WAN Ports

The Fortinet FG-201E-BDL-900-36 Security Appliance features two WAN ports, which play a crucial role in connecting your local network to the internet. These WAN ports offer numerous benefits that are essential for secure and reliable internet connectivity.

Redundancy and Failover

The presence of two WAN ports provides redundancy and failover capabilities. In the event of a primary WAN link failure, the secondary WAN link automatically takes over, ensuring uninterrupted internet connectivity.

This redundancy feature eliminates single points of failure and safeguards your network against connectivity disruptions. It ensures that your business operations continue to run smoothly even if one of the WAN links experiences an outage or performance degradation.

Load Balancing

The two WAN ports on the Fortinet FG-201E-BDL-900-36 Security Appliance enable load balancing, distributing network traffic across multiple connections. Load balancing optimizes network performance by preventing congestion on a single link and ensuring efficient utilization of available bandwidth.

By intelligently distributing traffic, load balancing enhances user experience and prevents bottlenecks, especially during peak usage periods. This feature is particularly beneficial for businesses with high internet traffic demands or those that rely on real-time applications that require stable and low-latency connections.

Secure Internet Connectivity

The dual WAN ports also contribute to secure internet connectivity by providing separate connections for different purposes. You can assign specific WAN ports to different network segments or configure them to handle specific types of traffic.

This segmentation enhances security by isolating critical network resources from potential threats and preventing unauthorized access. By separating internet traffic based on its nature or destination, you can implement granular security policies and effectively protect your network against cyber threats.

Scalability and Future Growth

The inclusion of two WAN ports allows for scalability and future growth. As your business expands, you may require additional internet connectivity to support increased demands.

The presence of two WAN ports ensures that you can easily add more connections without disrupting existing configurations or requiring complex hardware upgrades. This scalability feature enables seamless integration of new offices or locations into your network infrastructure, supporting your business's growth trajectory.
