FortiGate-5001SX security system

FortiGate-5001SX security system

The FortiGate-5001SX security system is a high-performance FortiGate security system with a total of 8 front panel gigabit ethernet interfaces and two base backplane interfaces. Use the front panel interfaces for connections to your networks and the backplane interfaces for communication between FortiGate-5000 series boards over the FortiGate-5000 chassis backplane.

You can also configure two or more FortiGate-5001SX boards to create a high availability (HA) cluster using the base backplane interfaces for HA heartbeat communication through chassis backplane, leaving all eight front panel gigabit interfaces available for network connections.

The FortiGate-5001SX board also supports high-end FortiGate features including 802.1Q VLANs, multiple virtual domains, 802.3ad aggregate interfaces, and FortiGate-5000 chassis monitoring.

The FortiGate-5001SX board includes the following features:

A total of eight front panel gigabit interfaces

Four gigabit interfaces that can accept Small Formfactor Pluggable (SFP) fiber or copper transceivers (interfaces 1, 2, 3, and 4)

Four 10/100/1000Base-T gigabit copper network interfaces (interfaces 5, 6, 7, and 8)

Two base backplane gigabit interfaces (port9 and port10) for HA heartbeat and data communications across the FortiGate-5000 chassis backplane.
