Product description

Branches running over DSL need hardware redundancy at the gateway, not just at the uplink. The FG-80F-DSL-HA is the second unit that completes a FortiGate 80F-DSL high-availability pair. Each node carries its own embedded VDSL2/ADSL2+ module, so both units can hold a live DSL connection simultaneously. There is no shared external modem that becomes a single failure point when the primary goes offline. Configure them in Active-Passive mode and the branch gets sub-second failover with DSL continuity.

Independent DSL on Both Nodes

The defining characteristic of this unit is the embedded DSL module in each node. In Active-Passive mode, the standby unit’s DSL port is pre-connected and synchronized continuously. When the primary fails, the secondary takes over the session without re-negotiating with the ISP and without waiting for a separate modem to re-train. Branch connectivity is restored in seconds, and the DSL link itself remains intact throughout the transition.

WAN Redundancy: Multiple Paths Per Node

Each FG-80F-DSL-HA provides up to three WAN paths: the embedded DSL RJ11 port, plus two shared media slots (RJ45 or SFP, one active each). FortiOS SD-WAN can load-balance and fail over across all three paths simultaneously based on latency, jitter, or packet loss thresholds. In a two-unit cluster, that is up to six WAN interfaces available for policy routing during normal operation, well beyond the single or dual-WAN capability of most branch appliances.

Subscription Coverage for the Cluster

One FortiGuard subscription (FC-10-F80FD- prefix) or FortiCare Premium applied to the primary node automatically covers the secondary. FortiOS handles the propagation internally. No separate per-node renewal is required, and there is no HA licensing surcharge. UTP and Enterprise bundles work identically. Pair this unit with an FC-10-F80FD-950-02-12 (UTP) or FC-10-F80FD-809-02-12 (Enterprise) subscription to cover the full cluster from day one.

Hardware Only vs. Bundle

This listing is hardware only, with no included subscription. It suits customers who already hold a multi-year subscription on the primary and are adding the second node mid-term, or who prefer to purchase FortiGuard services separately. If the primary subscription is still pending, start with the hardware and add the matching FC-10-F80FD- service subscription to cover both nodes under one renewal cycle.

Moving Up: FortiGate 81F-HA

The FG-81F-HA is the next model in the 80F HA line. It shares the same firewall and IPS throughput figures and the same port layout, but adds 128 GB of internal SSD storage for on-device log retention and file quarantine. Branches with stricter logging or compliance requirements may find the 81F-HA worth the step up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need two units to run a FortiGate HA pair?

Yes. FortiGate HA requires two physical units in a cluster. Purchase an FG-80F-DSL as the primary and an FG-80F-DSL-HA as the second node. Apply one FortiCare or FortiGuard subscription (FC-10-F80FD- prefix) to the primary to cover both units.

Does each node in the pair have its own DSL module?

Yes. Each FG-80F-DSL-HA unit includes its own embedded VDSL2/ADSL2+ module. In Active-Passive mode the standby unit’s DSL port is pre-connected and synchronized, so failover requires no DSL re-negotiation with the carrier.

Do both nodes in the cluster need separate subscriptions?

No. One FortiCare or FortiGuard subscription (FC-10-F80FD- prefix) covers both nodes when applied to the primary. FortiOS automatically extends coverage to the HA secondary with no additional licensing fee.

What DSL standards does the embedded module support?

The embedded module supports VDSL2, ADSL2+, ADSL2, G.DMT, T1.413, and G.Lite, including Annex A, B, I, J, M, and L profiles. This covers the full range of copper DSL services available from Canadian ISPs.

Is the FG-80F-DSL-HA available for customers in Canada?

Yes. DataCenter360.ca ships the FG-80F-DSL-HA free to all Canadian provinces with delivery in 0-1 business days. This listing is for Canadian customers; hardware units ship within Canada only and are not exported.
