Change description

April 24, 2024

NP7 offloading of ingress traffic shaping is not supported. This information has been added to NP7 session fast path requirements.

April 18, 2024

NP7 offloading of GRE over a loopback interface is not supported, see NP7 session fast path requirements, Tunneling protocols that can be offloaded by NP7 processors, and Protocols that can be offloaded by NP7 processors.

April 4, 2024

Updated Software switch interfaces and NP processors to explain that NP processors support offloading software switch traffic if inter-switch-policy is set to explicit and you have created firewall policies to allow traffic between interfaces in the software switch.

Changes to Configuring NP7 processors to add missing information and remove options only available if your FortiGate is licensed for Hyperscale firewall.

March 15, 2024

Added information about FortiGate 7000F FIMs and FPMs, including FortiGate 7000F support for HPE, see

February 14, 2024

Corrections to hash-config {src-dst-ip | 5-tuple | src-ip}.

February 8, 2024

FortiOS 7.4.3 document release.

January 26, 2024

Updated NP7 session fast path requirements to include GRE.

December 20, 2023

FortiOS 7.4.2 document release.

October 20, 2023

Changes to NTurbo offloads flow-based processing.

October 18, 2023

New section: Performance reduction for NP6 processors with 1Gbps interfaces.

Changes to:

October 6, 2023

New section: FortiGate Rugged 70F fast path architecture. Changes to most FortiGate fast path architecture descriptions.

September 22, 2023

New section: FortiGate Rugged 60F fast path architecture. Changes to the following sections:

August 31, 2023

FortiOS 7.4.1 document release.

August 28, 2023

Updates to NP7 performance optimized over KR links.

Changes to the following sections to correct information related to the SOC4 and SOC5:

August 3, 2023

Corrections to FortiGate NP7 architecture interface speeds, see FortiGate NP7 architectures.

Changes to FortiGate 3960E fast path architecture and FortiGate 3980E fast path architecture to explain that in multi-ISF systems, such as the FortiGate 3860E and FortiGate 3890E, NP6 offloading is not supported for LAGs containing interfaces connected to different ISF switches.

Corrected the section CP9 capabilities because FortiOS uses OpenSSL 3.0.x, which doesn't support the CP9 for SSL/TLS encryption and decryption.

July 17, 2023

Added information about NP6 and NP7 support for IPv6 SD-WAN segmentation over single relay sessions that include an IPsec VPN phase 1 configuration that enables VPN ID with IPIP encapsulation. See NP7 session fast path requirements and NP6 session fast path requirements.

July 4, 2023

Misc. changes throughout the document.

May 11, 2023

FortiOS 7.4.0 document release.
