FORTINET FC-10-F80FD-1389-02-12 FortiGate 80F-DSL Services and Subscriptions

FC-10-F80FD-1389-02-12 Overview

SD-WAN and SASE Services Add-on provides an add-on for an eligible deployment that already has the required SD-WAN and security coverage.

This SKU is a 1 year 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

This SD-WAN and SASE line is an add-on, so a qualifying base entitlement and aligned contract term are required. Verify the target serial, existing contract number, remaining duration and SASE tenant before ordering. State which incremental capability is being added and which sites receive it. An add-on cannot create the missing foundation service, supply hardware or extend an expired base contract without a separate eligible renewal. Do not substitute this add-on for the corresponding base bundle. A clean quote shows the prerequisite entitlement, its expiration date and the reason the incremental service is needed.

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 twelve-month term suits annual budgets and near-term technology reviews. Record the activation date and schedule renewal ownership early because coverage ends after one contract year. Check the contract in the first operating quarter, confirm consumption and service fit at mid-year, then begin the renewal or replacement decision well before expiration. This cadence preserves flexibility when the appliance may move, the service scope is still being proven, or funding cannot be committed across several fiscal years.

For annual coverage, retain the quotation, activation confirmation and expiration date in the current fiscal-year purchasing file. At roughly ninety days before expiry, check appliance ownership, service use, open support cases and next-year budget approval. Decide whether to renew the same service, move to a broader bundle, reduce scope or replace the firewall. Escalate unresolved registration errors early; an annual contract leaves little time to correct account ownership before the next order.

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-1389-02-12 include?

This SKU is a 1 year service entitlement for an existing FortiGate 80F-DSL; it does not include hardware.

When is this contract length suitable?

Choose this term when the organization needs a one-year commitment, expects a platform review soon, or funds subscriptions annually. It creates the most frequent renewal work but limits the period of commitment.

What should be checked before ordering?

Verify the qualifying base contract, remaining term, supported device and SASE onboarding scope.
