All performance values are "up to" and vary with system configuration. IPS, Application Control, NGFW and Threat Protection are measured with logging enabled. NGFW = firewall + IPS + Application Control. Threat Protection = firewall + IPS + Application Control + malware protection. IPsec VPN uses AES256-SHA256.
Hardware Features
Interfaces (FortiGate 70G / 71G)
- 1 x signed firmware hardware switch
- 1 x RJ45 console port and 1 x USB port
- 2 x GE RJ45 WAN ports
- 2 x GE RJ45 FortiLink ports
- 6 x GE RJ45 Ethernet ports
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
A dedicated module generates, stores and authenticates cryptographic keys, hardening the appliance against malicious software and phishing attacks.
Access layer security
The FortiLink protocol converges security and network access by integrating FortiSwitch as a logical extension of the firewall. FortiLink ports can be reconfigured as regular ports.
Compact, reliable form factor
Small, lightweight and fanless for quiet operation. Place it on a desktop or wall-mount it. High MTBF minimises the chance of network disruption.
Signed firmware hardware switch
A physical security switch, set to the highest level by default, so only validated FortiOS firmware can be loaded. This adds a physical layer of protection against compromise.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
The front panel includes a BLE/reset control and status LEDs for power, status and HA, plus link and speed indicators for each port.
Optional Wi-Fi 6 (FortiWiFi 70G)
The wireless FortiWiFi 70G model adds a built-in dual-band, dual-stream Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) access point.
