Description
Fortinet FortiGate 2600F Series (FG-2600F / FG-2601F)
Modern data-centre / core NGFW built for 25G + 100G uplinks, with very high everything-on security throughput.
Compared to the E-series you pasted earlier (2200E/2500E), this is a big step up because it pairs NP7 + CP9 with 25G SFP28 and 100G QSFP28so it actually fits modern leaf/spine and high-speed core designs.
At-a-glance performance (Enterprise Traffic Mix)
-
IPS: 31 Gbps
-
NGFW: 27 Gbps
-
Threat Protection: 25 Gbps
-
SSL Inspection (IPS avg HTTPS): 20 Gbps
-
SSL Inspection CPS: 16,000
-
IPsec VPN (512B): 55 Gbps
-
SSL-VPN throughput: 16 Gbps
-
Recommended concurrent SSL-VPN users: 30,000
What that means: this is built for high sustained inspection (IPS/NGFW/Threat Protection) while still supporting serious remote access + encrypted traffic visibility.
