FortiGate-5005FA2 security system
FortiGate-5000 Series Introduction
01-30000-83466-20090108 41
FortiGate-5005FA2 security system
The FortiGate-5005FA2 security system is a high-performance FortiGate security
system with a total of 8 front panel gigabit ethernet interfaces, two base backplane
interfaces, and two fabric backplane interfaces. Use the front panel interfaces for
connections to your networks and the backplane interfaces for communication
between FortiGate-5000 series boards over the FortiGate-5000 chassis
backplane.
You can also configure two or more FortiGate-5005FA2 boards to create a high
availability (HA) cluster using the base backplane interfaces for HA heartbeat
communication through the chassis backplane, leaving all eight front panel gigabit
interfaces available for network connections.
FortiGate-5005FA2 front panel interfaces 7 and 8 also include accelerated packet
forwarding and policy enforcement for faster small packet performance. Using
backplane base and fabric interfaces, the FortiGate-5005FA2 also functions as
the worker board in a FortiGate-5005-DIST security system.
The FortiGate-5005FA2 board also supports high-end FortiGate features
including 802.1Q VLANs, multiple virtual domains, 802.3ad aggregate interfaces,
and FortiGate-5000 chassis monitoring.

The FortiGate-5005FA2 board includes the following features:
• A total of eight front panel gigabit interfaces that can accept Small Formfactor
Pluggable (SFP) fiber or copper gigabit transceivers.
• Six standard gigabit interfaces (interfaces 1 to 6).
• Two accelerated packet forwarding and policy enforcement gigabit
interfaces (interfaces 7 and 8).
• Two fabric backplane gigabit interfaces (fabric1 and fabric2) for
FortiGate-5005-DIST security system management communications. The
fabric backplane gigabit interfaces can also be used for data communications
across the FortiGate-5000 chassis backplane if combined with a board that
supports backplane fabric switching.
• Two base backplane gigabit interfaces (base1 and base2) for HA heartbeat
and data communications across the FortiGate-5000 chassis backplane and
for FortiGate-5005-DIST security system data communication.
• RJ-45 RS-232 serial console connection.
