Hello,

Does a GE-SFP port of a FortiGate, equipped with FS-TRAN-GC (RJ-45) transceiver, support 10/100/1000 speed?

Thanks

Andreas

    Don't know about 10 but 100/1000  should be doable. Did you read  any of  the  ftnt spec doc?

     

    e.g

    I'm aware of this document. It doesn't say anything about 10/100/1000 (or 100/1000). The reason I worry about, is this document: http://kb.fortinet.com/kb/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=FD34526&sliceId=1&docTypeID=DT_KCARTICLE_1_1&dialogID=94270824&stateId=0%200%2094268863

    In there, it is mentioned only the 3040/3140B's and a special 3rd party SFP (Delta LCP-1250RJ3SR-S). From this, I'm in doubt if this feature is supported in other FortiGates or not.

    According to the document, the copper only supports 1000, no other. This is the usual for copper GBICs. I have used several on other manufacturer's gear and all have been locked at 1000.
