FortiGate-4000P network connections
Use the following steps to connect your internal and external networks to the
FortiGate-4000P pass-through interface modules that support 1000Base-T
connections. This is a general connection procedure only. For information about how
to connect the FortiGate-4000 unit for different network configurations, see
the FortiGate configuration” on page 53
.
1
Connect your internal network to the internal pass-through interface module.
The internal pass-through interface module is installed on the right rear panel of the
FortiGate-4000P (see
Figure 6 on page 31
).
You will need one network connection for each FortiBlade-4010 module installed in
the FortiGate-4000 chassis. Each FortiBlade-4010 module is connected to a different
interface on the pass-through interface module. See
Figure 12 on page 35
for the
correspondence between the slots on the FortiGate-4000 chassis and the interfaces
on the pass-through interface module.
2
Connect your external network to the external pass-through interface module.
The external pass-through interface module is installed on the left rear panel of the
FortiGate-4000P (see
Figure 6 on page 31
).
You will need one network connection for each FortiBlade-4010 module installed in
the FortiGate-4000 chassis. Each FortiBlade-4010 module is connected to a different
interface on the pass-through interface module. See
Figure 12 on page 35
for the
correspondence between the slots on the FortiGate-4000 chassis and the interfaces
on the pass-through interface module.
FortiGate-4000S network connections
Use the following steps to connect your internal and external networks to the
FortiGate-4000S switched interface modules that support 10/100/1000Base-T
connections. This is a general connection procedure only. For information about how
to connect the FortiGate-4000 unit for different network configurations, see
the FortiGate configuration” on page 53
.
1
Connect your internal network to the internal switched interface module.
The internal switched interface module is installed on the right rear panel of the
FortiGate-4000S (see
Figure 7 on page 32
).
You can connect to the copper gigabit ethernet interfaces or to optical connectors
installed in the SFP interfaces. See
Figure 13 on page 36
for the location of the
copper gigabit and SFP connectors.
2
Connect your external network to the external switched interface module.
The external switched interface module is installed on the left rear panel of the
FortiGate-4000S chassis (see
Figure 7 on page 32
).
Note: You can connect to the gigabit copper ethernet connectors or to the SFP connectors but
not both.
