FortiGate-3200D fast path architecture

The FortiGate-3200D features two NP6 processors connected to an Integrated Switch Fabirc (ISF). The FortiGate-3200D has the following fastpath architecture:

  • 24 SFP+ 10Gb interfaces, port1 through port24 share connections to the first NP6 processor (np6_0).
  • 24 SFP+ 10Gb interfaces, port25 through port48 share connections to the second NP6 processor (np6_1).

You can use the following get command to display the FortiGate-3200D NP6 configuration. The command output shows two NP6s named NP6_0 and NP6_1 and the interfaces (ports) connected to each NP6. You can also use the diagnose npu np6 port-list command to display this information.
