Great video man. Just some feedback, your transition effect is a bit full on (distracting). Picking up my first 224E if a few days. Looking forward to having a play and compare to Juniper and Cisco I normally play with. Look forward to seeing more of your videos.
I just don't understand why you connected it directly to the Fortigate. Couldn't you use the Switch as a distributor in this case? So as not to use several ports on the firewall?
Hello. Great presentation. I have a question tho...what problems could be if no matter what i do, the Fortigate shows the switches Offline instead of Online?
In this video, those connections are FortiSwitch to FortiSwitch. The allowed vlans are auto-magically carried around via Fortinet's protocols. There is no need to set them in that scenario. If you were needing to set allowed vlans to a non-fortiswitch, you would create a trunk port and set allowed vlans. That is not included in this video.
I have a question about "managed". If I have a firewall that is running in transparency mode, could I use "managed switch" (not "standalone switch") to manage my ForiSwitch?
Nobody. Quite the opposite. If you had read the comments, you'd see that plenty of people have criticized it. I've moved away from using it and furthermore, have a professional editor now.
It's really helpful, hopefully you'll have a full course for the Fortinet switches. Cheers!

Thanks for letting us know. We've had several comments like that so our newer videos don't use that transition anymore. Good luck with your new unit!

Connecting your switch stack directly is kind of how it's built
Thanks for posting.
You're welcome!
could you explain the internet Switch(fs-108e)? i want to know it
It's an integrated switch from fortinet

That sounds like a support question. Maybe a gui bug
I’ve not played with v7 yet so thanks very much for this video. It doesn’t look too different to 6.4 from a managed switch perspective. 🔧👍🏻
Not much different but it's always good to cover the fundamentals. 🤙
can you set allowed VLANs on the fortlink interface ? in your example SW1 port 24 and SW2 port 7 ? I didn't see the option.

It's best if your firewall is operating at layer 3
Does 7.2.0 have this feature stripped? EDIT: Found the answer, you have to enable it via CLI.
Glad you found it
I hate hate hate the fade you are to switch scenes.
I've heard that and since stopped using it. Thanks for letting me know! Feedback like that is very helpful.
who told you this transition is cool?
Nobody. Quite the opposite. If you had read the comments, you'd see that plenty of people have criticized it. I've moved away from using it and furthermore, have a professional editor now.
Please stop using that video transition. It is making a headache for me.
We did
