FortiGate 100F desktop firewall appliance

The FortiGate 100F is a desktop firewall appliance built for workgroup and departmental security. It delivers threat protection, secure IPsec VPN connectivity, SSL encrypted traffic inspection and application control in a single chassis. The unit runs an ICSA-certified operating system and includes dual power supplies for redundancy. It suits organisations that need consolidated security services at the network edge.

Sustained load with 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks

Under continuous traffic the appliance uses 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ FortiLinks for high-throughput uplinks and 22 GE RJ45 ports for LAN connectivity. Sixteen switch ports share media with four SFP ports, while dedicated WAN, DMZ, management and HA ports keep control traffic separate. Dual power supplies maintain operation during a single supply failure without performance degradation.

22-port GE RJ45 and SFP+ uplink configuration

The decisive specification is the port layout: 22 GE RJ45 ports including 2 WAN, 1 DMZ, 1 management, 2 HA and 16 switch ports with 4 shared-media SFP ports, plus 2 dedicated 10 GE SFP+ FortiLinks. Buyers who need higher port density or different uplink speeds should verify the exact count before ordering.
