Frequently Asked Questions

Does the FG-80F-POE require a FortiGuard subscription?

FortiGuard subscriptions are required to enable advanced security features including IPS, web filtering, antivirus, and application control. Without a subscription, basic firewall and routing functions remain available.

What is the PoE budget of the FG-80F-POE?

Verify the total PoE budget in the FortiGate 80F-POE datasheet — the 8 PoE ports share a total PoE power budget that must be considered when planning connected device power requirements.

Can the FG-80F-POE be managed via the cloud?

Yes — the FortiGate 80F-POE can be managed via FortiCloud for cloud-based centralized management, in addition to on-premises FortiManager and local GUI/CLI management.

Whether you are securing a small business network, deploying a branch office firewall with integrated PoE, or standardizing on Fortinet Security Fabric for unified threat management, the FortiGate FG-80F-POE delivers the NGFW protection, SD-WAN capability, and PoE convenience your network demands.
