Fortinet FortiGate 80F-Bypass

Branch NGFW with a hardware fail-to-wire bypass port pair — if the appliance loses power, that inline link stays up, so a single site keeps passing traffic while you restore service.

End-of-order model. Fortinet stopped new orders of the FortiGate 80F-Bypass (and 80F-Bypass-Gen2) on 2026-05-17; it is supported with renewals until 2031-05-17. Renew FortiGuard & FortiCare below, or move to the current FortiGate 90G. If you do not need the hardware bypass, the FortiGate 80F is still available.

OVERVIEW

What the FortiGate 80F-Bypass is for

The FortiGate 80F-Bypass is the branch model of the FortiGate 80F series built for inline resilience. It delivers the 80F platform's SoC4 secure SD-WAN ASIC — 900 Mbps threat protection, 10 Gbps firewall throughput, and 1.5 million concurrent sessions — and adds a hardware fail-to-wire bypass port pair so a monitored link stays connected if the unit loses power or faults. It is now end-of-order: hardware is no longer sold new, but subscriptions renew normally on installed units. For new deployments, the current FortiGate 90G fills the same branch role on Fortinet's newer SP5 platform; if you do not need bypass, the FortiGate 80F remains available.

COMPARE THE LINEUP

How the 80F-Bypass compares across the 80F line

The 80F-Bypass differs from the standard 80F only by its hardware fail-to-wire bypass port pair for inline resilience. For new purchases, the FortiGate 90G is the current replacement; the standard FortiGate 80F is still sold if bypass is not needed.

FAQ

FortiGate 80F-Bypass - frequently asked questions

The FortiGate 80F-Bypass (and 80F-Bypass-Gen2) reached end-of-order on 2026-05-17, so the hardware is no longer sold new. Fortinet supports it with renewals until 2031-05-17, so FortiGuard and FortiCare subscriptions on installed units renew normally — see the purchasing options above. For new deployments, choose the current FortiGate 90G, or the still-sold FortiGate 80F if you do not need hardware bypass.

One GE RJ45 port pair (WAN1 and Port1 by default) is fail-to-wire: if the appliance loses power or faults, that pair mechanically closes to a straight wire so the inline link keeps passing traffic. It trades inspection for uptime on that segment until the unit recovers.

The FortiGate 90G is the current-generation branch replacement on Fortinet’s SP5 platform with higher throughput. Note the 90G does not include a hardware bypass pair; if fail-to-wire is a requirement, talk to us about current bypass options.

Yes. Renewals are active until the 2031-05-17 end-of-support date. Use the UTP or Enterprise renewal in the purchasing tables above; licensing is delivered electronically worldwide.

No. It is a wired NGFW with no integrated wireless and no onboard SSD. For Wi-Fi see the FortiWiFi 80F/81F models; for on-box storage see the 81F line.
