Product description

The FG-400E-BYPASS-LENC is the low-encryption export variant of the FortiGate 400E-BYPASS inline appliance. It carries the same 16-pair hardware bypass architecture as the standard 400E-BYPASS, keeping traffic flowing through the segment even if the unit loses power or enters a fail-open state. Ships to Canada; license sold separately via FC-10-F4HBE- FortiGuard subscriptions.

Where the 400E-BYPASS-LENC Fits

The LENC designation marks a reduced cryptographic-strength variant for export to markets or applications where strong encryption is restricted by local regulation. If your deployment is within Canada with no export requirement, the standard FG-400E-BYPASS applies the full cipher suite. Choose the LENC model specifically when compliance mandates the low-encryption configuration.

The inline bypass pairs are the key differentiator from a standard FortiGate. In environments where even a brief inspection outage is unacceptable — power failure, firmware upgrade, or hardware fault — the bypass relay closes and traffic passes uninspected rather than dropping. This makes the 400E-BYPASS series common in healthcare networks, trading floors, and critical-infrastructure segments where availability ranks above brief inspection gaps.

Hardware Alone vs. Bundle

This SKU ships the appliance without any FortiGuard or FortiCare entitlement. You will need at minimum a FortiCare support subscription to access firmware updates and TAC support. A UTP or Enterprise FortiGuard subscription (FC-10-F4HBE-950- or FC-10-F4HBE-809-) adds live IPS, malware detection, and filtering services on top.

Moving Up

If your throughput or port requirements grow beyond the 400E-BYPASS-LENC, the FG-600E-LENC is the next LENC hardware step up, offering higher firewall throughput and more interface flexibility on the same export-compliant platform.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca ships the FG-400E-BYPASS-LENC brand new from Fortinet stock with free and fast delivery across Canada in 0–1 business days. We are a Fortinet Select Partner and can pair the hardware purchase with the correct FC-10-F4HBE- subscription in the same order.

What does LENC mean on a FortiGate?

LENC stands for Low ENcryption Configuration. It limits the cryptographic algorithms available on the appliance to comply with export-control regulations in certain countries or industry contexts. The hardware is otherwise identical to the standard model. If your deployment does not require LENC, the standard FG-400E-BYPASS uses the full cipher suite.

Does the hardware bypass work without an active FortiGuard subscription?

Yes. Hardware bypass is a physical layer-2 feature independent of software licensing. If the unit loses power or enters a fail-open condition, the bypass relay closes and traffic passes through the bypass pairs unfiltered. An active subscription is needed for FortiGuard signature updates and FortiCare TAC support, not for the bypass relay itself.

Which license SKU do I need for the FG-400E-BYPASS-LENC?

Standard FG-400E-BYPASS uses the FC-10-F4HBE- license prefix. Confirm with Fortinet Support or DataCenter360.ca that this same prefix applies to the LENC variant before purchasing, as license applicability can vary by regulatory region and OS version.

Is this appliance available outside Canada?

Hardware ships to Canadian addresses only. DataCenter360.ca is not authorized to export Fortinet hardware internationally. FortiGuard and FortiCare software licenses purchased alongside hardware can be registered and activated on appliances anywhere in the world.

What redundancy options does the 400E-BYPASS-LENC support?

The appliance supports Active-Active, Active-Passive, and Clustering HA configurations. Dual redundant PSUs protect against single-supply failure. The hardware bypass pairs provide network continuity if the unit itself fails entirely. Together these features support high-availability patterns for critical network segments.
