1U rackmount next-generation firewall with hardware fail-to-wire bypass interface pairs, built on Fortinet's NP6 and CP9 SPUs, with 16 GE RJ45 ports, 16 GE SFP slots, 32 Gbps firewall throughput, 5 Gbps of threat protection, 4 million concurrent sessions and integrated SD-WAN. The bypass segments keep traffic flowing on power loss, making it ideal for inline IPS and transparent-mode deployment at the enterprise edge.
The configurations most customers buy: the appliance on its own, bundled with FortiGuard protection, or the protection subscription to renew. The complete catalog is further down.

The FortiGate 400E-BYPASS is a 1U rackmount next-generation firewall for enterprise-edge and inline IPS deployments that cannot tolerate a link drop. It pairs 16 Gigabit RJ45 ports and 16 GE SFP slots with Fortinet's NP6 and CP9 SPUs to deliver 7.8 Gbps IPS, 6 Gbps NGFW, 5 Gbps of threat protection, 32 Gbps firewall throughput and 4 million concurrent sessions, and adds hardware fail-to-wire (bypass) interface pairs that keep traffic flowing through the appliance if it loses power or reboots. It runs FortiOS with built-in SD-WAN and ZTNA enforcement.
The 400E generation reached end of order, but the 400E-BYPASS is still in stock, brand new, and fully supported — FortiGuard, FortiCare and RMA renewals run through 2030. When you are ready to move to the current generation, the FortiGate 400F is the direct successor with roughly 2.5x the firewall throughput and NP6 acceleration. See the lineup below.

Source: official Fortinet FortiGate 400E Series datasheet (FG-400E column). The BYPASS model shares 400E system performance and adds hardware fail-to-wire interface pairs.
Download the full datasheetThe FortiGate 400E family shares the same NP6 + CP9 platform, ports and 400E-class performance. The 400E-BYPASS adds hardware fail-to-wire bypass port pairs; the 401E / 401E-DC add two 240 GB SSDs for local logging (AC or -48V DC power).
The 400E-BYPASS sits in the upper-mid range of the FortiGate E-series. Step down to the 200E for smaller sites, or move to the current-generation FortiGate 400F for roughly 2.5x the firewall throughput and higher session capacity. Same FortiOS and FortiGuard services across the range.

Add SFP optics or a DAC for the 400E-BYPASS fiber slots. The appliance ships as a 1U rack unit with mounting ears and two 1GbE SX transceivers included.
Yes. The FortiGate 400E generation reached end of order, but the 400E-BYPASS (FG-400E-BYPASS) is still in stock, brand new, and fully supported. FortiGuard, FortiCare and RMA renewals run through 2030. For the current generation, the FortiGate 400F is the direct successor.
The 400E-BYPASS adds hardware fail-to-wire (fail-open) bypass interface pairs. If the appliance loses power, reboots or fails, those port pairs short together so traffic keeps flowing through the link — essential for inline IPS and transparent-mode deployments that cannot tolerate a network drop.
It delivers 32 Gbps firewall throughput, 7.8 Gbps IPS, 6 Gbps NGFW, 5 Gbps threat protection and 4.8 Gbps SSL inspection, with 4 million concurrent sessions and 450,000 new sessions per second, on Fortinet’s NP6 and CP9 SPUs.
The 400E line is end-of-order but remains fully serviceable: FortiGuard security subscriptions, FortiCare support and Secure RMA can be renewed through to end of support in 2030. We can quote any remaining term, or scope a migration to the FortiGate 400F.
In-stock units ship from Canada with fast shipping, usually delivered in 0-1 business days. FortiGuard and FortiCare licensing is delivered electronically worldwide.
