Fortinet FortiGate 3100D FortiGate Cloud Management & Log Retention, 1-Year (FC-10-03100-131-02-12)

Managing a FortiGate 3100D without a cloud portal means relying on local CLI access or a standalone FortiManager for all visibility. This one-year FortiGate Cloud subscription (FC-10-03100-131-02-12) changes that by activating FortiGate Cloud for the 3100D: cloud-based configuration management, traffic analytics, and one full year of log retention in Fortinet’s hosted environment, with no additional on-premise infrastructure required.

What FortiGate Cloud covers

FortiGate Cloud (service code 131) is Fortinet’s hosted management platform for FortiGate appliances. Once activated on the 3100D, it connects the device to a cloud portal where administrators can review firewall policies, monitor traffic statistics, generate reports, and retrieve up to one year of stored logs. Because logs reside in Fortinet’s cloud infrastructure, you avoid sizing a dedicated syslog server or allocating FortiAnalyzer capacity to an aging appliance. The portal also tracks asset registration, contract status, and service entitlements across your broader Fortinet estate, all from a single dashboard.

Who should renew this subscription

FortiGate Cloud is a good fit for security and network teams that operate a 3100D as a perimeter or data-center firewall and want centralized visibility without a separate log management platform. It is also commonly used in managed service scenarios, where an MSP or co-managed security team needs to pull logs on demand or generate periodic compliance reports without requiring direct SSH access to the device. The FortiGate 3100D hardware reached End of Order in April 2023, but the Last Service Extension Date is April 16, 2027, and end-of-support runs through April 2028. Organizations maintaining this appliance through its full lifecycle can continue renewing FortiGate Cloud subscriptions through the LSED window.

Activation and delivery

FC-10-03100-131-02-12 is an electronic subscription. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key by email, typically within 0 to 1 business days. Registration is completed through the FortiCloud portal at support.fortinet.com: log in, navigate to Asset Management, locate the FortiGate 3100D by serial number, and apply the entitlement. The subscription term starts on the registration date, not the purchase date, so plan accordingly when managing renewal windows.

FortiGate Cloud vs an integrated service bundle

FortiGate Cloud (131) is a standalone cloud management and log retention service. It does not add FortiGuard threat signatures, IPS rules, web filtering, or any security content updates. If the 3100D also requires active FortiGuard security services, those are separate subscription SKUs. Conversely, FortiGate Cloud can complement an existing FortiCare or FortiGuard contract by providing a cloud-hosted log archive and management portal that remains accessible even when the on-premise environment is unavailable.
