FortiGate 70F and 71F fast path architecture
The FortiGate 70F and 71F includes the SOC4 and uses the SOC4 CPU, NP6XLite processor, and CP9XLite processor. All of the data interfaces (1-5, A, B, DMZ, WAN1, and WAN2 ) connect to the NP6XLite processor. The FortiGate 70F and 71F also includes an integrated switch fabric that connects some of the data interfaces (1-5, A, B, and DMZ) to the NP6XLite processor. The WAN1 and WAN2 interfaces connect directly to the NP6XLite processor. The A and B interfaces can also be used as FortiLink interfaces. The FortiGate 70F and 71F is based on the same hardware architecture as the FortiGate 60F and 61F but with enhanced memory and integrated switch fabric hardware.
The FortiGate 70F and 71F models feature the following front panel interfaces:
- Eight 10/100/1000BASE-T Copper (1-5, A, B, DMZ) connected to the NP6XLite processor through the integrated switch fabric
- Two 10/100/1000BASE-T Copper (WAN1 and WAN2) directly connected to the NP6XLite processor
You can use the command diagnose npu np6xlite port-list
to display the FortiGate 70F or 71F NP6XLite configuration.
