[MORAMADAN]

Hello Bro,

               I have new deployment that include 1801F appliance and my question is that :

Does this appliance supports Cisco SFP "TenGig" tranceivers ? which part-IDs ? I have Few Cisco ones such as "Transceiver 10Gbase-SR PID: SFP-10G-SR-S" and I want to use if supported.

TIA to you all.

Hi again,

I have found this list:

https://www.fortinet.com/content/dam/fortinet/assets/data-sheets/Fortinet_Transceivers.pdf

May I ask you to have a look on it and tell if it answered your question?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Thank you so much for the link.

But obviously yhis is fortinet SFPS, I have many cisco sfps and I want to make sure if they are compatible and can be used.

Hi Ramadan,

Fortigate tested and recommended transceivers are listed in KB article below. This list don't include the Cisco SPFs you have mentioned, but that doesn't mean it will not work, it is just not tested . There are customers using these SFPs in their Fortigates .

Sorry, but when I open the link, its "access denied", how to open this link please.

Looks like the access is restricted, but the contents are almost similar to the list provided by Anthony earlier - https://www.fortinet.com/content/dam/fortinet/assets/data-sheets/Fortinet_Transceivers.pdf

Again, since the transceiver is not in the list don't mean it won't work, it just means it is not tested by Fortinet. You can test them on your setup and see if it works , it is recommended to use the transceivers tested by Fortinet, which can be found in above document.

I have received this link and all are fortinet parts, but I will consider that you have pple that are using it and working fine, and this is just tested parts as a solution.

Thank you all
