Version Description of changes

01-30000-85717-20081128 Re-written to include the FortiSwitch-5003A board, more
information about both FortiSwitch boards, fabric
backplane functionality and the FortiSwitch-5003A CLI

Note: The FortiSwitch-5003A board does not support Link
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). LACP is also called
802.3ad dynamic mode layer-2 link aggregation.

board supports link aggregation and LACP. The
FortiSwitch-5003A board supports 802.3ad static mode
link aggregation not LACP (which is also called dynamic
link aggregation). See “Fabric channel layer-2 link
aggregation” on page 33.
