Base and fabric 10-gigabit switching within a chassis
One FortiGate-RTM-XB2 provides 10-gigabit connections to both
FortiGate-5001A fabric channels. The FortiGate-RTM-XB2 also provides NP2
packet acceleration for each fabric channel. To effectively use NP2 acceleration,
packets must be received by the FortiGate-5001A board on one fabric channel
and exit from the FortiGate-5001A board on the same fabric channel or on the
other fabric channel. Se

information.
shows a FortiGate-5050 chassis containing two FortiSwitch-5003A
boards and one FortiGate-5001A board. Using these components this chassis
supplies 10-gigabit connectivity between the external and internal network.
