Does FortiAnalyzer Support Link Aggregation?

citra_arifin · ‎01-24-2019

Hi Guys,

We are currently deploying a FortiAnalyzer 400E unit for our customer. There are currently two HA core switches in the environment.

Our initial design was to connect to one of core switches. Does FAZ 400E support LAG (link aggregation) to support connectivity to both core switches?

Thanks for your help!

No model of FortiAnalyzer supports link aggregation (LAG). I think FortiAnalyzer is more likely to be limited by log rate than by bandwidth. But it sounds like there could be a case for link redundancy. In FortiAnalyzer 6.0, high availability was introduced to provide redundancy (and increase performance) but of course you need two units in that case.
