OVERVIEW

What the FortiGate 201E is for

The FortiGate 201E is an end-of-life 1U enterprise next-generation firewall from Fortinet's 200E series. Built on the NP6 and CP9 security processors, it delivers 20 Gbps of firewall throughput, 1.8 Gbps NGFW, 1.2 Gbps of threat protection and 2,000,000 concurrent sessions over fourteen GE RJ45 ports, four GE SFP slots and a 480 GB onboard SSD. The 201E reached end of life, so the hardware is no longer sold; you can still renew its FortiGuard security services and FortiCare support to keep an installed unit protected, using the renewal bundles below.

When you are ready to replace it, the currently-shipping FortiGate 201F is the direct successor — roughly 1.35x the firewall throughput and 2.5x the threat protection of the 201E in the same 1U form factor — and the FortiGate 200G steps up further with 39 Gbps firewall, 11 million sessions and 10 GE interfaces. See the upgrade path comparison below.

FAQ

FortiGate 201E - frequently asked questions

No. The FortiGate 201E (FG-201E) has reached end of life and the hardware is no longer sold. You can still renew FortiGuard security services and FortiCare support for an installed unit, and we can quote the current FortiGate 201F as a direct replacement.

The FortiGate 201F is the direct, currently-shipping replacement — same 1U form factor with 27 Gbps firewall throughput and 3 Gbps of threat protection, roughly 1.35x and 2.5x the FortiGate 201E. For more throughput, 10 GE and higher session capacity, step up to the FortiGate 200G.

Yes, while the model is in its renewal window. Choose a FortiGuard + FortiCare renewal bundle (Enterprise, UTP or ATP) above, or renew individual FortiGuard services and FortiCare support. Licensing is delivered electronically worldwide.

The 200E series delivers 20 Gbps firewall throughput, 2.2 Gbps IPS, 1.8 Gbps NGFW, 1.2 Gbps threat protection and 7.2 Gbps IPsec VPN, with 2,000,000 concurrent sessions and 135,000 new sessions per second, accelerated by Fortinet’s NP6 and CP9 security processors.

The FortiGate 201E is the FortiGate 200E plus a 480 GB onboard SSD for local logging and reporting. Ports (fourteen GE RJ45 and four GE SFP slots) and security performance are identical to the 200E; the standard 200E has no internal storage.
