Fortinet FortiGate 7121F-2-DC

Some services are sold on annual contracts only, with no multi-year part number available. We confirm the available terms when we quote.

Upgrading or extending an existing FortiCare contract is quoted separately - send us the serial number and we will price the upgrade.

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 7121F performance figures against a ten-FPM configuration. A chassis fitted with fewer processor modules does proportionally less.

The interface counts here are from Fortinet’s October 2023 FortiGate 7000F Series datasheet. The earlier standalone 7121F-2 datasheet prints different figures for the same rows, so 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 8,356 W average and 9,820 W maximum, 33,261 BTU/h, at 174 A average and 205 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.

FortiGuard security services and FortiCare support on the 7000-series are priced against the chassis rather than the module count, so the subscription lines below cover the whole system.
