FortiGate 100F and 101F fast path architecture
The FortiGate 100F and 101F both include a SOC4 and use the SOC4 CPU, NP6XLite processor, and CP9XLite processor. All of the data interfaces (1-20), the HA interfaces, and the Fortilink interfaces (X1 and X2) connect to the NP6XLite processor through the integrated switch fabric. The DMZ and MGMT interfaces connect directly to the NP6XLite processor.
Interfaces 17 to 20 are shared SFP or Ethernet interfaces. That means there are two sets of physical interfaces numbered 17 to 20 but only one of each can be connected to a network. This allows you to, for example, connect interfaces 17 and 18 to an SFP switch and interfaces 19 and 20 to a 10/100/1000BASE-T Copper switch.
The FortiGate 100F and 101F models feature the following front panel interfaces:
- Two 10/100/1000BASE-T Copper (DMZ, MGMT) that connect directly to the NP6XLite.
- Sixteen 10/100/1000BASE-T Copper (WAN1, WAN2, HA1, HA2, 1 to 12) that connect to the internal switch fabric.
- Two 10 GigE SFP+ (X1 and X2) FortiLink interfaces.
- Four 1GigE SFP (13 to 16).
- Four shared interfaces (17 to 20) that can be either:
- 10/100/1000BASE-T Copper
- 1GE SFP
You can use the command diagnose npu np6xlite port-list to display the FortiGate 100F or 101F NP6XLite configuration.
