Fortinet FG-71F-BDL-809-36 firewall appliance

Compact Desktop Firewall with Integrated Security

The FortiGate-71F is a desktop-form-factor firewall appliance built for small-office and branch environments. It includes a 36-month FortiCare Premium and FortiGuard Enterprise Protection bundle that delivers 24x7x365 support and real-time defence across the entire attack surface. The unit ships with 128 GB of internal SSD storage and requires a company name at checkout to activate the licence.

Gigabit Ethernet Port Limits and Throughput

The appliance provides two WAN/DMZ ports, five internal ports and two FortiLink ports, all operating at Gigabit RJ45 speeds. Firewall throughput reaches 10 Gbps with 1518-byte packets and drops to 6 Gbps at 64-byte packets, while latency sits at 2.54 µs and concurrent TCP sessions max out at 1.5 M. New sessions per second and VPN throughput are capped by the same Gigabit interfaces and the listed packet-processing figures.

Power and Physical Checks Before Ordering

Verify that an external DC power adapter supplied with the unit matches your local 100-240 V AC supply at 50 or 60 Hz; maximum draw is 1.0 A at 100 V and 0.6 A at 240 V, with average consumption of 17.2 W and peak of 18.7 W. Confirm the 38.5 x 216 x 160 mm footprint and 1.01 kg weight suit your desktop or wall-mount location, and ensure a console cable with an RJ45 connector is available for initial configuration.
