IPS (Enterprise Mix), Application Control, NGFW and Threat Protection are measured with Logging enabled. 3. SSL Inspection performance values use an average of HTTPS sessions of different cipher suites. 4. NGFW performance is measured with Firewall, IPS and Application Control enabled. 5. Threat Protection performance is measured with Firewall, IPS, Application Control and Malware Protection enabled. | |
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary hardware acceleration benefits of the FortiGate 400E? +
The FortiGate 400E integrates the custom-built SPU NP6 and CP9 processors. These specialized hardware accelerators offload intensive firewall, VPN, and content inspection tasks from the main CPU. This architecture ensures high-throughput performance and low latency even under heavy traffic loads, making it an ideal choice for enterprise environments requiring consistent security enforcement without compromising network speed.
How many physical interfaces are available on the FortiGate 400E for flexible deployment? +
This appliance provides a versatile port density for complex network segments. It features 18 GE RJ45 ports—comprising 16 switch ports, one dedicated management port, and one high-availability port—alongside 16 dedicated GE SFP slots. This combination allows network administrators to integrate the device seamlessly into both copper and fiber-based infrastructures, facilitating robust connectivity for diverse enterprise edge or core deployments.
Is the FortiGate 400E suitable for a high-availability network cluster? +
Yes, the device is purpose-built for enterprise-grade uptime. It includes a dedicated HA port designed specifically for stateful failover configurations. By clustering two FG-400E units, you can ensure continuous network security and session synchronization, preventing service interruptions during hardware maintenance or unexpected component failures. This redundancy is critical for mission-critical business applications.
Can the FG-400E handle traffic inspection via the GE SFP slots? +
The 16 GE SFP slots are designed for high-speed connectivity, allowing you to connect directly to fiber-optic switches or core routers. These ports function as fully configurable interfaces, enabling you to apply comprehensive Next-Generation Firewall features, including deep packet inspection, application control, and intrusion prevention, across your high-speed fiber segments with the efficiency afforded by the integrated SPU hardware acceleration.
What management options does the FortiGate 400E provide for IT administrators? +
The device includes a dedicated Management (MGMT) port for out-of-band management, ensuring that administrative access remains isolated from production traffic flows. You can manage the appliance through the intuitive FortiOS graphical user interface, the robust Command Line Interface (CLI), or via FortiManager for centralized orchestration, providing administrators with granular control over security policies and real-time network visibility.
Does the FortiGate 400E support software-defined networking requirements? +
FortiGate 400E operates on FortiOS, which is built to support SD-WAN and advanced networking requirements. With its high port density and hardware-accelerated performance, it excels at managing multi-path traffic steering. This enables organizations to optimize application performance and cloud connectivity while maintaining strict security perimeters across complex, distributed enterprise network architectures.
How does the CP9 content processor enhance the FortiGate 400E performance? +
The CP9 processor is dedicated to accelerating content-intensive security tasks such as SSL/TLS inspection, deep packet inspection (DPI), and firewall policy enforcement. By offloading these resource-heavy processes, the CP9 allows the firewall to maintain high throughput even when advanced security features like IPS and application control are fully enabled, preventing bottlenecks during peak traffic cycles.
How do I determine if the FG-400E is the right model for my network capacity? +
Selecting the correct firewall depends on your peak concurrent session requirements, SSL inspection needs, and throughput demands. The FG-400E is engineered for medium-to-large enterprise deployments that need a balance of high port density and reliable hardware acceleration. We recommend analyzing your current bandwidth utilization and total concurrent user count to ensure the 400E aligns perfectly with your projected growth and security traffic profiles.
How can I obtain a bulk quote for multiple FortiGate 400E units? +
