Fortigate 800C

[Tommy_Rogers]

Recently purchased two 800C' s with 10gig SFP' s. can' t figure out how to get the two SFP+ ports 23 and 24 to come up wiith the 10gig tranceivers. Anybody got any input? Thanks Tommy

By the way I have 5.01 firmware loaded.

just did the same. it was plug and play. nothing extra to configure. running 5.0.1 as well. To be sure; did you order extra 10Gig traceivers, or did you use the two already included with the 800C?

[Tommy_Rogers]

No, unfortunately I only have the 4 that came with the 2 units. I do have some Brocade 10g transceivers though.

[Maik]

the 4 that came with it are 1Gig tranceiver. I' m currently using the FG-TRAN-SFP+SR. there is also a LongRange model for the SFP+ port available.

@Maik, do you think that the 1G transceivers will not work in the SFP+ sockets? I guess they should be downward compatible, like with switch ports (then again, it' s a Fortigate...)

I don' t know. I had no need to put a 1gig gbic into a 10gig slot while there are 1gig slots free yet. :) the 800C is out of my lab. i cannot test it anymore. i also don' t know if there would be a technical reason or a support reason to not support unknown gbic' s. at least i' m not aware of a command like " service unsupported-transceiver" :) regards Maik

The part number I have is 4 ea. AFBR-5710PZ and 8 ea. AXGE-5854-0511. Google says they are all 1000base so I think some one may have boo-booed... Thanks Tommy

Mystery resolved... The part number that works is as follows. This is the part number on the 10gig transceiver not Fortinets part number - AFBR-703ASDZ.
