FortiSwitch-5003 system
The FortiSwitch-5003 system
provides base backplane
communication between
FortiGate security boards installed in FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis.
Base backplane communication can be used for HA heartbeat communication
and for data communication. The FortiSwitch-5003 board can also provide HA
heartbeat and data communication between chassis. The FortiSwitch-5003 board
is only used in FortiGate-5140 and FortiGate-5050 chassis. For details about the
FortiSwitch-5003 board, see
“FortiSwitch-5003 system” on page 61
FortiGate-5005-DIST security system
The FortiGate-5005-DIST security system is
very similar to a single FortiGate unit, but with
much higher capacity and with support for
failover protection and scalability. The
FortiGate-5005-DIST security system consists
of a FortiGate-5050 or FortiGate-5140 chassis
with one or two Input/Output or I/O boards
(FortiController-5208 boards) and one or more worker boards (FortiGate-5005FA2
boards running in DIST mode). The I/O boards provide 10 gigabit and 1gigabit
network connections and distribute traffic to the worker boards. The worker
boards provide FortiGate security system functions including firewall, VPN, IPS,
antivirus, antispam, and so on. For details about the FortiGate-5005-DIST security
system, see
“The FortiGate-5005-DIST security system” on page 67
FortiController-5208 system
An integral part of a
FortiGate-5005-DIST Security
System, the FortiController-5208
board provides all Fortigate-5005-DIST 10gigabit and 1 gigabit network
interfaces. The FortiContro0ller-5208 board also provides the management
interface to the FortiGate-5005-DIST system and controls backplane
communication between all FortiGate-5005-DIST components.
You can create a FortiGate-5005-DIST high-throughput multi-threat network
security system using one or two FortiGate boards and multiple FortiGate-5005
boards in a FortiGate-5050 or FortiGate-5140 chassis. A FortiGate-5020 chassis
cannot be used to create a FortiGate-5005-DIST system. Functionally, one or two
FortiGate boards using the processing power of multiple FortiGate-5005 boards
function much like a single FortiGate unit, but with far greater capacity. For details
about the FortiController-55208 board, see
“FortiController-5208 system” on
