How can resources (e.g. CPU, RAM) be limited to 50% in a Fortigate-100F?

Hi everyone, 

Is it possible to implement to limit resources to 50% in a Fortigate-100F?

Hello

I don't know such feature on FortiOS.

Nevertheless, if you have VDOMs, you can edit other resources like session, disk quota, number of firewall objects and so, from the "System > VDOM" menu, or System > Global Resources".

Yes, it is possible to implement resource b9game limits on a Fortigate-100F firewall, but the method and extent to which you can limit resources depends on what resources you're aiming to control (CPU, memory, bandwidth, etc.) and the specific features available in the FortiOS version you are using.

How may I implement this? What do I need to look and from which version onwards do I need @HanzllaQurshi?

Why would you do that?

If the reason is, that you would like to make sure the admin interfaces are always responsive, you can reserve a CPU-core(?) for that, so all other resources does not use all cores. (Need to dig after the command..)

Hello @jefazo92 ,

I know that such a feature is not available in Fortigate. For example, even when you want to give resource limits to vdoms, you can give limits not for CPU memory but for things like sessions, number of rules, etc.
