Link Aggregation on FortiGate

Hello Networkers,

We released a new video lesson to our FortiGate training course for configuring Link Aggregation (LAG) between a FortiGate firewall and a switch.  Specifically a Cisco Catalyst switch. Link Aggregation involves two or more interfaces that are bundled together creating a single logical interface. It can provide increased performance (or bandwidth) of the link, but it can also provide link redundancy.

RackTables and Linkaggregations

RackTables is a very grateful tool for managing your datacenter and infrastucture. But sometimes you will miss some features and need to trick this young open source tool.

So, if you want to aggregate 2 or more physical ports of an object, you will vainly look in version 0.20.x (or before) for this possibility.

To picture your LAG (static oder dynamic Link Aggregation Group) you may note the LAG number as "Cable ID". So you will see this LAG number if you look at the port list of your server object and on the port list of your switch oder whatever you linked with as well.
