FortiGate-6000F hardware description
The CP9 processors in each FPC accelerate many common resource intensive security related processes such as SSL
VPN, Antivirus, Application Control, and IPS.
The management plane includes the management board, base backplane, management interfaces, and HA heartbeat
interfaces. Configuration and session synchronization between FPCs in a FortiGate-6000F occurs over the base
backplane. In an HA configuration, configuration and session synchronization between the FortiGate-6000Fs in the
cluster takes place over the HA1 and HA2 interfaces. Administrator logins, SNMP monitoring, remote logging to one or
more FortiAnalyzers or syslog servers, and other management functions use the MGMT1, MGMT2, and MGMT3
interfaces. You can use the 10Gbps MGMT3 interface for additional bandwidth that might be useful for high bandwidth
activities such as remote logging.
