Hi everyone,
I am new with Fortinet devices and have Fortigate FG-100F. I am struggling a lot understanding how many subscriptions are available and what features do they exactly offer for my device. I have tried looking onlin for Forticare, IPS, Antivirus, etc. but what I have found online so far is marketing material which is very broad and ambiguous. I want to know the specific details (e. g. What additional firewall rules can I create, what additional logs and events can I monitor, etc.). Where may I find the information I am looking for?
Hi,
You may check on below for brief information:
Based on 100F datasheet, this unit does not come with storage, you may also check on cloud logging. Below is the comparison for device with and without subscription.

You may coordinate with sales or Fortinet local partner if you need further information regarding your requirement.

Hi @jefazo92 ,
I can understand it is not easy to browse among all the marketing material.
The documents below might give you an idea of the features and what they do (matching the contents between them):

In terms of doubts or questions, I would suggest you to contact a sales engineer, that will provide you all the answers:

Regarding some doubt that you have specified, please see my answers:
>> What additional firewall rules can I create, what additional logs and events can I monitor
The number of firewall rules might be specific to the hardware platform and not to a subscription (CLI "print tablesize"). With specific subscriptions you can configure/use UTM features within a firewall policy. Some specific feature also offer further specific logs (i.e.: Webfilter, DLP, AV ), their name might be different in different FOS versions.
If you have further questions, please let us know. Anyway Sales engineers, remain the best resource to clarify your doubts.
Best regards,
Thank you both @hjezzapaula and @fricci_FTNT. I still have a number of questions before I can understand what my device requires:
Hi @jefazo92 ,
I can understand you have all those question and I am unable to accurately answer most of them.
Regarding question #1, they are kind of the same, you can download firmware versions from FortiCare.
Regarding the question #3, you can configure syslog server settings and send all logs to your favourite third party syslog server:
I suggest you to get in touch with our sales department (https://www.fortinet.com/corporate/about-us/contact-us ).
