Fortinet FG-300E-BDL-950-36 FortiGate 300E UTP Hardware Bundle

FG-300E-BDL-950-36 order-code boundary

FG-300E-BDL-950-36 combines the FortiGate 300E hardware identity with Fortinet’s 950 Unified Threat Protection bundle code. Fortinet’s current ordering guide demonstrates the 950 mapping with a duration placeholder; it does not provide a public exact row that proves what 36 means for this historical order code, so the term must be verified on an authorized quote.

FortiGate 300E interface identity

Fortinet documents two dedicated MGMT/HA copper interfaces, sixteen numbered 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and sixteen 1 GigE SFP positions numbered 17–28 plus S1, S2, VW1 and VW2. The platform contains one NP6 processor, while ports 1–16 share two XAUI paths through an integrated switch fabric.

Bundle and entitlement check

Before purchase, obtain a Fortinet-authorized configuration that names this complete SKU, the registered appliance, service start and end dates, renewal state and included security services. Do not treat the 950 mapping alone as proof that an old contract remains valid or transferable.

Receiving plan

Match the FG-300E chassis label and serial, inventory copper and SFP interfaces, confirm management and HA cabling, then reconcile the serial number with the entitlement record. The order must be held if the quote substitutes a 301E or changes the service code or duration.
