will it work?

BiDi is usually compatible with Cisco equipment and not other vendors.

Dear Reza
I have cisco device i want to connect to Fortinet device (FN-TRAN-QSFP28-BIDI), which SFP can work (QSFP-40/100-SRBD) or (QSFP-100G-SR1.2 )?
Thanks

Hi,
Have a look at the compatibility matrix. I see QSFP-100G-SR1.2 listed for the different types of 9300 models.

so (QSFP-40/100-SRBD) is the best choice to work with (FN-TRAN-QSFP28-BIDI) Ok?

I would use "QSFP-100G-SR1.2" on the Cisco side since this is a standard optic and use FN-TRAN-QSFP28-BIDI on the Fortinet switch.

Have a look at the table in this link:
it appears you can use either one.

QSFP-100G-SR1.2 |

yes, both QSFP-40/100-SRBD & QSFP-100G-SR1.2 are standard now

Yes, each Cisco QSFP 40/100-Gbps BiDi transceiver consists of two transmit and receive channels in the 832-918 nanometer wavelength range, enabling an aggregated 40 or 100-Gbps link over a two-strand multimode fiber connection. According FN-TRAN-QSFP28-BIDI's datasheet it'll work in link lengths of 100 and 150 meters on laser-optimized OM3 and OM4 multimode fibers, respectively.
