FORTINET FG-300E-BDL-988-DD Firewalls

FG-300E-BDL-988-DD Purchase Identity

FG-300E-BDL-988-DD combines the physical FG-300E firewall, the legacy bundle code 988 order code and legacy duration token DD. It is a BDL hardware line rather than an FC service-only SKU. Accessories outside the quoted bill of materials remain separate.

Mid-range E-series exit criteria

The appliance context is legacy mid-range E-series firewall. Confirm the 300E topology, HA peer, external logging and migration trigger before extending a legacy bundle.

Use the renewal review to map copper and optical handoffs, configuration recovery and the funded successor rather than treating coverage as a lifecycle approval.

Document which business zones and uplinks still depend on the 300E, the supported software target and the event that triggers replacement. The order file should include a current backup, HA relationship and optical inventory so the service purchase supports an executable transition.

Legacy entitlement comparison

The present ordering guide does not provide an authoritative mapping for this historical 988 bundle token. The original quote remains the controlling evidence.

Obtain a line-by-line current entitlement comparison and reject any renewal that relies only on a reseller shorthand or this legacy code.

For code 988, obtain a written comparison between the historical contract and the proposed current package. Reviewers should see service additions, removals, support changes, registration owner and expiry handling before accepting the line.

Unresolved duration evidence

DD is retained exactly because this historical order line does not present a normal 12, 36 or 60 month suffix. Do not infer a contract period from the token.

The original Fortinet quote and registration record must establish start date, end date, service scope and renewal or migration eligibility.

Treat DD as an unresolved commercial token until the original quotation proves the start date, end date and renewal basis. No reviewer should translate it into months or years from convention; the evidence must be attached to the order record.

Serial custody

Record how the appliance serial moves from receiving to the Fortinet account, who can approve an ownership transfer and which evidence closes the handoff.

Registration region

Confirm the end customer, deployment country and registration region with the authorized seller, then preserve the approval with the contract record.

Delivery identity

Receiving should match chassis label, power variant, storage variant and ordered SKU, quarantine substitutions and retain photographs with the asset record.
