FAQ

FortiGate 401G - frequently asked questions

The FortiGate 401G is a current-generation G-series model, fully supported with active FortiGuard and FortiCare subscriptions available for 1, 3, and 5-year terms.

Performance is identical — both run on the same NP7 + CP10 platform. The FortiGate 401G adds 2x 480 GB onboard SSD storage for local logging and reporting; the 400G has no onboard storage. Choose the 401G when you want on-box logs without a dedicated FortiAnalyzer.

The 401G is the newer G-series generation using the NP7 + CP10 platform, with 25 Gbps IPS, 4x 25GE SFP28 ports and 2x 480 GB onboard SSD. The 400F is the F-series (NP7 + CP9). Choose the 401G for the latest CP10 inspection engine, 25GE connectivity and on-box logging.

The FortiGate 401G uses Fortinet’s NP7 network processor for firewall and VPN acceleration, and the tenth-generation CP10 content processor for IPS, SSL inspection, and application control. Both ASICs are custom silicon designed by Fortinet.

UTP (Unified Threat Protection) is the most common choice: it adds web, DNS, and video filtering plus antispam on top of IPS and anti-malware. ATP covers core threat protection only. Enterprise adds DLP, AI-based inline malware prevention, and the full SASE service set.
