thanks for the advice ,I forgot stacked switch will form as the on logical switch .

without aggregates, you'd need to throw in some spanning tree or make sure the fortinets do not allow traffic to flow from one interface to the other. i recollect there is an option in fortinets when setting up port groups. but anyway the above is much more reliable.
