Fortinet FG-80F-POE-HA FortiGate 80F-POE high-availability appliance SKU

FG-80F-POE-HA Overview

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

This is the FortiGate 80F-POE high-availability hardware SKU. Fortinet's ordering guidance states that HA units must be purchased in pairs; the HA pair can use a single eligible service contract.

Order Composition and Delivery

This FG-HA line is a physical high-availability appliance SKU. Fortinet's official ordering guidance requires HA units to be purchased in pairs and allows the HA pair to use a single eligible service contract. Quote two identical HA units, document heartbeat and production links, and confirm the shared-contract conditions before activation. Shipping, warranty region and receipt still apply to each physical unit, while the entitlement is associated according to Fortinet's HA registration rules.

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-POE has eight GE PoE ports and two RJ45/SFP shared-media WAN pairs.
• Fortinet specifies a 96 W total PoE budget and a maximum load of 30 W on each PoE/+ port.
• The 80F series specification lists 1.4 Gbps IPS throughput, 1 Gbps NGFW throughput and 900 Mbps threat-protection throughput.

FortiGate 80F-POE provides eight GE PoE ports for powered edge devices and two shared-media RJ45/SFP WAN pairs. The official specification gives a 96 W total PoE budget and a 30 W maximum per PoE+ port, so an endpoint-by-endpoint power schedule is required before purchase. Unlike FG-81F, this model has no 128 GB onboard SSD. The quotation should separate appliance power requirements, PoE load, uplink media and any security or support term bundled with the chassis.

Acceptance testing should measure each powered endpoint, aggregate PoE demand and behavior during appliance or power-adapter recovery. Map the six general PoE ports and two default FortiLink PoE ports to the approved topology, then verify both shared WAN pairs and production inspection policies. Keep the F80FP service codes with the physical serial and PoE inventory. If the calculated load approaches 96 W, preserve design margin rather than relying on every endpoint remaining at its nominal draw.

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 that two identical FG-80F-POE-HA HA units are ordered together, then validate the eligible shared service-contract arrangement, destination and failover design.

Compatibility and Related Models

F80FP service codes belong to the PoE-equipped FortiGate 80F-POE. Standard 80F, 81F and DSL serials require their own platform-specific orderable codes.

Warranty, Activation and Shipping

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