Introduction Introduction This FortiGate-5000 Series Introduction is a high-level guide to all three FortiGate-5000 series chassis and the boards that you can install in them. This chapter includes the following topics: • Revision history • About the FortiGate-5000 series chassis •...
VPN, antivirus protection, spam filtering, web filtering and intrusion prevention (IPS). The wide variety of system configurations available with FortiGate-5000 series provide flexibility to meet the changing needs of growing high performance networks. The FortiGate-5000 series chassis support multiple hot-swappable FortiGate-5000 series boards and power supplies.
About the FortiGate-5000 series boards Each FortiGate-5000 series board is a standalone FortiGate security system that can also function as part of a FortiGate HA cluster. All FortiGate-5000 series boards are also hot swappable. All FortiGate-5000 series units are high capacity security systems with multiple gigabit interfaces, multiple virtual domain capacity, and other high end FortiGate features.
The FortiGate-5001FA2 board is similar to the FortiGate-5001SX board except that two of the FortiGate-5001FA2 interfaces include Fortinet technology to accelerate small packet performance. For details about the FortiGate-5001FA2 board, see security system” on page...
