Fortinet FortiGate 3200F Firewall, Hardware Only (FG-3200F)

When the network team needs to acquire the firewall chassis and the license through separate procurement channels, the FG-3200F hardware-only SKU keeps the purchase clean. You get a fully specified 2RU appliance — NP7 network processor, CP9 content processor, dual hot-swap AC power supplies, and a full complement of high-density ports — without a subscription pre-applied. Add whichever FortiGuard tier fits your compliance scope once the hardware is racked and baseline-configured.

What comes with the FG-3200F

The unit ships with the appliance chassis, two SFP+ SR transceivers (10GE, included for management uplink), rack-mount rails, power cabling for both AC PSUs, and a console cable. FortiOS is preloaded; security services require a separate subscription. No software license is included.

FortiGate 3200F specifications

Where the 3200F fits

At 387 Gbps raw firewall throughput with 70 million concurrent sessions, this appliance is built for hyperscale data center perimeters, carrier NAT deployments, and large enterprise core segmentation. The four ULL SFP28 ports deliver 1.45 μs firewall latency, which matters in financial services and trading environments where sub-millisecond network delay is part of the architecture spec. ZTNA enforcement is integrated directly in FortiOS, so user access control and perimeter security converge on one platform. The CP9 content processor handles SSL/TLS 1.3 decryption at 29 Gbps, keeping full-inspection throughput viable at scale without a separate decryption appliance.

Hardware only vs a bundle

The hardware-only SKU suits deployments where a license follows from a separate budget line, a FortiGuard subscription transfers from a device being decommissioned, or a custom subscription combination is needed. If you want hardware and a FortiGuard subscription activated on arrival, the FG-3200F-BDL-950 (UTP) and FG-3200F-BDL-809 (Enterprise Protection) bundles ship with FortiCare Premium and the corresponding services included.
