FIM-7901E fast path architecture

FIM-7901E fast path architecture

The FIM-7901E includes an integrated switch fabric (ISF) that connects the FIM module front panel interfaces to the DP2 session-aware load balancers and to the chassis fabric and base backplanes. The ISF also allows the DP2 processors to distribute sessions among all NP6 processors on the FortiGate Processor Modules (FPM) in the FortiGate-7000E chassis.
