FortiGate 60F and 61F fast path architecture

FortiGate 60F and 61F fast path architecture

The FortiGate 60F and 61F 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 60F and 61F 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 60F and 61F 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 60F or 61F NP6XLite configuration.
