In a FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis, FortiGate-5005FA2 base
backplane communication requires one or two FortiSwitch-5003 modules.
A FortiSwitch-5003 module installed in chassis slot 1 provides communication on
the base1 interface. A FortiSwitch-5003 module installed in chassis slot 2
provides communication on the base2 interface. The FortiGate-5020 chassis
supports base backplane data communication for both interfaces with no
additions or changes to the chassis.
For details and configuration examples of FortiGate-5005FA2 base backplane
communication using the FortiSwitch-5003 module, see the
Backplane Communication
