Question about 500D

[Kenundrum]

Quick question about the 500D. The specs state that it has 8x accelerated RJ45 ports, 2 non-accelerated RJ45 for management and an additional 8 SFP ports. Does anyone know if the SFP ports are accelerated or not? Are the SFP ports accelerated on other models in general or not?

According to the docs, yes: http://docs.fortinet.com/...hardware-accel-521.pdf

Thank you- i didn't realize there was a newer version out. i was looking at an older hardware accel guide.
