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

FG-80F Overview

FortiGate 80F 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 has eight GE RJ45 ports and two RJ45/SFP shared-media WAN pairs.
• The standard FG-80F has no onboard SSD and no embedded DSL port; those are separate platform variants.
• Fortinet lists 1.4 Gbps IPS throughput, 1 Gbps NGFW throughput and 900 Mbps threat-protection throughput for the 80F series.

FortiGate 80F is the standard wired 80F appliance. It provides eight GE RJ45 ports and two shared-media RJ45/SFP WAN pairs, but it does not include the dedicated DSL interface found on FG-80F-DSL. Procurement should confirm the chosen copper or SFP WAN media, the number of internal zones and inspected throughput requirements. Do not describe the standard FG-80F as having embedded DSL or onboard SSD, because those capabilities distinguish other variants in the series.

For FG-80F acceptance, document which shared-media WAN interface is active in each pair and verify copper or SFP failover without creating an unintended simultaneous-port assumption. Test IPS, NGFW and threat-protection policy behavior against expected traffic, then capture VPN and logging requirements. The asset record should explicitly say standard 80F, because F80FD service codes and DSL installation notes do not apply to this chassis.

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

The standard FortiGate 80F uses the 0080F platform code in the cited ordering material. F80FD codes identify the separate DSL variant.

Warranty, Activation and Shipping

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