Using the AMC modules AMC modules
Log configuration using the CLI
Configure the FortiGate unit to log to the ASM-S08 using the CLI within the
FortiAnalyzer command config log disk setting enable.
For details on log configuration, see the FortiGate CLI Reference.
Viewing logs
Logs and content logs stored on the ASM-S08 are available for viewing and
analysis.
To view the FortiGate logs, go to Log&Report > Log Access.
To view the content logs, go to Log&Report > Content Archive. Select the log
type and select Local from the list box.
ASM-FB4 and ADM-XB2 modules
AMC (Advanced Mezzanine Card) modules provide additional hardware
accelerated network processing for certain eligible traffic types passing through
their SFP (small form-factor pluggable) network interfaces. This additional
processing resource frees FortiGate units’ main processing resources for other
tasks, improving network performance.
FortiGate-ASM-FB4 and ADM-XB2 modules can improve network throughput for:
• traffic with small packets, such as VoIP
• latency-sensitive traffic, such as streaming multimedia
• traffic with long session lifetimes, such as FTP
• IPSec VPN traffic
• active-active HA load-balanced traffic
• P2P traffic
Eligible traffic processing is off-loaded to the module. This fast path processing
leverages the additional hardware acceleration resources provided by the AMC
modules.
Ineligible traffic processing is processed normally. Normal processing by the
FortiGate unit’s main processing resources (CPU, RAM, and FortiASIC content
processor) can include some FortiASIC hardware accelerated processing, but
does not utilize the additional hardware acceleration resources provided by the
modules.
Changing interfaces to operate in SGMII or SerDes mode
SFP transceivers can operate in two modes: SerDes and SGMII (Serial Gigabit
Media Independent Interface). SGMII mode is required if you have SGMII
transceivers. In SGMII mode the interface can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps.
Upload rolled files in
gzipped format Select to compress the log files before uploading.
Delete files after
uploading Select to remove the log files once the FTP upoad has completed.
Note: HA logging is not available with the AMC-S08.
