Fortinet FortiGate 2000E SD-WAN Underlay Monitoring Service, 1-Year (FC-10-002KE-288-02-12)

SD-WAN branches live and die by underlay quality. When an ISP circuit degrades quietly, the network keeps forwarding packets down a path that is already hurting voice and video, and nobody notices until the help desk lights up. The FortiGate 2000E SD-WAN Underlay Bandwidth and Quality Monitoring Service (FC-10-002KE-288-02-12) is the 1-year FortiGuard subscription that puts real visibility on top of that gap: an underlay setup assistant, a live performance dashboard, and a speed-test tool built into the FortiGate 2000E’s own SD-WAN engine.

What this license covers

Activating FC-10-002KE-288-02-12 turns on three linked capabilities on a FortiGate 2000E running FortiOS 7.6.3 or later:

• Underlay setup assistant — applies Fortinet best-practice templates when a branch’s WAN links are first configured, cutting down the trial-and-error of manual SD-WAN rule building.
• Underlay monitoring dashboard — a single console view of link health, jitter, packet loss, and latency per circuit, so a degrading MPLS or broadband link is visible before it triggers a failover event.
• Speed-test tool with SLA performance database — a CLI-driven (execute speed-test) bandwidth test that checks a link against a known SLA baseline, plus FortiTelemetry SaaS monitoring for application-layer, real end-user experience data.

The service licenses per FortiGate 2000E device and does not touch firewall policy, IPS, or antivirus signatures — it is purely an SD-WAN observability layer on top of whatever security stack is already running.

Who needs it

This is a fit for teams that already run, or are about to run, SD-WAN on a FortiGate 2000E across multiple transport links: dual ISP, MPLS plus broadband, or LTE backup. Network engineers use the dashboard during a rollout to confirm each circuit performs to spec, and lean on it afterward to catch a degrading link before end users report call quality or application slowness. Organizations running a single static WAN link with no SD-WAN rules get little value from this SKU, since there is no underlay diversity to monitor.

Activation & delivery

FC-10-002KE-288-02-12 is a pure subscription license: no hardware ships. DataCenter360.ca issues the license key electronically, typically within one business day of order confirmation, and it activates against the FortiGate 2000E’s serial number through FortiCloud. Delivery is worldwide, since license fulfillment does not depend on physical shipping.

One service vs. the bundle

SD-WAN Underlay and Application Monitoring is sold à la carte on the FortiGate 2000E rather than folded into the Enterprise, UTP, or ATP FortiGuard bundles — it lives in Fortinet’s separate SD-WAN service track alongside SD-WAN Overlay Orchestration and the FortiSASE SD-WAN connector. Teams that also need IPS, web filtering, and application control on the same device should look at the FortiGate 2000E Enterprise or UTP subscription, since neither of those tiers substitutes for this monitoring service or vice versa. The two are complementary: one secures the traffic, this one shows whether the underlay carrying it is healthy.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner, and license SKUs like this one ship the same way regardless of where the order originates: electronic delivery, no customs delay, no physical inventory to wait on. If the 2000E fleet also needs FortiCare support, FortiCloud management, or additional FortiGuard security services, our team can confirm which SKUs are already active on the account before you order duplicate coverage.
