All performance figures are stated by Fortinet as maximums and vary with system configuration.
IPS, application control, NGFW and threat protection figures are measured with logging enabled. NGFW is firewall, IPS and application control; threat protection adds malware protection.
IPsec VPN performance is tested with AES256-SHA256. SSL inspection figures are an average across HTTPS cipher suites.
This is a chassis, not a fixed appliance. Throughput and port count both depend on how many FPM processor modules and FIM interface modules are fitted, and the chassis ships with a starting complement rather than a full one. We work the module count back from the throughput and the interfaces you need.
Fortinet states the 7081F performance figures against a six-FPM configuration. A chassis fitted with fewer processor modules does proportionally less.
Fortinet’s published table prints two separate rows for the 100 GE QSFP28 / 40 GE QSFP+ slot count, 36 and 48, without saying which configuration each belongs to. Rather than pick one, both are shown here and we confirm the exact port map against the module complement at quote.
This is a DC chassis, for a rack fed from a 48-60 V plant. Fortinet also builds the AC variants of the same chassis.
Power draw is 6,160 W average and 7,370 W maximum, 25,174 BTU/h, at 128 A average and 154 A maximum on a 48 V plant.
Each FIM module carries 2 x 4 TB of local log storage, so a two-module chassis holds 16 TB without a FortiAnalyzer attached.
Four 10 GE SFP+ SR transceivers are included with the chassis. QSFP-DD, QSFP28 and SFP28 optics and direct attach cables are quoted separately.
Fortinet has not yet published the compliance and certification list for this series, so those rows are marked rather than filled with a guess.
Part numbers are Fortinet catalogue SKUs listed for reference. Availability, term and lead time are confirmed at quote.
FortiGate 7081F-2-DC
The 7081F-DC chassis supplied with the FIM-7941F I/O module - the same 1.89 Tbps across eight slots.
The Same Chassis, a Different I/O Module
The 7081F-2-DC is the twelve-rack-unit eight-slot chassis supplied with a FIM-7941F I/O module in place of the FIM-7921F. Everything else matches the 7081F-DC: one FPM-7620F to start with, two management modules, six hot-swappable 2500 W DC supplies, and the same published performance across a six-FPM configuration.
What the FIM-7941F Changes
Both modules carry the same physical complement - two QSFP-DD, twenty QSFP28, two SFP28 and two 4 TB drives. They differ in how many of those ports can be broken out into split ports, which is what decides the usable port count on a fully configured chassis. If the port map is what matters to the design, tell us the breakout you need and we will confirm which module fits.
DC Power and Local Logging
Six 2500 W DC supplies on a -48 V to -60 V plant, drawing roughly 6.16 kW average and 7.37 kW maximum. Each FIM module carries two 4 TB drives, so a populated chassis holds its own log history rather than depending on a reachable FortiAnalyzer.
