The FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC security system is a high-performance FortiGate
security system with a total of 8 front panel gigabit ethernet interfaces and two
base backplane interfaces. Use the front panel interfaces for connections to your
networks and the backplane interfaces for communication between
FortiGate-5000 series boards over the FortiGate-5000 chassis backplane.
You can also configure two or more FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC boards to create a
high availability (HA) cluster using the base backplane interfaces for HA heartbeat
communication through chassis backplane, leaving all eight front panel gigabit
interfaces available for network connections.
FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC front panel interfaces 1 and 2 also include accelerated
packet forwarding and policy enforcement for faster small packet performance.
The FortiGate-5001FA2-LENC board also supports high-end FortiGate features
including 802.1Q VLANs, multiple virtual domains, 802.3ad aggregate interfaces,
and FortiGate-5000 chassis monitoring.
