Fortinet FG-80F-DSL FortiGate 80F-DSL next-generation firewall appliance

FG-80F-DSL Overview

FortiGate 80F-DSL is a physical Fortinet next-generation firewall; subscriptions and support are selected separately.

This SKU is the physical appliance without an embedded multi-year service bundle.

Order Composition and Delivery

This base FG order is a physical firewall without a named multi-year security bundle in the SKU. Shipping, destination, warranty region and hardware receipt are part of fulfillment, while FortiGuard and FortiCare coverage must be selected as separate orderable services. Record the serial number after delivery and associate later entitlements with the correct customer account. This separation is useful when service terms, support levels or activation dates need to be quoted independently from the appliance.

Service Scope and Boundaries

The base appliance is appropriate when hardware, support and security subscriptions are being purchased as separate line items. Build a bill of materials that names every required entitlement, term and registration owner; the chassis price alone is not a complete protected deployment.

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

This is an appliance-only purchase unless the SKU explicitly contains a bundle code. Select support and security services separately and align their activation with installation.

Confirm the exact appliance model, destination, power option, interfaces and separately purchased service coverage.

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

Confirm factory condition, warranty region, lead time, export terms and delivery destination. Bundle activation must be coordinated with appliance registration.
