FortiGate-5001D fast path architecture
The FortiGate5001D features two NP6 processors.
- port1, port3, fabric1 and base1 share connections to the first NP6 processor.
- port2, port4, fabric2 and base2 share connections to the second NP6 processor.
NP6 default interface mapping
You can use the following get command to display the FortiGate-5001D 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.

NP6 interface mapping with split ports
If you use the following CLI command to split port1:
config system global
set split-port port1
end
The new split ports (port1/1 to port 1/4) are mapped to the same NP6 as the port1 interface:
