FortiGate-5001FA2 security system
The FortiGate-5001FA2 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-5001FA2 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.
FortiGate-5001FA2 front panel interfaces 1 and 2 also include accelerated packet forwarding and policy enforcement for faster small packet performance.
The FortiGate-5001FA2 board also supports high-end FortiGate features including 802.1Q VLANs, multiple virtual domains, 802.3ad aggregate interfaces, and FortiGate-5000 chassis monitoring.
