FortiSwitch-5003 system
The FortiSwitch-5003 system
provides base backplane
communication between
FortiGate security boards installed in FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis.
Base backplane communication can be used for HA heartbeat communication
and for data communication. The FortiSwitch-5003 board can also provide HA
heartbeat and data communication between chassis. The FortiSwitch-5003 board
is only used in FortiGate-5140 and FortiGate-5050 chassis. For details about the
FortiSwitch-5003 board, see “FortiSwitch-5003 system” on page 61.
FortiGate-5005-DIST security system
The FortiGate-5005-DIST security system is
very similar to a single FortiGate unit, but with
much higher capacity and with support for
failover protection and scalability. The
FortiGate-5005-DIST security system consists
of a FortiGate-5050 or FortiGate-5140 chassis
with one or two Input/Output or I/O boards
(FortiController-5208 boards) and one or more worker boards (FortiGate-5005FA2
boards running in DIST mode). The I/O boards provide 10 gigabit and 1gigabit
network connections and distribute traffic to the worker boards. The worker
boards provide FortiGate security system functions including firewall, VPN, IPS,
antivirus, antispam, and so on. For details about the FortiGate-5005-DIST security
system, see “The FortiGate-5005-DIST security system” on page 67.
FortiController-5208 system
An integral part of a
FortiGate-5005-DIST Security
System, the FortiController-5208
board provides all Fortigate-5005-DIST 10gigabit and 1 gigabit network
interfaces. The FortiContro0ller-5208 board also provides the management
interface to the FortiGate-5005-DIST system and controls backplane
communication between all FortiGate-5005-DIST components.
You can create a FortiGate-5005-DIST high-throughput multi-threat network
security system using one or two FortiGate boards and multiple FortiGate-5005
boards in a FortiGate-5050 or FortiGate-5140 chassis. A FortiGate-5020 chassis
cannot be used to create a FortiGate-5005-DIST system. Functionally, one or two
FortiGate boards using the processing power of multiple FortiGate-5005 boards
function much like a single FortiGate unit, but with far greater capacity. For details
about the FortiController-55208 board, see “FortiController-5208 system” on
page 73.

FortiGate-5140 chassis
You can install up to 14 FortiGate-5000 series boards in the 14 front panel slots of the
FortiGate-5140 ATCA chassis. The FortiGate-5140 is a 12U chassis that contains two
redundant hot swappable DC power entry modules that connect to -48 VDC Data Center
DC power. The FortiGate-5140 chassis also includes three hot swappable cooling fan
trays. If all 14 front panel slots contain FortiGate-5005A2, FortiGate-5001SX, or
FortiGate-5001FA2 boards the FortiGate-5140 chassis provides a total of 112 1-Gigabit
ethernet FortiGate interfaces. If all 14 slots contain FortiGate-5001A boards the
FortiGate-5140 chassis supports 28 1-Gigabit ethernet FortiGate interfaces. If you add
FortiGate-ADM-XB2 modules to the FortiGate-5001A boards the FortiGate-5140 chassis
supports another 28 10-Gigabit interfaces.
You can also install a FortiSwitch-5003A or FortiSwitch-5003 board in the FortiGate-5140
chassis to provide base backplane communications. Base backplane communications can
be used for HA heartbeat communications and for data communications. You can add a
second FortiSwitch-5003A or FortiSwitch-5003 board for redundancy. FortiSwitch-5003A
boards can also provide fabric backplane communication using the FortiGate-5140 fabric
backplane channels.
You can mix and match any combination of FortiGate-5000 series boards in the
FortiGate-5140 chassis. For example, you could install four FortiGate-5005FA2 boards,
four FortiGate-5001SX boards, and four FortiGate-5001FA2 boards. You can also install
FortiController-5208 and FortiGate-5005FA2 boards in a FortiGate-5140 chassis to create

FortiGate-5050 chassis
FortiGate-5050 chassis
You can install up to five FortiGate-5000 series boards in the five slots of the
FortiGate-5050 ATCA chassis. The FortiGate-5050 is a 5U 19-inch rackmount ATCA
chassis that contains two redundant DC power connections that connect to -48 VDC Data
Center DC power. The FortiGate-5050 chassis also includes a hot swappable cooling fan
tray. If all five slots contain FortiGate-5005FA2, FortiGate-5001SX, or FortiGate-5001FA2
boards, the FortiGate-5050 chassis provides a total of 40 1-Gigabit ethernet FortiGate
interfaces. If all 5 slots contain FortiGate-5001A boards the FortiGate-5050 chassis
supports 10 1-Gigabit ethernet FortiGate interfaces. If you add FortiGate-ADM-XB2
modules to the FortiGate-5001A boards the FortiGate-5050 chassis supports up to ten
10-Gigabit interfaces
You can also install FortiSwitch-5003A or FortiSwitch-5003 boards in the FortiGate-5050
chassis slots 1 and 2 to provide base backplane communications. Base backplane
communications can be used for HA heartbeat communications and data communications
using FortiGate-5050 base backplane channels. You can add a second FortiSwitch-5003A
or FortiSwitch-5003 board for redundancy. FortiSwitch-5003A boards can also provide
fabric backplane communication using the FortiGate-5050 fabric backplane channels.
You can mix and match any combination of FortiGate-5000 series boards in the
FortiGate-5050 chassis. For example, you could install two FortiGate-5005FA2 boards,
two FortiGate-5001SX boards, and one FortiGate-5001FA2 board. You can also install
FortiController-5208 and FortiGate-5005FA2 boards in a FortiGate-5050 chassis to create
a FortiGate-5005-DIST security system.
Some of the boards installed in a FortiGate-5050 chassis can be operating in a FortiGate
HA cluster and some can be operating as standalone FortiGate units. You can also
operate multiple HA clusters and standalone FortiGate units in a single FortiGate-5050
chassis. You can also use FortiSwitch-5003A or FortiSwitch-5003 boards to operate HA
clusters consisting of FortiGate-5000 series boards installed in multiple FortiGate-5000
chassis. You can also use FortiSwitch-5003A boards for fabric data communication
between chassis.
The FortiGate-5050 chassis requires -48VDC Data Center DC power. If DC power is not
available you can install a FortiGate-5053 power converter tray (purchased separately)
with FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies.

FortiGate-5020 chassis
You can install one or two FortiGate-5000 series boards in the two slots of the
FortiGate-5020 ATCA chassis. The FortiGate-5020 is a 4U chassis that contains
two redundant AC to DC power supplies that connect to AC power. The
FortiGate-5020 chassis also includes an internal cooling fan tray. If both slots
contain FortiGate-5000 boards, the FortiGate-5020 chassis provides up to 16
FortiGate gigabit ethernet interfaces.
If you install the same FortiGate-5000 series board in both slots, you can
configure the boards to operate as an HA cluster. HA heartbeat communications
between the boards uses the FortiGate-5020 base backplane communication
channel. No extra switching or other connections are required.
You can also use the base backplane channels for data communication between
the FortiGate-5000 series boards installed in the FortiGate-5020 chassis. You can
configure base backplane communication between two identical FortiGate-5000
series boards (for example between two FortiGate-5001SX boards) or between
different FortiGate-5000 series boards (for example, between a FortiGate-5001SX
and a FortiGate-5005FA2 board) as long as both boards use the same base
backplane channel.
The FortiGate-5020 chassis can only be connected to AC power. Two redundant
FortiGate-5020/5050 power supplies are factory installed in the FortiGate-5020
chassis.

FortiGate-5001A security system
FortiGate-5001A security system
The FortiGate-5001A security system is a high-performance Advanced
Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ACTA) compliant FortiGate security
system that can be installed in any ACTA chassis including the FortiGate-5140,
FortiGate-5050, or FortiGate-5020 chassis.
Two FortiGate-5001A models are available:
•The FortiGate-5001A-DW (double-width) board includes a double-width
Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) opening. You can install a supported
FortiGate AMC Double width Module (ADM) such as the FortiGate-ADM-XB2
or the FortiGate-ADM-FB8 in the AMC opening. The FortiGate-ADM-XB2 adds
two accelerated 10-gigabit interfaces to the FortiGate-5001A board and the
FortiGate-ADM-FB8 adds 8 accelerated 1-gigabit interfaces.
•The FortiGate-5001A-SW (single-width) includes a single-width AMC opening.
You can install a supported FortiGate AMC Single width Module (ASM) such
as the FortiGate-ASM-FB4 or the FortiGate-ASM-S08 in the AMC opening.
The FortiGate-ASM-FB4 adds four accelerated 1-gigabit interfaces to the
FortiGate-5001A board and the FortiGate-ADM-S08 adds a removable hard
disk that you can use to store log files and content archives.
Other than the double-width and single-width AMC openings, the
FortiGate-5001A-DW and SW models have the same functionality and
performance.
The FortiGate-5001A security system contains two front panel 1-gigabit ethernet
interfaces, two base backplane 1-gigabit interfaces, and two fabric backplane
1-gigabit interfaces. Use the front panel interfaces for connections to your
networks and the backplane interfaces for communication across the ACTA
chassis backplane.
If you install a FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module for each FortiGate-5001A board, the
FortiGate-5001A fabric interfaces can operate at 10 Gbps. The
FortiGate-RTM-XB2 also provides NP2-accelerated network processing for
eligible traffic passing through the FortiGate-RTM-XB2 interfaces.
You can also configure two or more FortiGate-5001A boards to create a high
availability (HA) cluster using the base or fabric backplane interfaces for HA
heartbeat communication through the chassis backplane, leaving front panel
interfaces available for network connections.
Note: In most cases the base backplane interfaces are used for HA heartbeat
communication and the fabric backplane interfaces are used for data communication.
The FortiGate-5001A board also supports high-end FortiGate features including
802.1Q VLANs, multiple virtual domains, 802.3ad aggregate interfaces, and
FortiOS Carrier.

The FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module provides two 10-gigabit fabric backplane
interfaces and NP2 processor acceleration for FortiGate-5001A fabric interfaces.
For 10-gigabit fabric backplane communications, each FortiGate-5001A board
requires one FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module. The FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module is an
ATCA rear transition module (RTM) that installs into an RTM slot at the back of a
FortiGate-5140 and FortiGate-5050 chassis.
To support 10-gigabit fabric backplane communications your FortiGate-5140 or
FortiGate-5050 chassis must also include one or more FortiSwitch-5003A boards
or other 10-gigabit fabric backplane switching boards installed in the chassis in
fabric slots 1 and 2.
Note: On some versions of the FortiGate-5001A firmware, when a FortiGate-5001A board
starts up with a FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module installed, the fabric1 and fabric2 interfaces are
replaced with interfaces that are named RTM/1 and RTM/2 to indicate the presence of the
FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module. Configuration settings that include the fabric1 and fabric2
interface names will have to be changed to use the RTM/1 and RTM/2 interface names.

FortiGate-RTM-XB2 system
The FortiGate-RTM-XB2 system provides two 10-gigabit fabric backplane
interfaces and NP2 processor acceleration for FortiGate-5001A boards installed
in FortiGate-5140 and FortiGate-5050 chassis.
The FortiGate-RTM-XB2 is an ATCA rear transition module (RTM) that installs
into an RTM slot at the back of a FortiGate-5140 and FortiGate-5050 chassis. You
must install one FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module for each FortiGate-5001A board.
Each chassis front panel slot has a corresponding RTM slot. The
FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module must be installed in the RTM slot that corresponds to
the front panel slot in which you will install a FortiGate-5001A board. For example,
if the FortiGate-5001A board will be installed in front panel slot 3, install the
FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module for this board in RTM slot 3.
Caution: To avoid damaging components, you should install the FortiGate-RTM-XB2
module first before you install the corresponding FortiGate-5001A board. If you have
already installed the FortiGate-5001A board, you should remove it before installing the
FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module. Except for this limitation, FortiGate-RTM-XB2 modules are
hot swappable.
The FortiGate-RTM-XB2 NP2 processors provide hardware accelerated network
processing for eligible traffic passing through the FortiGate-RTM-XB2 interfaces.
Each FortiGate-RTM-XB2 interface is connected to an NP2 processor and the
NP2 processors are connected by an Enhanced Extension Interface (EEI). The
FortiGate-RTM-XB2 can accelerate eligible traffic that enters and exits the same
FortiGate-RTM-XB2 interface or that enters one FortiGate-RTM-XB2 interface
and exits the other. For more information about Fortinet NP2 processor
acceleration, see the Fortinet Hardware Acceleration Technical Note.

Note: On some versions of the FortiGate-5001A firmware, when a FortiGate-5001A board
starts up with a FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module installed, the fabric1 and fabric2 interfaces are
replaced with interfaces that are named RTM/1 and RTM/2 to indicate the presence of the
FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module. Configuration settings that include the fabric1 and fabric2
interface names will have to be changed to use the RTM/1 and RTM/2 interface names.

Accelerated packet forwarding and policy enforcement
FortiGate-5005FA2 Accelerated packet forwarding and policy enforcement results
in accelerated small packet performance required for voice, video, and other
multimedia streaming applications. The following traffic scenarios are
recommended for the accelerated interfaces:
•Small packet applications, such as voice over IP (VoIP).
The FortiGate-5005FA2 accelerated interfaces provide wire speed
performance for small packet applications.
•Latency sensitive applications, such as multimedia.
The FortiGate-5005FA2 accelerated interfaces add much less latency than
normal (non-accelerated) interfaces.
•Session Oriented Traffic with long session lifetime, such as FTP sessions.
Packet size does not affect performance for traffic with long session lifetime.
For long sessions, processing that would otherwise be handled by the
FortiGate-5005FA2 CPUs is off-loaded to the acceleration module.

The following traffic scenarios should be handled by the normal (or nonaccelerated) FortiGate-5005FA2 interfaces:
•Session oriented traffic when the session lifetime is very short.
•Firewall and antivirus only applications.
Traffic will not be off-loaded to the FortiGate-5005FA2 accelerator module. The
result will be high CPU usage because of the high CPU requirement for
antivirus scanning.
FA2 interfaces and active-active HA performance
FortiOS v3.0 MR4 firmware can also use FA2 acceleration to improve
active-active HA load balancing performance. See the FortiGate HA Overview or
the FortiGate HA Guide for more information.
Base backplane gigabit communication
The FortiGate-5005FA2 base1 and base2 backplane gigabit interfaces can be
used for HA heartbeat communication between FortiGate-5005FA2 boards
installed in the same or in different FortiGate-5000 chassis. You can also
configure FortiGate-5005FA2 boards to use the base backplane interfaces for
data communication between FortiGate boards. To support base backplane
communications your FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis must include one
or more FortiSwitch-5003 boards. FortiSwitch-5003 boards are installed in chassis
slots 1 and 2. The FortiGate-5020 chassis supports base backplane
communication with no additions or changes to the chassis.
For information about base backplane communication in FortiGate-5140 and
FortiGate-5050 chassis, see the FortiGate-5000 Base Backplane Communication
Guide. For information about the FortiSwitch-5003 board, see the
FortiSwitch-5003 Guide.
FortiGate-5005-DIST security system
You can install FortiGate-5005FA2 boards as worker boards in a
FortiGate-5005-DIST security system. Worker boards apply FortiGate security
system functionality such as applying firewall policies, virus scanning, IPS and
routing to distributed traffic.
For complete information about the FortiGate-5005-DIST security system and the
role of worker boards, see the FortiGate-5005-DIST Security System
Administration Guide.

Base backplane gigabit interfaces
The FortiGate-5001SX port9 and port10 base backplane gigabit interfaces can be
used for HA heartbeat communication between FortiGate-5001SX boards
installed in the same or in different FortiGate-5000 chassis. You can also
configure FortiGate-5001SX boards to use the base backplane interfaces for data
communication between FortiGate boards. To support base backplane
communications your FortiGate-5140 or 5050 chassis must include one or more
FortiSwitch-5003 boards. FortiSwitch-5003 boards are installed in chassis slots 1
and 2. The FortiGate-5020 chassis supports base backplane communication with
no additions or changes to the chassis.
For information about base backplane communication in FortiGate-5140 and
FortiGate-5050 chassis, see the FortiGate-5000 Base Backplane Communication
Guide. For information about the FortiSwitch-5003 board, see the
FortiSwitch-5003 Guide.

FortiSwitch-5003A system
FortiSwitch-5003A system
The FortiSwitch-5003A board provides 10/1-gigabit fabric backplane channel
layer-2 switching and 1-gigabit base backplane channel layer-2 switching in a
dual star architecture for the FortiGate-5140 and FortiGate-5050 chassis. The
FortiSwitch-5003A board provides a total capacity of 200 Gigabits per second
(Gbps) throughput.
The FortiGate-5140 chassis is a 14-slot ATCA chassis and the FortiGate-5050
chassis is a 5-slot ATCA chassis. In both chassis the FortiSwitch-5003A board is
installed in the first and second hub/switch fabric slots. For most versions of the
FortiGate-5140 and 5050 chassis the hub/switch fabric slots are slots 1 and 2. For
more information about these chassis see the FortiGate-5140 Chassis Guide and
the FortiGate-5140 Chassis Guide.
You can use the FortiSwitch-5003A board for fabric and base backplane layer-2
switching for FortiGate-5000 boards installed in slots 3 and up in FortiGate-5140
and FortiGate-5050 chassis. Usually you would use the base channel for
management traffic (for example, HA heartbeat traffic) and the fabric channel for
data traffic. FortiSwitch-5003A boards can be used for fabric and base backplane
layer-2 switching within a single chassis and between multiple chassis.
The FortiSwitch-5003A system also supports 802.3ad static mode layer-2 link
aggregation, 802.1q VLANs, and 802.1s Multi-Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) for
the fabric channels. You can use these features to configure link aggregation and
support redundant FortiSwitch-5003A switch configurations to distribute traffic to
multiple FortiGate-5000 boards. The FortiGate-5000 boards must operate in
Transparent mode, all are managed separately and all must have the same
configuration.
A FortiSwitch-5003A board in hub/switch fabric slot 1 provides communications
on fabric channel 1 and base channel 1. A FortiSwitch-5003A board in hub/switch
fabric slot 2 provides communications on fabric channel 2 and base channel 2. If
your chassis includes one FortiSwitch-5003A board you can install it in hub/switch
fabric slot 1 or 2 and configure the FortiGate-5000 boards installed in the chassis
to use the correct fabric and base backplane interfaces.
For a complete 10-gigabit fabric backplane solution you must install
FortiGate-5000 hardware that supports 10-gigabit connections. For example, a
FortiGate-5001A board combined with a FortiGate-RTM-XB2 module provides
two 10-gigabit fabric interfaces. You can install the FortiGate-5001A boards in
chassis slots 3 and up and FortiGate-RTM-XB2 modules in the corresponding
RTM slots on the back of the chassis.
The FortiSwitch-5003A board includes the following features:
•One 1-gigabit base backplane channel for layer-2 base backplane switching
between FortiGate-5000 boards installed in the same chassis as the
FortiSwitch-5003A
•One 10/1-gigabit fabric backplane channel for layer-2 fabric backplane
switching between FortiGate-5000 boards installed in the same chassis as the
FortiSwitch-5003A
•Two front panel base backplane one-gigabit copper gigabit interfaces (B1 and
B2) that connect to the base backplane channel

FortiSwitch-5003 system
The FortiSwitch-5003 board provides base backplane interface switching for the
FortiGate-5140 chassis and the FortiGate-5050 chassis. You can use this
switching for data communication or HA heartbeat communication between the
base backplane interfaces of FortiGate-5000 series boards installed in slots 3 and
up in these chassis. FortiSwitch-5003 boards can be used for base backplane
communication in a single chassis or between multiple chassis.
Install FortiSwitch-5003 boards in chassis slots 1 and 2. A FortiSwitch-5003 board
in slot 1 provides communications on base backplane interface 1. A
FortiSwitch-5003 board in slot 2 provides communications on base backplane
interface 2.
If your configuration includes only one FortiSwitch-5003 board you can install it in
slot 1 or slot 2 and configure the FortiGate-5000 boards installed in the chassis to
use the correct base backplane interface.
The FortiSwitch-5003 board includes the following features:
•A total of 16 10/100/1000Base-T gigabit ethernet interfaces:
•13 backplane 10/100/1000Base-T gigabit interfaces for base backplane
switching between FortiGate-5000 series boards installed in the same
chassis as the FortiSwitch-5003
•Three front panel 10/100/1000Base-T gigabit interfaces (ZRE0, ZRE1,
ZRE2) for base backplane switching between two or more FortiGate-5000
series chassis
•One 100Base-TX out of band management ethernet interface (ETH0)
•RJ-45 RS-232 serial console connection (CONSOLE)
•Mounting hardware
•LED status indicators

Base backplane communications
This section provides a brief introduction to using FortiSwitch-5003 boards for
base backplane communication.
FortiSwitch-5003 boards installed in a FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis
in slot 1 or slot 2 provide base backplane switching for all of the FortiGate-5000
series boards installed in chassis slots 3 and above. Base backplane switching
can be used for HA heartbeat communication and for data communication
between FortiGate-5000 series boards.
The FortiGate-5000 series boards can all be installed in the same chassis, or you
can use the FortiSwitch-5003 front panel ZRE interfaces for base backplane
communication among multiple FortiGate-5140 and FortiGate-5050 chassis. The
communication can be among a collection of the same chassis (for example,
multiple FortiGate-5050 chassis) or among a mixture of FortiGate-5140 and
FortiGate-5050 chassis. In most cases you would connect the same base
backplane interfaces together, but you can also use the FortiSwitch-5003 front
panel ZRE interfaces for connections between base backplane interface 1 and
base backplane interface 2. Again these connections can be within the same
chassis or among multiple chassis.
A FortiSwitch-5003 board in slot 1 provides communications on base backplane
interface 1. The FortiGate-5001SX and the FortiGate-5001FA2 boards
communicate with base backplane interface 1 using the interface named port9.
The FortiGate-5005FA2 board communicates with base backplane interface 1
using the interface named base1.
A FortiSwitch-5003 board in slot 2 provides communications on base backplane
interface 2. The FortiGate-5001SX and the FortiGate-5001FA2 boards
communicate with base backplane interface 2 using the interface named port10.
The FortiGate-5005FA2 board communicates with base backplane interface 2
using the interface named base2.
FortiGate-5000 Series Introduction
6401-30000-83466-20090108
FortiSwitch-5003 system Base backplane communications
In a single chassis, more than one cluster can use the same base backplane
interface for HA heartbeat communication. To separate heartbeat communication
for multiple clusters on the same base backplane interface, configure a different
HA group name and password for each cluster.
In a single chassis, you can also use the same base backplane interface for data
and HA heartbeat communication. If you are operating multiple clusters and
multiple data paths on the same base backplane interface you may experience
some bandwidth limitations. To increase the amount of bandwidth available you
can add a second FortiSwitch-5003 board and use both backplane interfaces for
HA heartbeat and data communication.
If you have two FortiSwitch-5003 boards and two backplane interfaces available
you can balance the traffic between the base backplane interfaces by how you
configure your FortiGate-5000 board data interfaces and HA heartbeat interfaces.
For example, if you have two busy FortiGate-5001SX clusters you might configure
one cluster to use port9 for HA heartbeat traffic and the other to use port10. If you
have a number of data paths that use the same base backplane interfaces you
can change the configuration to distribute traffic between both base backplane
interfaces.

The FortiGate-5005-DIST security
system
The FortiGate-5005-DIST security system is very similar to a single FortiGate unit,
but with much higher capacity and with support for failover protection and
scalability. The FortiGate-5005-DIST security system consists of a FortiGate-5050
or FortiGate-5140 chassis with one or two Input/Output or I/O boards
(FortiController-5208 boards) and one or more worker boards (FortiGate-5005FA2
boards running in DIST mode). The I/O boards provide 10-gigabit and 1-gigabit
network connections and distribute traffic to the worker boards. The worker
boards provide FortiGate security system functions including firewall, VPN, IPS,
antivirus, antispam, and so on.
The following topics are included in this section:
•Basic FortiGate security system configuration
•FortiController-5208 I/O boards
•FortiGate-5005FA2 worker boards
•FortiGate-5005-DIST security system chassis
•FortiGate-5005-DIST interface names
Basic FortiGate security system configuration
A basic FortiGate security system consists of a single FortiController-5208 board
and four FortiGate-5005 boards installed in a FortiGate-5050 or FortiGate-5140
chassis (see Figure 29 on page 68). This system can be installed in NAT/Route
mode between the Internet and a private network. In this configuration, the
FortiGate-5005-DIST security system can provide FortiGate services to 10 gigabit
traffic passing between the private network and the Internet.

FortiController-5208 I/O boards
Data flows into and out of the FortiGate-5005-DIST system through the I/O
boards. The I/O boards are FortiController-5208 boards installed in chassis slots 1
and 2 in a FortiGate-5050 or FortiGate-5140 chassis. The I/O board installed in
slot 1 is configured as the primary I/O board. The optional I/O board installed in
slot 2 becomes the secondary I/O board. A FortiGate-5005-DIST system can
include one or two I/O boards.
As the I/O board, the FortiController-5208 provides all FortiGate-5005-DIST
network connections. The FortiController-5208 board provides two 10 gigabit
interfaces and four 1 gigabit interfaces for network traffic. The FortiController-5208
front panel also contains four 1 gigabit interfaces. Two of these interfaces support
inter-chassis HA and two are for future use. Adding a second FortiController-5208
board doubles the number of FortiGate-5005-DIST network interfaces.

The FortiGate-5005-DIST security system FortiGate-5005FA2 worker boards
FortiGate-5005FA2 worker boards
The FortiGate-5005FA2 security system serves as the worker board for the
FortiGate-5005-DIST security system. Worker boards are identically configured
and administered as a single unit from the primary I/O board. Workers are
typically installed in slots 3 and above, though FortiGate-5005FA2 security
systems with only one I/O board can also have a worker installed in slot 2.
The worker boards apply all of the FortiGate security system functionality to traffic
passing through the FortiGate-5005-DIST security system. Traffic is distributed to
the worker boards by the I/O boards. The worker boards perform FortiGate
functions such as applying firewall policies, virus scanning, IPS and routing to
distributed traffic.

FortiGate-5005-DIST interface names
The FortiGate-5005-DIST worker web-based manager and CLI use an internal
naming convention to name FortiGate-5005-DIST interfaces. The interface names
indicate the I/O board containing the interface and also include the I/O board front
panel interface name. The naming convention is:
port<I/O_board_number>_<I/O_board_interface_name>
where:
<I/O_board_number> is 1 for the interfaces of the primary I/O board installed in
chassis slot 1 and 2 for the interfaces of the secondary I/O board installed in
chassis slot 2. The interfaces for the secondary I/O board only appear in the
web-based manager and CLI when a secondary I/O board is installed.
<I/O_board_interface_name> is the name of the interface as shown on the
FortiController-5208 front panel.

FortiGate-5000 Series Introduction
7201-30000-83466-20090108
FortiController-5208 system
FortiController-5208 system
You can create a FortiGate-5005-DIST high-throughput multi-threat network
security system using one or two FortiController-5208 boards and multiple
FortiGate-5005 boards in a FortiGate-5050 or FortiGate-5140 chassis.
A FortiGate-5020 chassis cannot be used to create a FortiGate-5005-DIST
system. Functionally, one or two FortiController-5208 boards using the processing
power of multiple FortiGate-5005 boards function much like a single FortiGate
unit, but with far greater capacity.
In a FortiGate-5005-DIST configuration, the FortiGate-5005FA2 boards are used
only for their processing power. The FortiController-5208 assigns tasks to each
FortiGate-5005FA2 board and provides all external connections to the network.
Given this division of labor, the FortiController-5208 board is also called the
I/O board and the FortiGate-5005FA2 boards are also called the worker boards.
The FortiController-5208 board provides two 10 gigabit interfaces and four
1 gigabit interfaces for network traffic. The FortiController-5208 front panel also
contains an additional four 1-gigabit interfaces for inter-chassis HA and future
use. Optionally, you can double the number of available of network interfaces by
adding a second FortiController-5208.
Once initial set-up is complete, all subsequent administration and configuration of
the FortiController-5208 boards and FortiGate-5005 boards is done through the
primary FortiController-5208 board.
The FortiGate-5005 boards are administered as a single unit, and therefore
configured identically. All traffic is distributed to the FortiGate boards using the
backplane interfaces so no front panel connections are required for the FortiGate
boards.
The FortiController-5208 board includes the following features:
•Two 10 gigabit interfaces that can accept fiber or copper 10 gigabit Small Form
factor Pluggable (XFP) fiber or copper transceivers.
•Eight 1 gigabit front panel network interfaces that can accept Small Form
factor Pluggable (SFP) fiber or copper transceivers. Four of these interfaces
are for data, two for inter-chassis high-availability (HA) connections, and two
for future use.
•One fabric and two base backplane gigabit interfaces.
•Two RJ-45 RS-232 serial console management connections.
•An RJ-45 Ethernet management connection.
•Mounting hardware
•LED status indicators
Before you can connect any FortiController-5208 front panel interfaces, you must
insert the XFP or SFP transceivers into the FortiController-5208 front panel cage
slots.
This chapter includes the following information about the FortiController-5208
board:
•Front panel LEDs and connectors
•Backplane gigabit interfaces
•Installing XFP and SFP transceivers

From the FortiController-5208 front panel you can view the status of the board
LEDs to verify that the board is functioning normally. LEDs also indicate
connections and traffic for the front panel and backplane interfaces. You also
connect the FortiController-5208 board to your network through the front panel
XFP and SFP connections. The front panel also includes two RJ-45 serial console
ports for connecting to the FortiController-5208 CLI and an Ethernet RJ-45 port for
connecting to the CLI and GUI management interfaces over a network.

5140 chassis. LEDs 15 and 16 are for the HA ports
D15/D16 on the front panel. Due to the organization
of the backplane, LED 2 will always be off, even if
an operating FortiController-5208 is in slot 2.

the connected equipment has power.
The control LEDs of a secondary FortiController-5208 board will be synchronized
to the control LEDs of the primary because all the installed boards use the same
fabric backplane network to communicate. Each FortiController-5208 board has
its own base backplane network with which to exchange data traffic with the
worker boards so the data LEDs of each FortiController-5208 board will indicate
only its own communication.

Backplane gigabit interfaces
The FortiController-5208 board uses the chassis backplane gigabit interfaces for
all communication with boards installed in the chassis. This communication
includes:
•Management communication between the primary FortiController-5208, the
optional secondary FortiController-5208, and the FortiGate-5005FA2 boards.
•Delivery of traffic data to the FortiGate-5005FA2 boards for processing.
•Receiving processed traffic from the FortiGate-5005FA2 boards.
•If installed, the secondary FortiController-5208 board also delivers data traffic
to the FortiGate-5005FA2 boards and receives the processed traffic from them.
No front panel cables are required for connections between the installed boards.
Once the FortiController-5208 board is configured as the primary, and the
FortiGate-5005FA2 boards are configured to use the LDB firmware, all
communication between the installed boards is automatic and requires no
configuration.
