Support for new VM bandwidth-limited SKUs 6.4.2

Four new stackable SKUs allow you to purchase and deploy VMs with limited bandwidths per interface. The bandwidth limits are calculated per interface, or aggregate interface, per direction. Management only interfaces are exempt from the limit.

Each SKU includes one of the following service bundles:

  • FortiClient only
  • UTM
  • Enterprise
  • 360 Protection

The FortiGate gets the service bundle and bandwidth from FortiGuard after the VM license is uploaded to the FortiGate.

These examples show two of the license options:

  • UTM and 100Gbps bandwidth (unlimited bandwidth)
  • 360 Protection with 900Mbps bandwidth
Note

The 360 Protection service bundle has been discontinued.

UTM and 100Gbps

After the license is imported and validated, FortiGuard services are shown on the Status dashboard.

The CLI shows unlimited bandwidth for the license and no bandwidth for interfaces, because it is unlimited.

360 Protection and 900Mbps bandwidth

After the license is imported and validated, FortiGuard services are shown on the Status dashboard.

The CLI shows an extra 10% bandwidth for the license and interfaces, not including management interfaces:

config system interface
    edit "port1"

# diagnose netlink interface list port1

Setting the interface bandwidth

The in and out bandwidths can be configured with 10% extra bandwidth:

config system interface
    edit "port3"
        set vdom "root"
        set ip 172.16.200.173 255.255.255.0
        set allowaccess ping https ssh snmp http telnet fgfm radius-acct probe-response fabric ftm
        set type physical
        set inbandwidth 990000
        set outbandwidth 990000
        set snmp-index 3
    next
end

Setting the bandwidth too high will result in an error:

# set inbandwidth 1000000
Should be in the range of 0 - 990000.
node_check_object fail! for outbandwidth 1000000

value parse error before '1000000'
Command fail. Return code -2
