FortiGate 1000D fast path architecture

FortiGate 1000D fast path architecture

The FortiGate 1000D includes two NP6 processors that are not connected by an integrated switch fabric (ISF). The NP6 processors are connected to network interfaces as follows:

Note

Because the FortiGate 1000D does not have an ISF you cannot create Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) or redundant interfaces that include interfaces connected to both NP6 processors.

  • Eight 1Gb SFP interfaces (port17-port24), eight 1Gb RJ-45 Ethernet interfaces (port25-32) and one 10Gb SFP+ interface (portB) share connections to the first NP6 processor.
  • Eight 1Gb SFP interfaces (port1-port8), eight RJ-45 Ethernet interfaces (port9-16) and one 10Gb SFP+ interface (portA) share connections to the second NP6 processor.

You can use the following get command to display the FortiGate 1000D NP6 configuration. The command output shows two NP6s named NP6_0 and NP6_1. The output also shows the interfaces (ports) connected to each NP6. You can also use the diagnose npu np6 port-list command to display this information.
