Example configuration for the FortiSwitch-5003A board in slot 2
The FortiSwitch-5003A board in slot 2 requires the same configuration settings as
the FortiSwitch-5003A board in slot 1 except that the priority values of both
spanning tree instances is set higher for the FortiSwitch-5003A board in slot 2:
config switch fabric-channel stp instance
edit 3
set priority 40960
set vlan-range 103-104
next
edit 5
set priority 40960
set vlan-range 105-106
end
