FORTINET FC-10-F120G-589-02-36 FortiGate 120G Services and Subscriptions

FC-10-F120G-589-02-36 Overview

Data Loss Prevention Service provides FortiGuard DLP capabilities for identifying and controlling sensitive information flows.

This SKU is a 3 years service entitlement for an existing FortiGate 120G; it does not include hardware.

Order Composition and Delivery

This FC service code is delivered electronically against an appliance that must already exist. No chassis, power supply, antenna or replacement hardware is shipped as part of the line item. The order therefore needs the installed FortiGate serial number, current contract status, registered end customer, FortiCare account and desired start date. Check for gaps or overlaps with existing coverage before activation. A buyer who also needs a new firewall should select a hardware or BDL SKU as a separate purchasing decision.

Service Scope and Boundaries

Data Loss Prevention requires a defined information-protection policy. Identify sensitive data classes, permitted destinations, inspection boundaries and the team that handles violations before selecting the entitlement. Licensing alone does not create accurate classifiers or business exceptions. Check FortiOS support and whether traffic visibility is sufficient for the planned controls. Central logging or SOC monitoring, when needed, must be procured and configured through the appropriate complementary service.

Verified Platform Facts

• FortiGate 120G provides 16 accelerated GE RJ45 ports, separate management and HA ports, eight GE SFP slots and four 10GE SFP+ slots.
• The 1RU FG-120G has dual built-in non-hot-swappable AC power supplies and no onboard SSD.
• Fortinet lists 5.3 Gbps IPS, 3.1 Gbps NGFW and 2.8 Gbps threat-protection throughput for the 120G series.

FortiGate 120G is a 1RU rack appliance with 16 accelerated GE RJ45 switch ports, separate management and HA ports, eight GE SFP slots and four 10GE SFP+ FortiLink slots. It ships with dual built-in non-hot-swappable AC power supplies and has no onboard SSD. Rack layout, airflow, fiber optics, power feeds and HA topology should be settled before a long service commitment.

Rack acceptance should cover front-to-back airflow, both AC feeds, management and HA ports, all copper and fiber interfaces, selected optics and failover. Test the actual inspection profile against the 5.3 Gbps IPS, 3.1 Gbps NGFW and 2.8 Gbps threat-protection planning figures. Keep F120G entitlements with the rack asset and document that local SSD storage is not included.

Term and Procurement Fit

The thirty-six-month term reduces annual renewal events while keeping the contract inside a typical mid-life review window. Align the end date with the appliance support plan and security-policy review cycle. Reserve budget once for the initial three-year period, assign a contract owner, and schedule a formal service review around the middle of coverage. The review should test whether the deployment, registered owner and required controls still match the SKU before renewal planning begins in the final year.

For three-year coverage, record the full committed period in the asset register and avoid treating it as three separate annual licenses. Review registration after activation, verify service use during the first year, and perform a structured midpoint check during the second year. In the final year, compare remaining hardware life, planned site changes and current service requirements before requesting renewal pricing. Contract ownership must survive departmental budget changes because no annual purchase event will naturally remind the team.

Compatibility and Related Models

F120G service codes identify the rack-mount, diskless FortiGate 120G. Storage-equipped 121G and smaller desktop platforms use separate service families.

Warranty, Activation and Shipping

Electronic entitlement delivery requires accurate end-customer, FortiCare account, registration region, appliance serial and contract status. No physical shipment is included.
