I have a medium-sized business client, and we are planning to set up the network as described above using two FortiGate firewalls and two non-Fortinet switches. Each FortiGate will connect to both switches as follows:

• FortiGate A – Port 1 → Switch A – Port 24
• FortiGate A – Port 2 → Switch B – Port 24
• FortiGate B – Port 1 → Switch B – Port 23
• FortiGate B – Port 2 → Switch A – Port 23
• The switches are also interconnected to provide STP stability

The part of this design I’m concerned about is the configuration of FortiGate Ports 1 and 2. My understanding is that I may need to configure them as redundant interfaces:

• FortiGate A – Ports 1 & 2 configured as a redundant interface
• FortiGate B – Ports 1 & 2 configured as a redundant interface

If anyone has suggestions or comments regarding this design or configuration, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.
