Fortinet Fortigate 81F-Poe Network Security/Firewall Appliance Description
The Fortinet Fortigate 81F-Poe Network Security/Firewall Appliance is a compact yet powerful network security appliance designed for enterprise branch offices and mid-sized businesses. Thanks to its purpose-built security processor (spu) technology, this appliance delivers a firewall throughput of up to 10 Gbps and a threat protection throughput of 900 Mbps and offers high performance for SSL-encrypted traffic inspection. It integrates various security and networking functions into a single platform, offering a comprehensive security solution.
Utilising continuous threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs, including AI-powered services, the Fortinet Fortigate 81F-Poe Network Security/Firewall Appliance protects against a wide range of threats, beyond traditional firewalls, including application control, intrusion prevention, advanced threat protection, and web filtering, in both encrypted and unencrypted traffic. It features a dedicated TPM (Trusted Platform Module) for hardware-based security, including secure generation and storage of cryptographic keys. Part of Fortinet's Security Fabric, this appliance integrates with other Fortinet and Fabric-ready partner products for broader visibility, integrated threat detection, and automated response.
Ideally suited for enterprise branch offices, mid-sized businesses, and networks with approximately 50-250 users or devices, the Fortinet Fortigate 81F-Poe Network Security/Firewall Appliance has a compact desktop form factor with wall and rack mounting options. It comes with an internal storage of 128GB SSD for local logging and data storage and enables integration with FortiSwitch devices, allowing them to be managed as a logical extension of the FortiGate.
Secure SD-WAN
The Fortinet Fortigate 81F-PoE Network Security/Firewall Appliance features integrated Secure SD-WAN, which enables intelligent traffic steering across multiple WAN connections for improved performance and reliability. It enhances the user experience for SaaS applications like Microsoft 365 and Salesforce, while also supporting more efficient access to cloud services. By utilising broadband instead of costly MPLS links, organisations can significantly reduce WAN expenses using this appliance. Plus, the Secure SD-WAN Centralised orchestration and built-in analytics streamline the management of network policies, performance monitoring, and application visibility across all connected locations.
Integrated Networking
Delivering advanced networking features, the Fortinet Fortigate 81F-PoE Network Security/Firewall Appliance integrates seamlessly with Layer 7 security controls and support for virtual domains (VDOMs). This integration allows for greater deployment flexibility, enabling organisations to segment networks, enforce granular policies, and optimise resource utilisation, all within a single, consolidated platform.
Multiple Interfaces
The Fortinet Fortigate 81F-Poe Network Security/Firewall Appliance comes equipped with various interfaces to support diverse deployment needs. It includes eight GE RJ45 PoE ports for powering connected devices, two GE RJ45/SFP shared media WAN ports for flexible uplink options, and two GE RJ45 FortiLink ports that can be reconfigured as standard interfaces. A USB 3.0 port that supports 3G/4G USB modems, enabling additional WAN connectivity or redundancy, and an RJ45 console port that provides direct access for device management are also included.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Equipped with eight Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports that support PoE+ (802.3at), the Fortinet Fortigate 81F-PoE Network Security/Firewall Appliance delivers a total power budget of 96W. This enables direct powering of compatible devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras, hence simplifying deployments and reducing the need for separate power supplies.
Centralised Management
The FortiGate 81F-PoE provides a user-friendly web-based management console that offers an intuitive interface for easy configuration and monitoring. It also supports a CLI (Command Line Interface) for advanced users and seamless integration with FortiManager for centralised management across multiple devices. Additionally, this appliance is compatible with Zero Touch Integration through Fortinet's Security Fabric, simplifying deployment and ensuring consistent security across the network.
