FortiGate-5000 Series Introduction
01-30003-0378-20061207
The FortiSwitch-5003 module provides base backplane interface switching for the
FortiGate-5140 chassis and the FortiGate-5050 chassis. You can use this
switching for data communication or HA heartbeat communication between the
base backplane interfaces of FortiGate-5000 series modules installed in slots 3
and up in these chassis. FortiSwitch-5003 modules can be used for base
backplane communication in a single chassis or between multiple chassis.
Install FortiSwitch-5003 modules in chassis slots 1 and 2. A FortiSwitch-5003
module in slot 1 provides communications on base backplane interface 1. A
FortiSwitch-5003 module in slot 2 provides communications on base backplane
interface 2.
If your configuration includes only one FortiSwitch-5003 module you can install it
in slot 1 or slot 2 and configure the FortiGate-5000 modules installed in the
chassis to use the correct base backplane interface.
The FortiSwitch-5003 module includes the following features:
• A total of 16 10/100/1000Base-T gigabit ethernet interfaces:
• 13 backplane 10/100/1000Base-T gigabit interfaces for base backplane
switching between FortiGate-5000 series modules installed in the same
chassis as the FortiSwitch-5003
• Three front panel 10/100/1000Base-T gigabit interfaces (ZRE0, ZRE1,
ZRE2) for base backplane switching between two or more FortiGate-5000
series chassis
• One 100Base-TX out of band management ethernet interface (ETH0)
• RJ-45 RS-232 serial console connection (CONSOLE)
• Mounting hardware
• LED status indicators
From the FortiSwitch-5003 font panel you can view the status of the module LEDs
to verify that the module is functioning normally. You can also connect the
FortiSwitch-5003 module in one chassis to a FortiSwitch-5003 module in another
chassis through the front panel ethernet connections. The front panel also
includes and out of band management ethernet interface and the RJ-45 console
port for connecting to the FortiSwitch-5003 CLI.
