Fortinet FG-400E-BYPASS Firewall 32 x RJ45 | Bypass, Enterprise

Keep critical traffic moving even when appliances need service. FortiGate 400E Bypass is designed for enterprise edge environments that cannot afford an interruption in inline security. With 32 RJ45 ports arranged as 16 bypass pairs, it preserves traffic flow during power loss or maintenance events, reducing the risk of application downtime across branch and campus networks. This model adds the control points infrastructure teams expect in a higher-value firewall deployment: a dedicated management port, HA connectivity, and dual AC power supplies for stronger operational continuity. It is a practical fit for organizations that need inline protection without sacrificing availability at the network edge. For teams standardizing on Fortinet, the 400E Bypass offers a clear reason to choose this class of appliance over lower-tier alternatives: more resilient fail-open behavior, more physical interfaces for segmentation, and the hardware redundancy needed to support business-critical traffic paths. It is built for environments where maintenance windows are short, uptime is measured, and the firewall sits on the path of revenue-generating applications.
