FortiGate-5005FA2 worker modules
The FortiGate-5005FA2 security system serves as the worker module for the
FortiGate-5005-DIST security system. Worker modules are identically configured
and administered as a single unit from the primary I/O module. Workers are
typically installed in slots 3 and above, though FortiGate-5005FA2 security
systems with only one I/O module can also have a worker installed in slot 2.
The worker modules apply all of the FortiGate security system functionality to
traffic passing through the FortiGate-5005-DIST security system. Traffic is
distributed to the worker modules by the I/O modules. The worker modules
perform FortiGate functions such as applying firewall policies, virus scanning, IPS
and routing to distributed traffic.
