The FortiGate 2600F is Fortinet’s high-end data-center next-generation firewall, powered by the NP7 network processor and CP9 content processor. It delivers 25 Gbps of threat protection, 31 Gbps IPS throughput, 198 Gbps firewall throughput, and 24 million concurrent sessions in a 2RU rack appliance — with four 100GE QSFP28 uplinks, sixteen 25GE SFP28 slots, and sixteen 10GE / GE RJ45 ports. Built for large enterprise data centers, service-provider cores, and hyperscale edges that need very high session capacity and deep threat inspection in a compact footprint.

The 2600F is a 2RU rack appliance with four 100GE QSFP28 ports, sixteen 25GE SFP28 slots and dual hot-swappable AC power.
The FortiGate 2600F is a current-generation model, fully supported with active FortiGuard and FortiCare subscriptions available for 1, 3, and 5-year terms.
The 2600F roughly doubles the session capacity and throughput of the 1800F: 24 million concurrent sessions vs 12 million, 31 Gbps IPS vs 22 Gbps, and 64 Gbps application control vs 34 Gbps. Both run on the NP7 + CP9 platform. Choose the 2600F for the busiest data-center cores.
Performance is identical — both run on the same NP7 + CP9 platform. The FortiGate 2601F adds 2x 960 GB onboard NVMe SSD storage for local logging and reporting. Choose the 2600F when on-box storage is not required.
Yes. The FortiGate 2600F-DC is the dual −48V to −60V DC variant for telco central offices and DC-powered racks. Performance, interfaces, and licensing are identical to the AC FortiGate 2600F. Contact us for a 2600F-DC quote.
The FortiGate 2600F uses Fortinet’s NP7 network processor for firewall and VPN acceleration, and the CP9 content processor for IPS, SSL inspection, and application control. Both ASICs are custom silicon designed by Fortinet.
