Interfaces: 8x 10GE SFP+, 8x 5GE RJ45, 4x GE SFP (some listings also show 10x GE RJ45; verify against the datasheet)
Form Factor: 1U rackmount appliance (NP7Lite and CP10 accelerators)
Price Basis: Hardware-only reseller and distributor quotes (not an official Fortinet MSRP); range runs from a reseller sale price to a distributor list price
Curation Review
✔ Pros:High firewall and IPsec VPN throughput for a 1U appliance; 10GE SFP+ and 5GE RJ45 ports suit modern campus and branch uplinks; large session capacity (11M concurrent, 400K new/sec); Fortinet NP7Lite and CP10 hardware offload; unified threat protection (IPS, NGFW, AV) under FortiOS.
✘ Cons:Threat prevention throughput drops sharply once IPS, NGFW, and AV are enabled (6 Gbps versus 39 Gbps firewall); subscription licences (FortiCare and FortiGuard) are needed for full protection and add substantial ongoing cost; reseller prices vary widely; no verified official product photo or netbox elevation image is available for the 200G, so image_url is left blank.
