FORTINET FC-10-GT71G-108-02-36 FortiGuard IPS for FortiGate 71G - 3 Year

FC-10-GT71G-108-02-36 Three-Year IPS Entitlement

FC-10-GT71G-108-02-36 is the three-year FortiGuard Intrusion Prevention Service ordering line for FortiGate 71G. It supplies the IPS service entitlement rather than another appliance, support replacement contract or broad multi-service security bundle.

Best fit for a reviewable deployment cycle

A three-year term creates a defined mid-life checkpoint for branches whose traffic profile, inspection policy or platform roadmap may change. It can align a new FortiGate 71G rollout with a normal architecture review without requiring annual renewal activity. Record the intended activation and expiry window beside the hardware refresh plan.

IPS policy work before activation

Fortinet documents signature-based detection and protocol analysis for identifying and blocking malicious traffic. Before registration, define which firewall policies will use an IPS profile, select signatures and filters relevant to the protected applications, set action and logging behavior, and establish a tuning owner. An entitlement alone does not turn every policy into an inspected path.

Three-year operating checkpoints

Use the first operating period to baseline detections, false positives, bypasses and performance. Review protected services after major application changes and perform a formal entitlement and platform assessment well before the final renewal window. This shorter commitment is useful where the organization expects a redesign, merger, site move or hardware reassessment.

Activation evidence

Confirm the complete PID, FortiGate 71G serial, end-customer Fortinet account, service region, start-date rule and any existing contract before order release. After activation, retain the registration record and verify the IPS entitlement and update status on the registered device.

What this line excludes

No FortiGate hardware, FortiCare replacement SLA, installation, policy tuning or unrelated FortiGuard service is implied. If web filtering, malware protection, DNS security or support coverage is required, compare the appropriate bundle and support PIDs rather than assuming they are part of this IPS-only line.
