You can also configure two or more FortiGate-5001C boards to create a high availability
(HA) cluster using the base or fabric backplane interfaces for HA heartbeat
communication through the chassis backplane, leaving front panel interfaces available
for network connections.
In most cases the base backplane interfaces are used for HA heartbeat communication
and the fabric backplane interfaces are used for data communication.
The FortiGate-5001C board also supports high-end FortiGate features including 802.1Q
VLANs, multiple virtual domains, 802.3ad aggregate interfaces, and FortiOS Carrier.
The FortiGate-5001C board includes the following features:
• Two front panel SFP+ 10-gigabit interfaces (port1 and port2) accelerated by two
FortiASIC NP4 network processors. Can also be configured as SFP 1-gigabit
interfaces.
• Two front panel 10/100/1000Base-T copper 1-gigabit management ethernet
interfaces (mgmt1 and mgmt2).
• Two base backplane 1-gigabit interfaces (base1 and base2) for HA heartbeat
communications across the FortiGate-5000 chassis base backplane.
• Two fabric backplane 10-gigabit interfaces (fabric1 and fabric2) for data
communications across the FortiGate-5000 chassis fabric backplane.
• Two NP4 network processors that accelerate firewall and IPsec VPN.
• Two CP8 content processors that accelerate IPS, SSL VPN, and IPsec VPN.
• Internal 128 GByte SSD for storing log messages, DLP archives, SQL log message
database, historic reports, IPS packet archiving, file quarantine, WAN Optimization
byte caching and web caching.
• One RJ-45 RS-232 serial console connection.
• 1 USB connector.
• NMI switch (for troubleshooting boards with part number P10633-01 and up, as
recommended by Fortinet Support).
• Mounting hardware.
• LED status indicators.
From the FortiGate-5001C front panel you can view the status of the front panel LEDs to
verify that the board is functioning normally. You also connect the FortiGate-5001C board
to your 10-gigabit network using the front panel SFP+ or SFP connectors. The front panel
also includes two Ethernet management interfaces, an RJ-45 console port for connecting
to the FortiOS CLI and a USB port. The USB port can be used with any USB key for
backing up and restoring configuration files.
