Building a resilient network at a branch site means planning for the moment the primary appliance fails. The FortiGate 80F-PoE HA unit is the second node in a two-device cluster: paired with a primary FG-80F-POE, it maintains firewall, SD-WAN, and NGFW policies through a failover in seconds, keeping PoE-powered cameras, IP phones, and access points online throughout the transition.
This listing is the HA hardware unit only. Licensing must be purchased separately and applied to each node in the cluster individually.

Two FortiGate appliances configured as an HA pair synchronize session tables, routing state, and configuration in real time over a dedicated heartbeat link. If the primary unit loses power or a monitored interface fails, the secondary takes over traffic within seconds. In Active-Active mode both nodes forward traffic simultaneously. In Active-Passive mode the secondary stays warm and ready, holding traffic only after a failover event. Either way, the FG-80F-POE-HA delivers the same 96 W PoE capacity and FortiSoC4 ASIC performance as the primary unit.
This SKU is purchased by IT teams who already own or are ordering a primary FG-80F-POE and need the second unit to complete the HA pair. Distributed-site deployments where the firewall also powers endpoint devices — IP cameras, VoIP handsets, or wireless APs — are the most common use case. A failover appliance protects both network policy enforcement and the power delivery those connected devices depend on.
Fortinet requires a valid FortiGuard subscription on each node in a cluster. Purchasing licenses for both nodes at the same time keeps both in the same renewal cycle and prevents a subscription gap on the secondary from causing a service interruption during failover. The FC-10-F80FP-950 UTP and FC-10-F80FP-809 Enterprise subscriptions are available for the 80F-POE platform and apply per device.
The FortiGate 81F-POE-HA is the matching next HA unit in the line, adding 128 GB of SSD storage to the same PoE platform for sites that need local log retention at both cluster nodes. For sites whose traffic growth outpaces the 80F-class throughput, the FG-90G series represents the next performance tier.
DataCenter360.ca stocks both nodes of the FG-80F-POE HA pair and can process a matched two-unit order in a single transaction. As a Fortinet Select Partner, we ship factory-sealed hardware free to Canadian addresses within 0-1 business days and can assist with cluster configuration, per-node licensing, and HA mode selection before you commit to a design.
The hardware is identical to the primary FG-80F-POE, so it can run as a standalone appliance. However, this SKU is listed and priced as an HA unit. If you intend to use it as your only firewall rather than a cluster node, the standard FG-80F-POE listing is the appropriate SKU to reference.
Yes. Fortinet licenses each physical unit independently. Both the primary and the HA node must carry active subscriptions for the full FortiGuard service stack to function on both after failover. Aligning renewal dates for both nodes at purchase simplifies future renewals and avoids coverage gaps.
The six GE RJ45 PoE/+ ports support any 802.3af or 802.3at device, including IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. The total PoE budget is 96 W with a maximum of 30 W per port. Plan connected device power requirements to stay within that budget, particularly if you are mixing high-draw APs with cameras.
The FG-80F-POE supports Active-Active, Active-Passive, and FGSP clustering. Active-Passive is most common for branch sites: the secondary monitors the primary and assumes all traffic within seconds of a detected failure, with minimal disruption to connected sessions and PoE-powered devices.
Yes. DataCenter360.ca ships free to Canadian addresses, with most orders arriving within 0-1 business days. The unit arrives factory-sealed and brand new from Fortinet’s distribution channel.
