Connectors

Tab le 8 lists and describes the FortiGate-5001A connectors.

Base backplane communication

The FortiGate-5001A base backplane 1-gigabit interfaces can be used for HA

heartbeat communication between FortiGate-5001A boards installed in the same

or in different FortiGate-5000 chassis. You can also configure FortiGate-5001A

boards to use the base backplane interfaces for data communication between

FortiGate boards. To support base backplane communications your

FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis must include one or more

FortiSwitch-5003 boards, FortiSwitch-5003A boards, or other 1-gigabit base

backplane switching boards installed in the chassis in base slots 1 and 2. The

FortiGate-5020 chassis supports base backplane communication with no

additions or changes to the chassis.

For information about base backplane communication in FortiGate-5140 and

FortiGate-5050 chassis, see the FortiGate-5000 Backplane Communication

Guide. For information about the FortiSwitch-5003 board, see the

FortiSwitch-5003 System Guide. For information about the FortiSwitch-5003A

board, see the FortiSwitch-5003A System Guide.

Fabric backplane communication

The FortiGate-5001A fabric backplane interfaces can be used for data

communication or HA heartbeat communication between FortiGate-5001A boards

installed in the same or in different FortiGate-5000 chassis. To support 1-gigabit

fabric backplane communications your FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis

must include one or more FortiSwitch-5003A boards or other 1-gigabit fabric

backplane switching boards installed in the chassis in fabric slots 1 and 2. The

FortiGate-5020 chassis does not support fabric backplane communications.

For information about fabric backplane communication in FortiGate-5140 and

FortiGate-5050 chassis, see the FortiGate-5000 Backplane Communication

Guide. For information about the FortiSwitch-5003A board, see the

FortiSwitch-5003A System Guide.
