About the FortiGate-310B Introduction
About the FortiGate-310B
The FortiGate-310B is designed to raise the expectations of mid-range security
devices. Incorporating FortiASIC network processors for firewall/VPN acceleration
and the FortiASIC Content Processor for content inspection acceleration, the
FortiGate-310B yields unmatched multi-threat performance metrics. AMC module
options offer both flexibility and the highest port density of any product in its class.
The FortiGate-310B's accelerated security throughput and high port density
relieves medium sized organizations of the restraints that have historically
prevented internal network security segmentation.

The FortiGate-310B includes:
• 8 Gbps firewall, 6 Gbps VPN as a base model
• 12 Gbps firewall, 9 Gbps VPN with optional AMC module
• SSL hardware acceleration
• Link aggregation
• Customizable expansion options
• Facilitates LAN security segmentation.

LACP configuration

You can aggregate (combine) two or more physical interfaces to increase
bandwidth and provide some link redundancy.
The FortiGate-310B has two NP2 acceleration processors; four ports for each.
When creating hardware acceleration of LACP on the FortiGate-310B, the
members of the LACP must be within the same NP2 set. For example, you must
select ports 1 to 4 or ports 5 to 8. Mixing ports between these to port sets, for
example port 1 and port 5, will not function as desired.
