FORTINET FC-10-F100F-108-02-12 FortiGate/FortiWiFi 80F Series

FC-10-F100F-108-02-12 IPS Procurement Check

FC-10-F100F-108-02-12 is the FortiGuard Intrusion Prevention Service entitlement for one existing FortiGate 100F. It supplies IPS engine and signature updates; it does not include a firewall appliance, replacement hardware or managed policy operation.

Before Activation

The 12 suffix specifies 12 months. Align activation with the current expiry date and assign an owner for annual sensor, exception and capacity review.

Before registration, match the exact appliance serial and FortiCare account, then verify the installed FortiOS release, enabled IPS sensors, inspection mode and available capacity. Signature behavior and protocol coverage depend on the deployed configuration, not the order code alone.

• Match F100F, the exact FortiGate 100F serial and FortiCare account.
• Inventory IPS sensors, protected policies, exceptions and logging destinations.
• Verify FortiOS compatibility, inspection capacity and overlapping bundle coverage.
• Retain allowed-flow, blocked-pattern and event-delivery acceptance evidence.

Traffic and Evidence Review

The platform token F100F maps this entitlement to a diskless F-series campus edge firewall. Record the 100F serial, LAN and WAN zones, FortiLink traffic, HA state, IPS profiles, application paths and central collector for this annual entitlement.

Use the one-year review to remove exclusions tied to retired applications and departed owners. Check encrypted and uncommon protocols, branch-to-cloud flows and identity-aware policies without converting troubleshooting bypasses into permanent rules.

Annual acceptance includes a controlled IPS block, expected allowed traffic, failover logging and central event ownership. Record the next review date and exception expiries before renewal.

The 100F annual review should compare sensors with current branch applications, cloud paths and identity groups. Remove exclusions whose requester has left or whose application was retired, then test uncommon and encrypted protocols separately. Verify that failover does not interrupt event delivery to the central collector. Renewal evidence must list every remaining exception, its owner, compensating control and next review date.

Code 108 Scope

Fortinet identifies service code 108 as IPS. The service supports signature-based detection and protocol analysis for identifying and blocking malicious traffic, including malicious URL and botnet indicators used by IPS controls. It is distinct from antivirus, web filtering, hardware support and a managed SOC service.
