FortiGate 6000F series schematic

FortiGate 6000F hardware includes a data plane and a management plane. The data plane processes customer network

synchronization, SNMP, and other monitoring, HA heartbeat communication, and remote and (if supported) local disk
logging. Separating these two planes means that resources used for data processing are not compromised by
management activities.
