When working with Fortinet Support to troubleshoot problems with FortiSwitch-5203B
boards with part number P10636-01 and up you can use the front panel non-maskable
interrupt (NMI) switch to assist with troubleshooting. Pressing this switch causes the
software to dump registers/backtraces to the console. After the data is dumped the
board reboots. While the board is rebooting, traffic is temporarily blocked. The board
should restart normally and traffic can resume once its up and running.
Operating as a FortiGate unit in content cluster mode the FortiSwitch-5203B board
performs routing, firewalling, stateful inspection, IPsec and SSL VPN
encryption/decryption, and other FortiGate functions. The FortiSwitch-5203B board
includes two FortiASIC NP4 processors that offload and accelerate firewall and VPN
processing.
Using content cluster weighted load balancing, the FortiSwitch-5203B board distributes
sessions that require content processing (proxy and flow-based UTM functions such as
virus scanning, intrusion protection, application control, web filtering, and so on) to one
or more workers installed in chassis slots 3 and up.
