FORTINET FC-10-F80FD-112-02-36 FortiGate 80F-DSL Services and Subscriptions

FC-10-F80FD-112-02-36 Overview

URL, DNS and Video Filtering provides category and reputation services for URL, DNS and video policy enforcement.

This SKU is a 3 years service entitlement for an existing FortiGate 80F-DSL; 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

URL, DNS and Video Filtering supports policy decisions based on requested destinations and content categories. The buyer should document which user groups, DNS paths and video controls are in scope, then confirm that the planned policy can be enforced on the target FortiGate. This service should not be described as IPS, malware sandboxing or support coverage. A bundle comparison is appropriate when several separate FortiGuard controls will be purchased together.

Verified Platform Facts

• FortiGate 80F-DSL has eight GE RJ45 ports, two RJ45/SFP shared-media WAN pairs and one dedicated DSL RJ11 port.
• Its embedded modem supports documented xDSL modes including VDSL2, ADSL2 and ADSL2+.
• The 80F series specification lists 1.4 Gbps IPS throughput, 1 Gbps NGFW throughput and 900 Mbps threat-protection throughput.

FortiGate 80F-DSL adds an embedded xDSL modem and dedicated RJ11 port to the 80F connectivity set. It is appropriate only after the carrier handoff, supported DSL mode and deployment-country requirements are confirmed. The DSL circuit can change installation and failover planning, while the two shared RJ45/SFP WAN pairs remain available for other uplinks. Service SKUs carrying the F80FD platform code must be associated with this DSL variant rather than a standard FG-80F.

An FG-80F-DSL commissioning plan should verify line synchronization, the negotiated DSL profile, carrier credentials, RJ11 cabling and recovery to any secondary WAN. Repeat inspected-traffic and VPN tests over the actual DSL circuit because access-line capacity and latency can dominate appliance performance. Keep the F80FD service code, appliance serial and circuit record together, and confirm the embedded modem is permitted for the destination before committing to multi-year coverage.

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.

Confirm the filtering functions needed by policy and whether a bundled subscription is more appropriate.

Compatibility and Related Models

F80FD service codes identify the FortiGate 80F-DSL variant. They must not be treated as interchangeable with standard 0080F platform entitlements.

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.

FAQ

What does FC-10-F80FD-112-02-36 include?

When is this contract length suitable?

Choose this term for a three-year operating plan where fewer purchase orders are preferred but a mid-lifecycle checkpoint is still useful. Confirm that the FortiGate is expected to remain in its present role through the contract end.

What should be checked before ordering?
