FortiGate 70G and 71G fast path architecture
The FortiGate 70G and 71G includes the SOC5 (also called the SP5) and uses the SOC5 CPU, NP7Lite processor, and CP10 content processor. The SOC5 ISF connects all of the FortiGate 70G and 71G front panel data interfaces to the NP7Lite processor. The FortiGate 70G and 71G do not support DoS policy hardware acceleration, see DoS policy hardware acceleration.
The FortiGate 70G and 71G features the following front panel interfaces:
- Ten 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 (1-6, A, B, WAN1 and WAN2) connected to the SOC5 integrated switch fabric. A and B are FortiLink interfaces.
The SOC5 includes an integrated switch fabric (ISF) that connects all of the front panel network interfaces to the NP7Lite processor. The SOC5 ISF allows sessions passing between any FortiGate front panel interface pair to be offloaded by the NP7Lite processor. The SOC5 ISF also allows you to use the command config system virtual-switch to create a virtual hardware switch that can include any front panel interface connected to the SOC5.
