Over FortiLink the FortiGate configures the switch ports, VLANs and security policy, so switching is part of the firewall setup.

Check the FortiGate limit: each FortiGate manages a set number of FortiSwitches over FortiLink, for example 8 on a FortiGate 40F and 16 on a 60F or 80F. Tell us your FortiGate model and we will confirm.
