Fortinet FortiGate 60E-POE SD-WAN Underlay Service, 1-Year (FC-10-FG60P-288-02-12)

SD-WAN is only as good as the link measurements behind it. The FortiGate 60E-POE 1-Year FortiGuard SD-WAN Underlay Bandwidth and Quality Monitoring Service (FC-10-FG60P-288-02-12) gives a FortiGate 60E-POE the live underlay telemetry it needs to route traffic across the healthiest WAN path, then keeps that decision current as conditions change. It is a subscription license for one 60E-POE, valid for twelve months, with nothing to ship.

What this service covers

The underlay monitoring service continuously measures the real-world performance of each WAN link the firewall uses, including broadband and cellular circuits that do not report their own quality metrics. The FortiGate samples bandwidth, latency, jitter, and packet loss against FortiGuard reference points, so SD-WAN rules act on observed conditions rather than static assumptions. When a primary circuit degrades, the 60E-POE can steer sessions to a better path before users notice the drop.

Who needs it

This subscription fits sites that run two or more internet links on a single 60E-POE and rely on application steering to protect voice, video, or SaaS traffic. Branches that mix a business fibre line with an LTE or secondary broadband backup get the most value, because the service exposes the quality differences those links hide. If a location runs one flat internet connection with no failover, the monitoring has little to act on.

Activation and delivery

After checkout we email the FortiGuard entitlement, which registers against the serial number of your FortiGate 60E-POE on the Fortinet support portal. Activation enables the underlay monitoring feature set on that unit for the full year. There is no appliance, media, or freight involved. Because this is electronic fulfilment, DataCenter360.ca delivers it to customers in any country.

One service or the full bundle

SD-WAN underlay monitoring is a standalone operational add-on. It sharpens path selection but does not provide threat inspection. Sites that also need intrusion prevention, antivirus, and web filtering on the same 60E-POE usually pair this with a UTP or Enterprise security subscription, which covers the FortiGuard content services. Keeping the security bundle and the underlay service active together gives the firewall both smart routing and full content protection.
