Product Description
Fortinet FortiGate FG-40F – Compact Next-Generation Firewall
The Fortinet FortiGate FG-40F is a compact security appliance designed to combine network protection, secure connectivity and SD-WAN capabilities in one easy-to-deploy platform.
The FG-40F provides 5 hardware-accelerated Gigabit RJ45 ports, consisting of 1 WAN/DMZ port, 3 internal network ports and 1 FortiLink port by default. It also includes a USB port and RJ45 console port. Unlike the FortiWiFi 40F, the FG-40F does not include an integrated wireless interface.
High-Speed Firewall Performance
Fortinet’s published specifications list up to 5 Gbps IPv4 firewall throughput across 1518-, 512- and 64-byte UDP traffic. In addition, the FG-40F provides up to 1 Gbps IPS throughput, 800 Mbps NGFW throughput and 600 Mbps threat-protection throughput. These are maximum published performance figures and actual results depend on traffic and security configuration.
