LACP problem between Meraki MS and Fortigate
We have a Stack - 1 (SW-ACESSO2, SW-ACESSO3, SW-ACESSO1) and we are using port 47 from sw1 and sw2 to lacp to one Fortigate (port 1 and port 2).
It seems to work well for some days but we lost connectivity Stack - 1 (SW-ACESSO2, SW-ACESSO3, SW-ACESSO1) lost connectivity on Aug 13 from 00:46 to 07:15 (UTC-3).
The way to get connectivity to be restored was changing LACP from Fortigate side (add/del one of two ports).
So, I would like to confirm that LACP is properly configured on both sides.
LACP on Meraki side:
Aggregation group AGGR/0 (SW-ACESSO1 47 and SW-ACESSO2 47)
Port status Enabled
Type Trunk
Native VLAN 1
Allowed VLANs 2-4094
Access policy Open
Link negotiation Auto negotiate
RSTP Enabled
Port schedule Unscheduled
Port isolation Disabled
Trusted DAI Disabled
UDLD Alert only
Tags none
PoE Enabled
Port mirroring Not mirroring traffic
LACP Fortigate side:
LACP mode: active
LACP speed: slow
LACP HA: enable
(A|P) - LACP mode is Active or Passive
(S|F) - LACP speed is Slow or Fast
(A|I) - Aggregatable or Individual
(I|O) - Port In sync or Out of sync
(E|D) - Frame collection is Enabled or Disabled
(E|D) - Frame distribution is Enabled or Disabled
status: up
LACP state: established
actor state: ASAIEE
actor port number/key/priority: 2 17 255
partner state: ASAIEE

@RafaelKelles I would change this section to include VLAN 1 in the allowed VLANs
Native VLAN 1
Allowed VLANs 2-4094
I also don't see what is allowed from the FortiGate side, can you please detail?

@RafaelKelles it appears that the FGT only has VLANs 10,20,21,22,23,24,60,70,80,90,110,150,151,152 and 200. I can't see a native VLAN on the trunk from that config either, so I'd match that on the Meraki. Unless I'm reading it wrong!?!

We have recently ran into issues with this using LACP from the FortiGate to Meraki MS350's and MS355's on firmware version 7.2.7, mostly just with FortiGate 80F's that we have identified so far. Sometimes one of the ports on the switches will just start displaying the following error, "Port running LACP and LACP has disabled this port". We have tried rebooting the switches and the firewall. We even reprovisioned firewalls. We had the message go away on one after re-provisioning it, factory reset/push config from fortimanager. However in each of these cases the firewall has been up and connected via LACP to these switches for quite some time, sometimes months without issues. We did notice some RSTP port status changes in the RSTP logs and also found out at one site that the site maintenance person had been rebooting the firewall if they lost internet connectivity without notifying anyone. We have this same template and configuration pushed out to over 40 facilities, but have just recently started hearing reports of these issues happening so we aren't sure of the cause yet at this point. Our Meraki side config in our scenario is native VLAN 10 and all VLANs allowed. On the firewall side we have the native VLAN untagged and then all used VLANs configured as VLAN interfaces on the LAG. Our firewall side shows the same with no errors or issues when we ran into the switch side reporting that one of the ports was disabled. We have a higher tier 3rd party support vendor assisting us with the rollout of these firewalls and this configuration and they stated they believe it may be a bug that only presents in rare scenarios and we are planning to start troubleshooting next week. I would love to hear if you find out any further information.

Your pure aggregate config and flags seem correct. VLAN config of course is another thing. I recommend using an unused VLAN ID as native VLAN on the port leading to the FGT and then on the FGT not defining any IP on the aggregate itself but only on VLAN interfaces on that aggregate.
We do have a few customers that are running MS, MR but have an FGT as gateway and usually we do aggregates to those and have not yet run into this issue.

I found that several versions of Meraki MS firmware release notes reference LACP errors causing issues and/or MAC address flapping on uplink issues. It looks like it’s a random occurrence thing and isn’t always repeatable. Another references a random occurrence of it happening on reboot or disconnect/reconnect. I believe that’s what we are seeing. It looks like version 17.1.1 is said to correct the issue.

SOLVED my issue:
Got An issue when LACP from FG to MS. the PO (spanned across X1-x2) in the FG side has 5 subinterfaces and the meraki side has an aggregate interface and it was configured with VLAN 1-1000. This configuration caused all the subints in the FG to be down (red). When I modified the MS side in the aggregate interface to have only the VLANs required, like 10,20,30,40,50 and deleted the 1-1000, the Ints at the FG went up and have been steady ok for a while.
in other words, the Vlans numbers in the MS should match the sub ints in the FG.
