FortiSwitch-5003A boards installed in a FortiGate-5060 chassis in slot 1 or slot 2 provide
base backplane switching for all of the FortiGate-5000 series boards installed in the
chassis. Base backplane switching is usually used for HA heartbeat communication
between FortiGate-5000 series boards in HA clusters.
For complete information about using the FortiSwitch-5003A for backplane
communications (including the FortiSwitch-5003A CLI reference), see the
