FortiGate 60F FAQ

How to create a FortiGate 60F Backup Config?
In the unlikely event that a FortiGate 60F firmware update destroys your configuration, you should always have a backup on hand. You can find out how and where to create or find this backup here.

Where can I find a FortiGate 60F Demo?
Fortinet has provided a demo of the FortiGate user interface in read mode, you can find it here. If you would like to test the device productively in your network, you are welcome to send us a request for a trial.

What are the FortiGate 60F A & B ports?
The so-called FortiLink ports allow to manage connected FortiSwitches directly via the FortiGate. Which models are supported as well as the configuration itself can be found here.

What is the difference between the FortiGate 60F and the FortiGate 61F?
The difference between the two units is only the internal memory, which is built into the FortiGate 61F. Until the FortiGate D series, hard drives were installed as standard. However, these were not needed by all users, so the units have now been split into two different versions. You can use the hard disk for persistent storage of log and quarantine files.

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.

This enterprise-class, high-throughput 802.11ax indoor AP offers three radios and 8 spatial streams.

• Integrated Wi-Fi security
  Protects the network from advanced wireless threats and meets PCI DSS compliance.
• Deployment
  FortiAPs enable a versatile choice of installation topologies with options to suit any business.

Highlights

Fortinet access points are designed for a wide range of deployments, from branch offices üto medium to large Büros, schools, universities, hospitals, hotels and large retail stores. The access points can serve such a wide range of applications because they can be managed by any of Fortinet's control and management offerings: FortiGate, FortiWLC, and FortiAP Cloud.

• Small/Medium Business
  Single retailers can streamline the deployment of Wifi in stores by combining Universal APs and FortiAP Cloud Management. Combined with FortiDeploy for zero-touch deployment, this provides a cost-effective solution for retail IT.
• Education
  The education sector is at increasing risk from cyber attacks. This, combined with the requirements to protect minors from inappropriate materials, can make the use of Wifi a challenge. A Secure Wireless Controller (FortiGate) provides secure student access to learning resources, while FortiGuard services provide cybersecurity protection.
• Healthcare
  Patient safety is a top priority. Fortinet APs enable hospitals to improve patient safety by enabling vital applications such as telemetry that require low bandwidth but exceptionally high reliability. The dedicated wireless controller (integrated Wifi controller of each FortiGate security appliance) connected to the access points ensures that patient safety is paramount while providing enhanced performance for wireless-enabled medical devices.

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.

FortiGate 200F FAQ

Supports the FortiGate 200F BGP routing?
BGP is a routing protocol that interconnects autonomous systems and searches for the best route based on strategic and metric criteria. If you want to learn more about configuring BGP routing with your FG-200F, click here.

Provides the FortiGate 200F Hardware Acceleration?
The FortiGate 200F offers hardware acceleration through a CP9 and NP6X-Lite chip, which were specially designed by Fortinet to take over special tasks. This reduces the load on the hardware. For more information, please refer to the FortiGate 200F datasheet.

Are there FortiGate 200F HA ports?
The FortiGate 200F has its own HA ports for possible high availability, which means that no existing ports need to be expended. The ports are located on the front of the unit and are labeled HA.
