Fortinet FortiSwitch AX9000G-SUP

Supervisor module for the FortiSwitch AX9000G chassis. It runs the control plane and performs packet forwarding for the whole chassis. At least one is required in any AX9004G or AX9008G; a second adds control and forwarding redundancy. 32 GB of ECC DDR5, 80 MB of packet buffers and a 40 GB onboard SSD, hot swappable.

OVERVIEW

What the FortiSwitch AX9000G-SUP is for

The FS-AX9000G-SUP is the supervisor module for the FortiSwitch AX9000G chassis family. It controls the chassis and performs packet forwarding, so no AX9004G or AX9008G operates without at least one installed. Each module carries 32 GB of ECC DDR5 memory, 80 MB of packet buffers and a 40 GB onboard SSD, plus a 10/100/1000BASE-T management port, an RS-232C console port and a USB port.

A chassis can host up to two supervisor modules. Fortinet's datasheet describes active-passive and active-active operation for control and forwarding redundancy, and an optional 320 GB SSD, as capabilities that will be supported by future firmware — they are not available at present. The switching capacity figure of 12.8 Tbps applies with one supervisor; the 25.6 Tbps active-active figure is part of the same planned firmware work.

The module is hot swappable, as are the line cards, fan modules and power supplies, so a second supervisor can be added to a running chassis. The AX9000G family is managed through FortiSwitchNMS; FortiLink and Security Fabric integration are planned but not currently available.

FAQ

FortiSwitch AX9000G-SUP frequently asked questions

At least one. An FS-AX9004G or FS-AX9008G chassis will not operate without a supervisor module, because the supervisor runs the control plane and performs packet forwarding. A chassis can host up to two, and the module is hot swappable, so a second can be added to a running system.

Redundancy for control and forwarding. Fortinet’s datasheet describes active-passive and active-active modes for two installed supervisors, and lists both as capabilities that will be supported by future firmware rather than features available today. The same applies to the 25.6 Tbps active-active switching figure and the optional 320 GB SSD.

32 GB of DDR5 memory with ECC, 80 MB of packet buffers and a 40 GB onboard SSD. Front-panel connectivity is one 10/100/1000BASE-T management port, one RJ45 RS-232C console port and one USB port. The module draws up to 614 W, weighs 8.4 kg and is 50.7 × 500.5 × 436 mm.

Yes. The same FS-AX9000G-SUP is used in the four-slot FS-AX9004G and the eight-slot FS-AX9008G, as are all five AX9000G line cards. The fan modules are the parts that differ between the two chassis.

No. The AX9000G chassis ships empty — supervisor modules, line cards, fan modules and power supplies are all ordered separately. We are happy to quote a complete system so nothing is missed.
