FortiGate-RTM-XB2

The FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module provides two 10-gigabit fabric backplane interfaces and NP2 processor acceleration for FortiGate-5001A fabric interfaces. For 10-gigabit fabric backplane communications, each FortiGate-5001A board requires one FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module. The FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module is an ATCA rear transition module (RTM) that installs into an RTM slot at the back of a FortiGate-5140 and FortiGate-5050 chassis.

To support 10-gigabit fabric backplane communications your FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis must also include one or more FortiSwitch-5003A boards or other 10-gigabit fabric backplane switching boards installed in the chassis in fabric slots 1 and 2.

Note: On some versions of the FortiGate-5001A firmware, when a FortiGate-5001A board starts up with a FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module installed, the fabric1 and fabric2 interfaces are replaced with interfaces that are named RTM/1 and RTM/2 to indicate the presence of the FortiGate-RTM-XB2module. Configuration settings that include the fabric1 and fabric2 interface names will have to be changed to use the RTM/1 and RTM/2 interface names.

The FortiGate-RTM-XB2 NP2 processors provide hardware accelerated network processing for eligible traffic passing through the FortiGate-RTM-XB2 interfaces. For information about Fortinet NP2 processor acceleration, see the Fortinet Hardware Acceleration Technical Note.

Follow the instructions in the FortiGate-RTM-XB2 System Guide to install the FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module.

AMC modules

You can install one FortiGate AMC Double width Module (ADM) in the

FortiGate-5001A-DW front panel AMC double-width opening. For example:

•The FortiGate-ADM-XB2, provides 2 NP2 accelerated XFP 10-gigabit interfaces.

•The FortiGate-ADM-FB8, provides 8 NP2 accelerated SFP 1-gigabit interfaces.
