OVERVIEW

What the FortiGate 400F-DC is for

The FortiGate 400F-DC is the DC-powered model of the FortiGate 400F, built for telco central offices and data centers that standardize on -48V DC power. It combines 16 hardware-accelerated Gigabit RJ45 ports with eight GE SFP slots, four 10GbE SFP+ slots and four 10GbE SFP+ ultra-low-latency slots, and uses Fortinet's NP6 and CP9 SPUs to deliver 9 Gbps of threat protection, 79.5 Gbps firewall throughput, 7.8 million concurrent sessions and 55 Gbps of IPsec VPN. Performance, ports and FortiOS features are identical to the AC-powered 400F — the difference is dual hot-swappable -48V to -60V DC power supplies for 1+1 redundancy in a DC-powered rack. For onboard log storage choose the 401F-DC, which adds two 480 GB SSDs; step down to the 200F for campus and branch sites, or up to the 600F for data-center-core throughput.

COMPARE THE LINEUP

How the 400F-DC compares to the 200F and 600F

The 400F-DC sits in the upper-mid range of the FortiGate F-series. Step down to the 200F for campus and branch sites, or up to the 600F for data-center-core throughput and higher session capacity. Same FortiOS and FortiGuard services across the range.

FortiGate 400F-DC - frequently asked questions

The 400F-DC is a shipping, fully supported FortiGate ‘F’ series next-generation firewall built on the NP6 and CP9 security processors, with active FortiGuard and FortiCare subscriptions available. It is the DC-powered model of the 400F line.

The 400F-DC delivers 79.5 Gbps firewall throughput, 12 Gbps IPS, 10 Gbps NGFW, 9 Gbps threat protection and 8 Gbps SSL inspection, with 7.8 million concurrent sessions and 500,000 new sessions per second — identical to the AC-powered 400F.

Performance, ports and FortiOS features are identical. The 400F-DC uses dual hot-swappable -48V to -60V DC power supplies for 1+1 redundancy instead of AC, for telco central offices and data centers on DC power. For onboard SSD logging choose the 401F or 401F-DC.

Sixteen hardware-accelerated Gigabit RJ45 ports, eight GE SFP slots, four 10GbE SFP+ slots and four 10GbE SFP+ ultra-low-latency slots, plus two GE RJ45 management ports, one USB port and one RJ45 console port. It ships with two 1GbE SX SFP transceivers.

In-stock units ship from Canada with free shipping, usually delivered in 0-1 business days. FortiGuard and FortiCare licensing is delivered electronically worldwide.
