- What is the FortiGate 60F best used for?
- It is a small-office firewall and router for a branch or single site. It handles firewall, VPN, web filtering and intrusion prevention, and its LAN ports can serve a small network without a separate switch.
- Does it need a subscription to work?
- The firewall and basic routing work without subscriptions. Antivirus, IPS, web filtering and FortiGuard updates need an active FortiCare and security services bundle, which this model number includes for 36 months.
- How many users can it handle?
- Fortinet positions the 60F for small offices and branch sites, typically a few dozen users. Real capacity depends on how much traffic you send through inspection features, which cuts throughput well below the raw firewall rating.
- What ports does it have?
- Two GE RJ45 WAN ports, one GE RJ45 DMZ port, two GE RJ45 FortiLink ports and five GE RJ45 internal ports. FortiLink ports connect Fortinet switches for central management.
- How does it compare with the FortiGate 40F?
- The 60F has more ports and higher throughput than the 40F, including a DMZ port and FortiLink ports. The 40F is smaller and cheaper but fits only very small sites.
- Can it replace my router and switch?
- It can route and firewall your internet connection and provide five internal LAN ports. For more ports or PoE you add a FortiSwitch through the FortiLink ports.
