The FortiGate-5060 fabric backplane is a triply-replicated 6-slot mesh resulting in
connections after the slot-6 interface being mapped to slot-7 and up as shown in

*Current FortiSwitch-5003B series boards do not support the secondary and tertiary
connections.
If a FortiGate-5060 chassis contains two FortiSwitch-5003B boards, connections
between them can occur using slot-7, slot-12, and may occur using slot-1/2 if this
interface is activated. These connections between the FortiSwitch-5003B boards in the
same chassis have the potential to cause looping. However, by default the
FortiSwitch-5003B board has MSTP enabled on all interfaces which prevents looping.
In some configurations you may need to disable MSTP. Before disabling MSTP you
should disable the slot-7, slot-12 and slot-1/2 interfaces.
