The FortiGate-5001SX security system module is a high-performance FortiGate
security system with a total of 8 Gigabit ethernet interfaces. The
FortiGate-5001SX module supports high-end features including 802.1Q VLANs
and multiple virtual domains. You can also configure two or more
FortiGate-5001SX modules to create a high availability (HA) cluster to provide
failover protection and load balancing. HA clustering uses two internal gigabit
interfaces for HA communication through the FortiGate-5000 series chassis
backplane, leaving all eight front panel gigabit interfaces available for network
connections.
The FortiGate-5001SX module includes the following features:
• A total of eight gigabit interfaces
• Four gigabit interfaces that can accept Small Formfactor Pluggable (SFP)
fiber or copper transceivers (interfaces 1, 2, 3, and 4)
• Four 1000Base-T gigabit copper network interfaces (interfaces 5, 6, 7,
and 8)
• DB-9 RS-232 serial console connection
• USB connector
• Mounting hardware
• LED status indicators
The FortiGate-5001SX module comes supplied with four fiber or four copper SFP
transceivers. Before you can connect FortiGate-5001SX interfaces 1 to 4, you
must insert the SPF transceivers into the FortiGate-5001SX front panel cage slots
numbered 1 to 4.
