A FortiSwitch-5003B board in hub/switch slot 1 provides communications on fabric
channel 1 and base channel 1. A FortiSwitch-5003B board in hub/switch slot 2 provides
communications on fabric channel 2 and base channel 2. If your chassis includes one
FortiSwitch-5003B board you can install it in hub/switch slot 1 or 2 and configure the
FortiGate-5000 boards installed in the chassis to use the correct fabric and base
backplane interfaces.
For a complete 10-gigabit fabric backplane solution you must install FortiGate-5000
hardware that supports 10-gigabit connections. For example:
• FortiGate-5001B boards include 10-gigabit fabric backplane interfaces. You can
install the FortiGate-5001B boards in chassis slots 3 and up.
• FortiGate-5001A boards must be combined with FortiGate-RTM-XB2 or FortiGate-
RTM-XD2 modules to support 10-gigabit fabric interfaces. You can install the
FortiGate-5001A boards in chassis slots 3 and up and FortiGate-RTM-XB2 or
FortiGate-RTM-XD2 modules in the corresponding RTM slots on the back of the
chassis.
The FortiSwitch-5003B board includes the following features:
• One 1-gigabit base backplane channel for layer-2 base backplane switching between
FortiGate-5000 series boards installed in the same chassis as the FortiSwitch-5003B
board. The base backplane channel includes 13 1-gigabit connections to up to 13
other slots in the chassis (Slots 2 to 14 if the FortiSwitch-5003B board is installed in
slot 1. Slots 1 and 3 to 14 if the FortiSwitch-5003B board is installed in slot 2.).
• One 10-gigabit fabric backplane channel for layer-2 fabric backplane switching
between FortiGate-5001B boards installed in the same chassis as the
FortiSwitch-5003B board. The fabric backplane channel includes 13 10-gigabit
connections to up to 13 other slots in the chassis (Slots 2 to 14 if the
FortiSwitch-5003B board is installed in slot 1. Slots 1 and 3 to 14 if the
FortiSwitch-5003B board is installed in slot 2.).
By default, FortiSwitch-5003B boards with part numbers lower than P11000-01 could
not connect to the 14th fabric channel slot interface without deactivating the F8 front
panel interface. See "Disabling the front panel F8 interface and enabling the slot-14
fabric interface" on page
• Two front panel base backplane 10-gigabit SFP+ interfaces (B1 and B2) that connect
to the base backplane channel. These interfaces can also be configured to operate as
1-gigabit SFP interfaces.
