Hello,

I seem to have issues to get topology info out of our Fortiswitches, one thing i noticed compared to our cisco is the Interface showing [ 0] in the FDB tab of the switches.
Not sure where to start really, including maybe relevant topology info from the log file

thank you

Hi,

Is it possible that you could provide remote access to some lab fortiswitch so our developers could talk to it to improve the drivers?

Or at least please share output of
