FortiGate 80F FAQ

Does the FortiGate 80F have an SFP port?
Yes, the FortiGate 80F is the smallest FortiGate model currently available, which has 2x SFP ports.

What are FortiGate 80F Shared Ports?
As described above, the FortiGate 80F has 2x shared media ports (SFP ports). This means that only one of the two can be actively used in the shared pair. So in this case you can use either WAN1 or SFP1.

Does the FortiGate 80F offers HA?
A high-availability cluster (HA cluster) describes two firewalls that run simultaneously and, in the unlikely event of a failure of one device, immediately switch to the other device without any interruption in productive operation. The failover is ensured by an active-active cluster. For this, however, both devices must be licensed in the same way. An overview of the detailed configuration options can be found here.

Is there a FortiGate 80F Rackmount Kit?
While the FortiGate 80F is not a 19" model and therefore not rackmountable, various third-party rackmount kits are offered. Our recommendation is the FortiGate 80F/81F Rackmount Kit from Rackmount-IT.

Does the FortiGate 90G offers HA?

A high-availability cluster (HA cluster) describes two firewalls that run simultaneously and, in the unlikely event of a failure of one device, immediately switch to the other device without any interruption in productive operation. The failover is ensured by an active-active cluster. For this, however, both devices must be licensed in the same way. An overview of the detailed configuration options can be found here.

Benefits:

• Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for both Network Firewalls and SD-WAN
• Security-Driven Networking with FortiOS delivers converged networking and security
• Unparalleled Performance with Fortinet’s patented SoC processors
• Enterprise Security with consolidated AI / ML-powered FortiGuard Services
• Simplified Operations with centralized management for networking and security, automation, deep analytics, and self-healing

90G / 91G Series is a compact, cost-effective all-in-one security appliance. The series is ideal for small business, remote, customer premise equipment (CPE) and retail networks. These appliances provide you with network security, connectivity and performance in the context of these deployment areas.
