To enable fabric backplane data communication from the FortiGate-5001A
CLI
From the FortiGate-5001A board CLI you can use the following steps to enable
fabric backplane data communication.
1 Enter the following command to show the backplane interfaces:
config system global
set show-backplane-intf enable
end
The fabric1 and fabric2 backplane interfaces now appear in all Interface lists. You
can now configure the fabric backplane interfaces and add routes, firewall policies
and other configuration settings using these interfaces.
To enable sending heartbeat packets to the FortiSwitch-5003A
Use the following command to enable sending heartbeat packets from the
FortiGate-5001A fabric interfaces. A FortiSwitch-5003A board receives the
heartbeat packets to verify that the FortiGate-5001A board is still active.
The FortiGate-5001A board sends 10 packets per second from each fabric
interface. The packets are type 255 bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) packets.
1 Enter the following command to enable sending heartbeat packets:
config system global
set fortiswitch-heartbeat enable
end
