Fortinet FortiGate 100F Series (FG-100F / FG-101F / HA SKUs) Branch / mid-market NGFW + Secure SD-WAN + Segmentation in 1RU, with lots of copper + 10G FortiLink uplinks. The FortiGate 100F Series is a strong fit for: SMB / mid-market head offices and branches Secure SD-WAN (multi-WAN, application steering) All-in-one edge: NGFW + IPS + SSL inspection + segmentation Sites that want many RJ45 ports + 10G FortiLink for FortiSwitch integration At-a-glance performance (Enterprise Traffic Mix) IPS: 2.6 Gbps NGFW: 1.6 Gbps Threat Protection: 1.0 Gbps SSL Inspection (IPS avg HTTPS): 1.0 Gbps IPsec VPN (512B): 11.5 Gbps SSL-VPN: 1.0 Gbps Plain English: good for branch workloads and moderate inspection, but not a data centre throughput box like 200G/700G/900G. Ports & interfaces (what customers care about) From the hardware + ordering section you pasted: 22 x GE RJ45 total (includes 2x WAN, DMZ, Mgmt, 2x HA, and 16x switch ports) 4 x GE SFP 2 x 10GE SFP+ FortiLink (default) 4 x GE RJ45/SFP shared media pairs (handy flexibility) This is a great edge aggregation layout: lots of copper ports for users/APs/switch uplinks plus 10G for FortiLink. Model differences (important for SKU selection) FG-100F: no onboard storage FG-101F: 1x 480GB SSD (useful for local logging / reporting scenarios) HA SKU: FG-100F-HA: must be purchased in pairs, and enables a single service contract to cover the HA pair (per the text you provided). Core capacity & scale Firewall throughput (1518/512/64 UDP): 20 / 18 / 10 Gbps Concurrent sessions: 1.5 million New sessions/sec: 56,000 Firewall policies: 10,000 VDOMs: 10 / 10 FortiSwitch support: 32 FortiAP support: 128 total / 64 tunnel Recommended SSL-VPN users: 500 Hardware notes Uses Secure SD-WAN ASIC SP4 (Fortinet acceleration for app ID/steering + IPsec + SSL inspection improvements) Dual AC power supplies, but non-hot swappable (still redundant, just not swap live) View data sheet: FortiGate 100F Series Data Sheet
