Product description

High availability at the branch level means buying two units and clustering them. The FG-80F-HA is the second node for a FortiGate 80F HA pair — hardware-identical to the standard FG-80F, with eight GE RJ45 LAN ports, two shared media WAN ports (RJ45/SFP), and 1.5 million concurrent sessions. Deploy two in Active-Passive or Active-Active mode for branch-level hardware redundancy. One FortiCare subscription covers the entire cluster; you do not license each node separately.

Active-Passive vs. Active-Active

In Active-Passive mode, the secondary unit runs idle, continuously synchronizing session state. Failover is sub-second; established TCP sessions survive without dropping. In Active-Active mode both nodes process traffic simultaneously, effectively doubling inspection throughput for high-volume branches. FortiOS handles cluster synchronization automatically — build the policy once on the primary and it propagates to the secondary.

Shared Media WAN Ports

Each WAN port accepts either a copper RJ45 cable or an SFP fibre transceiver, chosen at installation rather than at the factory. For branches with a fibre ISP handoff, insert a compatible SFP module. For copper Ethernet, plug in standard Cat5e or Cat6. Both nodes in the cluster should match their WAN interface type to the ISP lines they connect to.

Licensing the Pair

Fortinet’s HA licensing model covers the cluster under one subscription. A single FortiGuard bundle (FC-10-0080F- prefix) or FortiCare Premium applied to the primary propagates to the secondary automatically. This keeps licensing costs predictable — one renewal date, one SKU to track.

Moving Up: FortiGate 81F-HA

The FG-81F-HA is the next step within the 80F HA line — same chassis and performance, but with 128 GB SSD for local log storage and on-device quarantine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need two FG-80F-HA units to run high availability?

Yes. FortiGate HA requires two physical units in a cluster. Purchase two FG-80F-HA units and apply one FortiCare or FortiGuard subscription that covers the pair.

Does each unit in the cluster need its own license?

No. One FortiCare or FortiGuard subscription covers both nodes. Apply the license to the primary and FortiOS propagates it to the secondary automatically.

Is an SFP transceiver included with the shared media WAN ports?

No. Each WAN port accepts either a copper RJ45 connection or an SFP transceiver — one active per port. Fortinet-compatible SFP transceivers must be ordered separately.

What is the failover time in Active-Passive mode?

FortiGate HA failover with stateful session synchronization is sub-second. Established TCP sessions remain active through the transition with no perceptible interruption to end users.

Is this product available in Canada?

Yes. DataCenter360.ca ships free to all Canadian provinces in 0-1 business days. This listing is for Canadian customers only.
