Fortinet FortiGate 80F-POE FortiCare Essential, 5-Year (FC-10-F80FP-314-02-60)

The FortiGate 80F-POE combines NGFW inspection with four integrated PoE+ ports that power IP phones, wireless access points, and cameras directly from the firewall. FC-10-F80FP-314-02-60 keeps that combined unit covered for five years under FortiCare Essential: firmware update entitlement, business-hours web support, and return-and-replace hardware coverage. Subscription license only, electronic delivery, valid worldwide.

What FortiCare Essential covers

Essential entitles the registered 80F-POE to FortiOS firmware and security patch releases for the contract period. Web-based technical support is available through the FortiCare portal during business hours, along with the online knowledge base and case management tools. If the hardware fails, Fortinet’s return-and-replace RMA provides a replacement after the faulty unit is returned. Critical issues receive a next-business-day initial response. There is no telephone support, no 24×7 coverage, and no advance hardware replacement at this tier.

FortiCare tiers at a glance

FortiCare has three service levels. This contract is the Essential tier. Use the table to confirm it matches the site’s support requirements.

Who uses Essential

Five-year Essential suits 80F-POE deployments where the PoE infrastructure is stable and unlikely to change. Small offices where the 80F-POE also acts as the PoE switch for Wi-Fi access points, IP phones, or cameras tend to leave the hardware in place for the device’s full service life. Locking in five years of firmware and support coverage matches that deployment pattern and eliminates annual renewal overhead. Essential is appropriate when next-business-day support response is acceptable; if the PoE-connected devices need faster recovery, step to FortiCare Premium for advance hardware replacement instead.

Activation and delivery

FC-10-F80FP-314-02-60 is delivered electronically, typically within zero to one business days, to any country. Apply the contract registration number against the FortiGate 80F-POE serial number in the FortiCare portal; coverage starts immediately on registration. Nothing ships physically.

Essential, Premium, or a full bundle

Three ways to cover the 80F-POE. Essential (this contract) is the entry support tier. FortiCare Premium (FC-10-F80FP-247-02-60) adds telephone access, 1-hour critical response, and advance hardware replacement for the 5-year period, which changes the recovery time significantly if a PoE-connected device depends on the firewall being back online quickly. If FortiGuard security subscriptions are also required, a UTP or Enterprise bundle packages those with Premium in one SKU.
