Hello All,
I am trying to setup a LACP connection from 2 clustered Fortigate 201F FW to two stacked Cisco 9300x24Y switches via (4) 10 Gb SFP+ direct attach data storage cables as seen below.
I have setup the routing policy, Firewall, and aggregate links on the Fortigate.
FortiGate Aggregate Config
Fortinet-201F-Primary (CORE-UPLINK) # show
config system interface
edit "CORE-UPLINK"
set vdom "root"
set ip 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
set allowaccess ping https http fgfm ftm
set type aggregate
set member "port23" "port24"
set alias "CORE-UPLINK"
set device-identification enable
set lldp-transmission enable
set role lan
set snmp-index 38
next
end
FortiGate Policy Route Config
Fortinet-201F-Primary (2) # show
config router policy
edit 2
set input-device "CORE-UPLINK"
set srcaddr "all"
set dstaddr "all"
set gateway %My WAN Address%
set output-device "port1"
next
end
FortiGate Static Route Config
Fortinet-201F-Primary (static) # edit "2"
Fortinet-201F-Primary (2) # show
config router static
edit 2
set gateway %My WAN Address%
set device "port1"
next
end
FortiGate FW Config
Fortinet-201F-Primary (4) # show
config firewall policy
edit 4
set name "CORE-UPLINK (CORE-UPLINK)"
set uuid b6785568-a736-51ed-29d0-9792de722b40
set srcintf "CORE-UPLINK"
set dstintf "LUMEN - WAN"
set action accept
set srcaddr "all"
set dstaddr "all"
set schedule "always"
set service "ALL"
set nat enable
next
end
I also configured a 4-port (two ports on each switch in the stack) layer 3 EtherChannel on the 9300x switch, however it still shows as disconnected. I have tried several different configs with the same result.

I ran through the gambit of options and still can't get the channel to connect. Can anyone shed some light into my config and see if I missed anything? My main role is sys admin so beyond managing my PFSense router this is the first time messing with Enterprise routing gear, so if I appear clueless it's because I am :).
