Hi,
May I know if FG-60D can serve as server load balancer? Our client plan to purchase FG-60D firewall, then they're asking if its possible. Anyway, they do not answering our questions regarding on what particular medium they want to balance (is it isp, workloads, etc) for us to scope it well. Otherwise, they need a dedicated load balancer box to satisfy their network requirements.
Note: They're the one who give the model of firewall (which is 60D) that they need.
Regards,
Jam

Thank you for this. Much appreciated.
I'll print this pdf file for references.
You welcome.
Just to add, the only thing you need to be aware of is the maximum values.
I see that the maximum real servers supported per virtual server (by the FGT60D) is '4' which should be enough usually. Meaning customer can load balance between 4 real servers on a FGT60D.
If you want to check and compare such values as well, use the below link and select the products which you want to compare with :
