Solution
To check the port mapping to NPU in FortiOS:
#diagnose npu <npx> port-list  
Where the NPX is the NPU type available for the specific model, it can be find out by
#diagnose npu ?
Example:
# diagnose npu np6lite port-list
Chip   XAUI Ports            Max   Cross-chip
                             Speed offloading
------ ---- -------          ----- ----------
np6lite_0
       2    port9            1000M          NO
       1    port10           1000M          NO
       4    port11           1000M          NO
       3    port12           1000M          NO
       6    port13           1000M          NO
       5    port14           1000M          NO
       9    port15           1000M          NO
       10   port16           1000M          NO
       8    port17           1000M          NO
       7    port18           1000M          NO
np6lite_1
       2    wan1             1000M          NO
       1    wan2             1000M          NO
       4    port1            1000M          NO
       3    port2            1000M          NO
       6    port3            1000M          NO
       5    port4            1000M          NO
       8    port5            1000M          NO
       7    port6            1000M          NO
       10   port7            1000M          NO
       9    port8            1000M          NO
Above shows different port mapped to different NPU.
For model with multiple NPU and does not have switch fabric, it will not support link aggregation for port mapped to different NPU.
To check if the model support switch fabric, crosscheck the hardware acceleration document which can be found in Fortinet online documents.
