Oct 17, 2014 - Fortigate is one of the best hardware device which can do lot of things in firewall, network security, internet. Below is the Fortigate device 80C in switch mode. Use serial cable and any telnet client software for this purpose.

The cited switches do not only have a throughput of 88 Gbps (424D) and 176 Gbps (448D) but also feature 2/4 10GE ports for uplinks. In comparison, the maximum throughput of a FGT-200E is rated at 20 Gbps, 9 Gbps for small packets (64b). In order to use a Fortigate as a backbone switch it would need to have 10GE ports; aggregating ports in a LACP trunk will be not as efficient and will exhaust the available ports (14 on a FGT-200E). The main reason I advise against this deployment pattern is that the main advantage of having a UTM firewall, namely protection via AV, IPS, Application Control etc., will have to be sacrificed for speed. The FGT is meant to manage the Fortiswitches in your LAN; as such it's very convenient (e.g., VLAN handling), powerful and you can even extend the security perimeter to your access ports. Just keep in mind that the whole infrastructure will be as powerful as the weakest part, and that would be the FGT if used as a backbone switch. If you use a Fortiswitch for backbone and manage and monitor all switches from the built-in FGT switch controller, all is fine.

Looks good: FortiGate units can be used to remotely manage FortiSwitch units, which is also known as using a FortiSwitch in FortiLink mode. FortiLink defines the management interface and the remote management protocol between the FortiGate and FortiSwitch. EDIT after @user1016274's very reasonable comments: Using a switch (the FGT-200E) with only gigabit ports as core may severely limit the overall throughput of your network. Even aggregating multiple GbE ports won't enable you to run multi-gigabit flows across the switch. You should look into options using the FGT as controller only and connecting the faster switches directly.

I'm looking at replacing my watchguard xtm505 UTM package because the subscription is up and I've pretty much narrowed it down to either replacing it with their xtm 330 box or move to fortinet. I want to keep the features I use on the watchguard solution and I THINK the fortigate-92D, but I just don't know. I want to meet our needs, but I also don't want to spend more than I have to My requirements are as follows: 2x WAN connections (assume each are ~40/40Mb) - want to load balance outbound and have rules based on inbound (each WAN has multiple static IPs) 2x physical boxes run in active/passive cluster for hardware failover UTM functions similar to watchguard's webblocker, spamblocker, and A/V VLAN support VPN access to a fixed site running a dynamic IP with a watchguard x26 box VPN access for a dozen remote mobile users mostly running windows and iPhones.

(currently mostly using the watchguard SSLVPN option and PPTP option) I use the firewall as our gateway for all vlans and would prefer to do this, but I suppose I could do this with one of our switches, but I like the added control of L3 I get doing it on the firewall. I currently have the firewalls configured to have our vlans split across three trusted ports on each firewall to provide some increased throughput, but 1Gb bandwidth for the gateway could be sufficient. When I looked at those requirements and the performance load on our existing xtm505's, I found I could get away with a cheaper watchguard box that would meet our needs (the xtm330).

Some people love to bash the Watchguard system here, but I haven't really had a major problem with it, but that doesn't mean I'm not open to alternatives. Watchguard used to seem to be the best bang for the buck, but I'm open to ideas here. I'm looking for a 3-year UTM option and that comes out to about $2100 through watchguard with my minimal purchasing power so any alternative needs to be close to that price. Thanks for the help. We run a few Fortigate clusters in similar setups as you've specified.
