The Fabric empowers organizations of any size to secure and simplify their hybrid infrastructure on the journey to digital innovation.

Interfaces SFP1 and WAN1 and SFP2 and WAN2 are shared SFP or Ethernet interfaces. Only one of each of these interface pairs can be connected to a network. This allows you to, for example, connect SFP1 to an SFP switch and WAN2 to 10/100/1000BASE-T Copper switch. Mid to high-end models, this button is not labeled and is NOT used to Factory Reset the FortiGate but is called external NMI (non-maskable interrupt) watchdog feature. When enabled (default state), resets the unit to its factory default settings if pressed during the first 30 or 60 seconds after a reboot. In bypass mode, the bypass pair acts like a patch cable, failing open and allowing all traffic to pass through. Traffic on the bypass interface that is using VLANs or other network extensions can only continue flowing if the connected network equipment is configured for these features. A built-in dual-band, dual-stream access point is integrated on the FortiWiFi 80F-2R series which provides the industry’s latest high-speed WiFi-6 (802.11ax) wireless access.On the FortiGate 80F Bypass model, the WAN1 and 1 interfaces form a bypass pair. Interface 1 (internal1) is part of a hardware switch named internal. To enable bypass mode, you must remove internal1 from the hardware switch. This command changes the configuration, so bypass mode will still be enabled if the FortiGate 80F Bypass model restarts. This article explains how to factory reset the configuration using the external reset button on low-end FortiGate models Comprehensive Support, Advanced Hardware Replacement (NBD), Firmware and General Upgrades, UTP Services Bundle (IPS, AV, Botnet IP/Domain, Mobile Malware, FortiGate Cloud Sandbox including Virus Outbreak and Content Disarm & Reconstruct, Application Control, Web & Video Filtering and Antispam Service) Connect the Serial to the USB adapter to the PC. Open the Device Manager and under 'Ports' see a COM port associated with the adapter. Make note of the COM port number.
