Fortinet Fortigate-3000

Fortinet's FortiGate-3000 Firewall provides a wide range of firewall services, including content filtering, intrusion detection and VPN facilities, as well as antivirus protection, packaged into a 2 U rack mountable chassis. The front panel contains the network connections, serial connection, LCD panel and four control buttons. The only printed documentation was a quick start sheet, with all the other documentation covering installation and management being provided on the accompanying CD-ROM.

The unit has two distinct operating modes, NAT/Route mode and Transparent mode. In NAT/Route mode the device acts as a gateway between the LAN and the Internet, with the option of routing or NAT controlled by the security policies, while in Transparent mode the device operates behind a router or another firewall. The device looses its VPN capability in Transparent mode.
