Passive Mode
Passive mode enables you to use the FortiLog unit solely as a Network Attached
Server (NAS) storage device. The collection of device log files and the log reporting
features are not available in passive mode.

FortiLog units running in Passive mode provide secure storage space. Using the
integrated RAID (Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks) functionality provides better
data security.
