After you enter the command, the FortiGate-7000 reboots and when it comes up:
l
The 1-C1 interface will no longer be available. Instead the 1-C1/1, 1-C1/2, 1-C1/3, and 1-C1/4 interfaces will be
available.
l
The 2-C1 interface will no longer be available. Instead the 2-C1/1, 2-C1/2, 2-C1/3, and 2-C1/4 interfaces will be
available.
l
The 2-C4 interface will no longer be available. Instead the 2-C4/1, 2-C4/2, 2-C4/3, and 2-C4/4 interfaces will be
available.
You can now connect breakout cables to these interfaces and configure traffic between them just like any other
FortiGate interface.
Turning the module on and off
You can use the front panel power button to turn the module power on or off. If the module is powered on, press
the power switch to turn it off. If the module is turned off and installed in a chassis slot, press the power button to
turn it on.
NMI switch
When working with Fortinet Support to troubleshoot problems with the FIM-7920E, you can use the front panel
non-maskable interrupt (NMI) switch to assist with troubleshooting. Pressing this switch causes the software to
dump registers/backtraces to the console. After the data is dumped the board reboots. While the board is
rebooting, traffic is temporarily blocked. The board should restart normally and traffic can resume once its up and
running.
FIM-7920E hardware architecture
The FIM-7920E includes an integrated switch fabric (ISF) that connects the front panel interfaces to the DP2
session-aware load balancers and to the chassis backplanes. The ISF also allows the DP2 processors to
distribute sessions among all NP6 processors on the FPM modules in the same chassis.
