140 fabric backplane communication
Figure 10: FortiGate-5140 fabric channel 1 and 2 data communication
For the FortiGate boards to use the fabric channels 1 and 2 for data
communication you must show backplane interfaces on the FortiGate web-based
manager and then configure firewall polices and routing for the fabric1 and fabric2
interfaces.
If the data traffic contains VLAN-tagged packets, you must add the VLAN tags to
the FortiSwitch-5003A interfaces that will handle the VLAN-tagged traffic. For
example, to allow VLAN tag 400 on slots 4 and 12 from the FortiSwitch-5003A CLI
enter:
config switch fabric-channel interface
edit "slot-4"
set allowed-vlans 1,400
next
edit "slot-12"
set allowed-vlans 1,400
end
