FortiSwitch-5003B
FortiSwitch-5003B system
The FortiSwitch-5003B board is an Advanced Telecommunications Computing
Architecture (ATCA) compliant hub/switch board that provides 10-gigabit fabric and
1-gigabit base backplane channel layer-2 switching in a dual star architecture. The
FortiSwitch-5003B board provides a total capacity of 225 Gigabits per second (Gbps)
throughput.
The FortiSwitch-5003B board can be installed in any ATCA chassis that can provide
sufficient power and cooling. You can install FortiSwitch-5003B boards in a
FortiGate-5060 chassis and in selected versions of the NEBS-compliant
FortiGate-5140-R chassis.
Table 1
lists FortiGate-5000 series chassis that can support
the FortiSwitch-5003B board. For most up-to-date list of all chassis that can support the
FortiSwitch-5003B board see the FortiSwitch-5003B Release Notes.
In all ATCA chassis FortiSwitch-5003B boards are installed in the first and second
hub/switch slots. For most versions of FortiGate chassis the hub/switch slots are slots 1
and 2. For more information about FortiGate-5000 series chassis see the
FortiGate-5000
Chassis Guides
page of the Fortinet Technical Documentation web site.
You can use the FortiSwitch-5003B board for fabric and base backplane layer-2
switching for FortiGate-5000 boards installed in slots 3 and up in FortiGate-5140 and
FortiGate-5060 chassis. Usually you would use the base channel for management traffic
(for example, HA heartbeat traffic) and the fabric channel for data traffic.
FortiSwitch-5003B boards can be used for fabric and base backplane layer-2 switching
within a single chassis and between multiple chassis.
The FortiSwitch-5003B system also supports LACP (802.3ad) link aggregation, 802.1q
VLANs, and 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) for the fabric channels. You
can use these features to configure link aggregation and support redundant
FortiSwitch-5003B switch configurations to distribute traffic to multiple FortiGate-5000
boards. The FortiGate-5000 boards can operate in NAT/Route or Transparent mode.
