Passive Mode

Passive mode enables you to use the FortiLog unit solely as a Network Attached Server (NAS) storage device. The collection of device log files and the log reporting features are not available in passive mode.

FortiLog units running in Passive mode provide secure storage space. Using the integrated RAID (Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks) functionality provides better data security.

Note: RAID functionality is only available on the FortiLog-400 and 800. These units contain four hard disks and support RAID level 0, 1, and 5.
