With the Fortinet solution for integrated networking using FortiLink, the core layer always comprises a set of two to four FortiGate devices and two very high-speed FortiSwitch units, which support a ...

This is going to depend on what your firewall can handle. I would keep all of the gateways on the switches so the firewall doesn''t have to handle ARP, NDP, or learn MAC addresses.

If you have a single firewall, but a fully redundant core, it makes more sense for the core to be the client gateway so that in the event of the single firewall failing, internal routing isn''t impacted.

You want to simply extend L2 all the way from the access switch to the firewall so all ports need to be L2 until they get to the L3 interface on the firewall. One thing to check is your access
