FortiGate–1000D fast path architecture The FortiGate-1000D includes two NP6 processors that are not connected by an integrated switch fabric (ISF). The NP6 processors are connected to network interfaces as follows: Because the FortiGate-1000D does not have an ISF you cannot create Link Aggreg- ation Groups (LAGs) that include interfaces connected […]
FortiGate–900D fast path architecture The FortiGate-900D includes two NP6 processors that are not connected by an integrated switch fabric (ISF). Without an ISF, traffic through a FortiGate-900D could experience lower latency than traffic through similar hardware with an ISF. The NP6 processors are connected to network interfaces as follows: Because […]
FortiGate–800D fast path architecture The FortiGate-800D includes one NP6 processor connected through an integrated switch fabric to all of the FortiGate-800D network interfaces. This hardware configuration supports NP6-accelerated fast path offloading for sessions between any of the FortiGate-800D interfaces. Integrated Switch Fabric FortiASIC NP6 System Bus CP8 CPU CP8 You […]
FortiGate–600D fast path architecture The FortiGate-600D includes one NP6 processor connected to eight 1Gb SFP interfaces (port1-port8) and eight 1Gb RJ-45 Ethernet ports (port9-16) and two 10Gb SFP+ interfaces (port17 and port18). You can use the following get command to display the FortiGate-600D NP6 configuration. The command output shows one NP6 […]
FortiGate–500D fast path architecture The FortiGate-500D includes one NP6 processor connected to eight 1Gb SFP interfaces (port1-port8) and eight 1Gb RJ-45 Ethernet ports (port9-16). FortiASIC NP6 CP8 CPU CP8 You can use the following get command to display the FortiGate-500D NP6 configuration. The command output shows one NP6 named NP6_0 […]
FortiGate–400D fast path architecture The FortiGate-400D includes one NP6 processor connected to eight 1Gb SFP interfaces (port1-port8) and eight 1Gb RJ-45 Ethernet ports (port9-16). FortiASIC NP6 CP8 CPU CP8 You can use the following get command to display the FortiGate-400D NP6 configuration. The command output shows one NP6 named NP6_0 […]
FortiGate–300D fast path architecture The FortiGate-300D includes one NP6 processor connected to four 1Gb RJ-45 Ethernet ports (port1-4) and four 1Gb SFP interfaces (port5-port8). FortiASIC NP6 CP8 CPU CP8 You can use the following get command to display the FortiGate-300D NP6 configuration. The command output shows one NP6 named NP6_0 and […]
FortiGate NP6 architectures Many FortiGate models can offload some types of network traffic processing from main processing resources to specialized network processors. If your network has a significant volume of traffic that is suitable for offloading, this hardware acceleration can significantly improve your network throughput.
