GS724T - can't get VLANs to work over LAG connected to Fortigate
Greetings,
I have a GS724Tv4 that I can't get VLANs to work for using a LAG interface to a Fortigate firewall and am looking for assistance.
- The GS724T has ports 23-24 configured as LACP and the Fortigate has ports 2-3 configured as an 802.3ad aggregate.
- I have two ethernet cables connecting ports 23-24 of the switch to ports 2-3 on the Fortigate.
- The LAG interface on the GS724T shows that the link is up.
- I have a VLAN-204 with DHCP running on the Fortigate LAG at 192.168.2.65.
- I have a VLAN-204 set up on the switch with ports 7-9 marked as untagged members and the LAG marked as a tagged member.
- I have a PC plugged into port 9 with an IP address of 192.168.2.67 but I cannot ping the Fortigate 192.168.2.65 address.
It appears that the switch is not passing traffic from port 9 to the LAG interface.
I see nothing wrong with the configuration and have reviewed the manual several times.
Can anyone give me any ideas of what I may have missed or how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks

Have the PVID set to 204 for the ports you intend to use untagged access ports?

That was the issue. I had not set the PVID for the untagged ports. It is working now.
Thanks!
