Fortinet FortiGate 400F

Fortinet FortiGate 300E FG-300E Next-Generation Firewall

Fortinet FortiGate 300E (FG-300E) is an enterprise-class next-generation firewall designed to provide centralized network security, secure connectivity and traffic inspection for medium and large business environments. The platform combines firewall protection, intrusion prevention, application control, VPN, secure SD-WAN and Fortinet Security Fabric integration in a high-density rackmount appliance.

The FG-300E is equipped with 18x GE RJ45 ports and 16x GE SFP slots, giving organizations a large number of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for WAN, LAN, management, high-availability and fiber connectivity. Fortinet's NP6 and CP9 security processing technologies provide hardware acceleration for networking and security functions.

Technical Specifications

Enterprise Network Security

The FortiGate 300E provides a consolidated security platform for inspecting and controlling traffic between enterprise networks, branches, data-center environments and the Internet. FortiOS supports firewall policies, intrusion prevention, application control, VPN, network segmentation and other security functions from a centralized appliance.

The platform can also participate in the Fortinet Security Fabric, allowing compatible Fortinet security and networking products to work together for broader visibility and coordinated security operations. FortiGuard services can provide additional security intelligence and protection capabilities according to the selected subscription.

High-Density Gigabit Connectivity

The FG-300E provides 18x GE RJ45 interfaces consisting of 1 management port, 1 HA port and 16 switch ports. In addition, the appliance includes 16x GE SFP slots for fiber-based Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

This combination makes the FortiGate 300E suitable for environments that require a large number of Gigabit interfaces without relying entirely on external Ethernet switching. Compatible SFP transceivers can be selected according to the required fiber type, distance and network design.

Hardware-Accelerated Performance

Fortinet designed the FG-300E around its security processing architecture, incorporating NP6 and CP9 hardware acceleration. Published performance figures include up to 32Gbps firewall throughput, 5Gbps IPS throughput, 3.5Gbps NGFW throughput and 3Gbps threat protection throughput.

The published figures represent Fortinet test conditions and maximum rated performance. Actual throughput can vary according to packet size, traffic patterns, enabled security services, inspection policies and overall network configuration.

Secure VPN and SD-WAN Deployment

With published IPsec VPN throughput of up to 20Gbps, the FG-300E can be used for secure site-to-site connectivity and enterprise WAN architectures. FortiOS also provides secure SD-WAN capabilities for organizations managing multiple WAN links and distributed offices.

The platform is suitable for consolidating firewall, VPN and WAN-edge security functions where organizations require centralized policy enforcement and traffic inspection.

Enterprise Applications

• Enterprise next-generation firewall deployment
• High-density Gigabit WAN and LAN security
• Branch and regional-office security
• Secure SD-WAN deployments
• Site-to-site IPsec VPN connectivity
• Enterprise network segmentation
• Fortinet Security Fabric integration
• Fiber-based Gigabit network security
• Network edge and Internet gateway protection

Compatibility and Configuration Considerations

Before purchasing, verify the exact FG-300E hardware SKU, FortiOS compatibility, FortiGuard security subscriptions, FortiCare support requirements and SFP transceiver requirements. The 16 GE SFP slots should be paired with compatible transceivers and appropriate fiber or copper media according to the network design.

The FortiGate 300E should also be distinguished from the FortiGate 301E. Fortinet's ordering information identifies the 301E as the corresponding variant with 480GB onboard SSD storage, while the standard FG-300E does not include that onboard SSD configuration.

Lifecycle and Purchasing Consideration

The FortiGate 300E belongs to an older FortiGate hardware generation and is not among the newer models currently highlighted on Fortinet's current product-selection pages. For new deployments, buyers should compare the FG-300E with a current-generation FortiGate model before making a purchasing decision. For existing infrastructure, replacement, maintenance or upgrade projects, the exact hardware condition, FortiOS support status, licensing and warranty should be confirmed.
