Fortinet FortiGate 80F-Bypass (FG-80F-Bypass) This is the 80F branch NGFW + SD-WAN platform, but with one key difference: it supports a hardware LAN bypass pair so traffic can keep flowing if the appliance loses power / fails (common requirement for must-stay-up branches). What Bypass means (in plain English) The FG-80F-Bypass can be configured with 1x bypass GE RJ45 port pair. In the datasheet, that bypass pair is WAN1 & Port1 (default configuration). Purpose: maintain link continuity during failure scenarios (helps minimize downtime during hardware/power events). Performance (Enterprise Traffic Mix) Same as the 80F family: IPS: up to 1.4 Gbps NGFW: up to 1.0 Gbps Threat Protection: up to 900 Mbps Ports / interfaces (FG-80F-Bypass) From your table: 2x GE RJ45/SFP shared media pairs (WAN flexibility: copper or fiber handoff) 6x GE RJ45 internal ports 2x GE RJ45 FortiLink ports (default) 1x USB 3.0 1x Console (RJ45) Bypass pair: (WAN1 & Port1) Also included across the series: TPM: BLE: Form factor: desktop / wall mount / rack tray Capacity & VPN (same baseline 80F platform) Firewall throughput: 10 / 10 / 7 Gbps (1518 / 512 / 64-byte UDP) Latency: 3.23 ¼s Sessions: 1.5M concurrent New sessions/sec: 45,000 IPsec VPN: 6.5 Gbps SSL-VPN throughput: 950 Mbps Recommended SSL-VPN users: 200 Max FortiAPs: 96 total / 48 tunnel Max FortiSwitches: 24 HA: Active-Active / Active-Passive / Clustering View data sheet: FortiGate FortiWiFi 80F Series Data Sheet
