Really sorry about the late answer. In case you havent found out already i would guide you to the release notes. Mostly it is not necessary to follow an upgrade patch for FSW but just in case, read the release notes.
what if i had a +3 AGG Switches? where should i configure the ICL link? and would it be necessary to have more than one link? one link for ICL and the rest auto-isl ?
Hi, sorry about the late answer. You can only have 2 switches in a MCLAG-pair. The ICL should always be redundant in a production environment in case of an optic failure. And of course it is also possible to dual-connect each member in a MCLAG-pair upstreams or downstreams.
@@fortifred many thanks i have implemented the environment for a two high available Core Switche in MC-LAG with 48 Access Switch all together within the fortilink central management Thanks again for your reply
@@fortifred At first thank you for your excellent video. Do you have an idea why this network topology didn't made it into the FortiSwitch documentation? What I really like is the low amount of ports needed to setup this network - especially if using 10 GB/s ports for upstream / icl. While FortiSwitch models only have 4x 10 GB/s ports, this is relevant when trying to connect also two servers to the Core-Switches with 10 GB/s.
Thanks for the tip !
Thanks for the video. Is there also an upgrade order when you want to upgrade FortiSwitchOS?

@@fortifred Thanks, and no problem. The release notes are sometimes a bit vague about this.
@@DannyMaas Check the compatibility list in the support portal. Some versions aren't happy when you mix them.
This was fantastic! Thanks
Hello, do you know if there is any FortiSwitch VM publicly available. I know about fortigate VM but I wanted to make a full lab and test this.
This seems like a great video, unfortunately it has no sound. Tried 3 browsers and 2 systems.
There is no sound. Text in video explains.
