Product Review

The Fortinet FG-81E-POE offers a solid balance of performance and scalability, with a firewall throughput of 4 Gbps across various packet sizes and the capacity to handle 1.3 million concurrent TCP sessions. However, its limitation lies in the relatively low firewall policies capacity (5,000) and IPsec VPN throughput (2.5 Gbps), which may restrict its application in highly dynamic or large-scale network environments. The device's design is compact, with a notable inclusion of 12 GE RJ45 PoE/+ ports, and it operates efficiently with a low average power consumption of 20 W, but its maximum power consumption can reach up to 137 W, necessitating careful consideration of power budgeting in densely populated network setups.

Overview

The Fortinet FG-81E-POE is designed to meet the needs of small to medium-sized businesses requiring secure, high-speed network connections. This model combines firewall, VPN, and various networking functions in a single device, making it an efficient solution for managing network security. At the heart of this device is a powerful firewall capable of handling up to 4 Gbps throughput across different packet sizes (1518 / 512 / 64 byte UDP packets), ensuring that data moves quickly and securely through the network. It boasts a low latency of 3 μs for 64 byte UDP packets, emphasizing its efficiency in data processing. The firewall's performance is further highlighted by its capacity to manage 6 million packets per second, support 1.3 million concurrent TCP sessions, and establish up to 30,000 new TCP sessions per second. With the ability to maintain up to 5,000 firewall policies, this device offers extensive control over network traffic. The FG-81E-POE is also equipped with significant VPN capabilities, delivering an IPsec VPN throughput of 2.5 Gbps with 512-byte packets. This feature ensures secure, remote connections, making it ideal for businesses with distributed teams or those requiring secure access to network resources from remote locations. Hardware specifications include: - 12 GE RJ45 PoE/+ ports, providing power over Ethernet to connected devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and cameras, alongside 2 GE RJ45/SFP shared media pairs for flexible connectivity options. Additionally, there are 2 GE RJ45 DMZ/HA ports for specialized network configurations. - An internal 128 GB SSD for storage provides ample space for logs, reports, and other data. - The unit's compact desktop form factor, with dimensions of 1.65 inches in height, 8.5 inches in width, and 7 inches in length, allows for easy placement in various environments. - It operates on a 100–240V AC power supply, with a total PoE power budget of 110W. Average power consumption is 20W, with a maximum of 137W, making it an energy-efficient choice for businesses.
  • Heat dissipation is managed efficiently at 467.5 BTU/h, ensuring the device maintains optimal performance even under heavy load.
  • Designed to operate within a temperature range of 32–104°F (0–40°C), it is suitable for most office environments. Storage temperatures range from -31–158°F (-35–70°C), with a humidity tolerance of 10–90% non-condensing.
  • The noise level is maintained at 35 dBA, making it a quiet addition to any workspace.
In summary, the Fortinet FG-81E-POE combines advanced security features with powerful networking capabilities, enclosed in a compact, efficient package. Its extensive port selection, high throughput rates, and low power consumption make it an excellent choice for businesses looking to secure and streamline their network infrastructure.
