Introduction

About the FortiGate-224B

The FortiGate-224B converges network and security products that uniquely
integrate multiple layers of threat protection with granular network access
controls. The FortiGate-224B delivers configurable port-level access control that
combines traditional FortiOS security technologies with layer 2 switching
hardware. The result is a complete and effective Local Area Network (LAN)
security solution.

The FortiGate-224B integrates enhanced network security through the
enforcement of security policy at the port level. The FortiGate-224B provides
multi-layered protection against intrusion attempts, viruses, worms, denial of
service attacks, spyware and blended threats.

The FortiGate-224B can operate in a initially trusted or initially un-trusted mode to
adapt to the defined security policy.
