Description
Fortinet FortiGate 1000F Series (FG-1000F / FG-1001F)
Data-centre / core edge NGFW with real 100G + 25G connectivity and serious policy scale.
This is the step-up model when youre doing hybrid mesh firewall, core segmentation, or high-density aggregation and dont want separate boxes just to bridge 10/25/40/100G.
At-a-glance performance (Enterprise Traffic Mix)
-
IPS: 19 Gbps
-
NGFW: 15 Gbps
-
Threat Protection: 13 Gbps
-
SSL Inspection (IPS avg HTTPS): 10 Gbps
-
IPsec VPN (512B): 55 Gbps
-
SSL-VPN: 5.3 Gbps
-
Recommended concurrent SSL-VPN users: 10,000
Plain English: Its built for high inspection + segmentation at the core, not just internet edge firewalling.
Ports & interfaces (this is the big value)
Front-panel connectivity:
-
2 x 100GE QSFP28 (also supports 40GE QSFP+)
-
8 x 25GE SFP28 (also supports 10GE SFP+ / GE SFP)
-
16 x 10GE SFP+ (also supports GE SFP)
-
8 x multi-gig RJ45 (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M)
-
1 x 1GE RJ45 MGMT
-
1 x 2.5GE/1GE HA port
-
Console + USB
Why customers care: you can land 100G uplinks, do 25G leaf/spine or core, and still handle 10G + multigig accessall on one platform.
