Determining the network processors installed in your FortiGate

Determining the network processors installed in your FortiGate

Use either of the following command to list the NP6 processors in your FortiGate unit:

get hardware npu np6 port-list

diagnose npu np6 port-list

Use the following command to list the NP6XLite processors in your FortiGate unit:

get hardware npu np6xlite port-list

Use either of the following commands to list the NP6Lite processors in your FortiGate unit:

get hardware npu np6lite port-list

diagnose npu np6lite port-list

To list other network processors on your FortiGate unit, use the following CLI command.

get hardware npu <model> list

<model> can be legacy, np1, np2 or np4.

The output lists the interfaces that have the specified processor. For example, for a FortiGate-5001B:

get hardware npu np4 list

ID Model Slot Interface

0 On-board port1 port2 port3 port4

fabric1 base1 npu0-vlink0 npu0-vlink1

1 On-board port5 port6 port7 port8

fabric2 base2 npu1-vlink0 npu1-vlink1

The npu0-vlink0, npu1-vlink1 etc interfaces are used for accelerating inter-VDOM links.
