FORTINET FC-10-F80FD-577-02-60 FortiGate 80F-DSL Services and Subscriptions

FC-10-F80FD-577-02-60 Overview

AI-based Inline Malware Prevention provides inline malware prevention inspection delivered as a FortiGuard service entitlement.

This SKU is a 5 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

AI-based Inline Malware Prevention is intended for inspection in the traffic path. Technical review should confirm supported FortiOS, policy placement, encrypted-traffic handling and the performance assumptions used in the network design. It is not a replacement for centralized analytics, support or every FortiGuard control. The security owner should state which traffic classes will use inline prevention and how detections will be investigated before the entitlement is activated.

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 sixty-month term is intended for a longer deployment horizon. Check the appliance lifecycle, planned replacement year and entitlement transfer rules before committing to coverage across five budget periods. Procurement should compare the contract end with hardware refresh, site lease and carrier milestones. Maintain ownership records through staff and organizational changes, and review lifecycle notices periodically. A long term reduces renewal events but increases the impact of choosing the wrong platform, service scope or registration region at the start.

For five-year coverage, attach the entitlement to the hardware lifecycle record and establish an owner who can maintain registration through multiple budget and staffing cycles. Review Fortinet lifecycle notices, appliance utilization and service relevance at least annually even though no renewal purchase is due. Before a site move, merger or hardware replacement, confirm whether the long entitlement can remain useful under official rules. Begin end-of-term planning far enough ahead to coordinate a platform refresh rather than automatically extending aging hardware.

Verify software support, inspection policy requirements and the serial number receiving the entitlement.

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-577-02-60 include?

This SKU is a 5 years service entitlement for an existing FortiGate 80F-DSL; it does not include hardware.

When is this contract length suitable?

Choose this term only when the FortiGate is expected to remain deployed for the full five-year coverage window. Validate lifecycle and migration assumptions because flexibility is lower than an annual or three-year commitment.

What should be checked before ordering?

Verify software support, inspection policy requirements and the serial number receiving the entitlement.
