FortiGate 70F?

[Toshi_Esumi]

I just heard a rumor about 70F to replace 60F due to chip shortage. But I can't find anything online yet. Does anyone have more detail of this?

Thanks,

Toshi

memory more than 60F, reckon 4GB. Firmware upgrades slower than the other units, not sure why

emseniconsultin, could you confirm the amount of memory on the FG-70F unit by running:

get hardware status

Thanks!

ANy idea when the 70F will appear in the Platform/Feature Matrix?

[Tony11]

I think you can safely assume it's identical to 60F.

(Some of the other newer models are also not listed yet, e.g. 400F.)

it has double the RAM and the benefits that come with that, have seen a datasheet for it somewhere

public datasheet is here
