Subject: I can confirm that Fortigate firewalls are definitely based on Linux
Good day from Singapore, These few days, I have discovered that the output of the Fortigate firewall CLI command "diag hardware sysinfo cpu" is exactly the same as the output of the command "cat /proc/cpuinfo" in Linux operating systems. Hence I can confirm that the underlying operating system of Fortigate firewalls is definitely Linux. But I do not know which Linux distro Fortigate firewalls are based on. Fortigate 90E firewall has 2-Core Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C2338 @ 1.74GHz processor. Fortigate 101F firewall has 8-core ARMv8 Processor rev 4 (v8l) 1400 MHz processor. Fortigate 200F firewall has 8-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU D-1627 @ 2.90GHz processor. I will try to find out what processors my own personal Fortigate 60D and Fortigate 60E firewalls have later on. I have configured and deployed 22 Fortigate firewalls for 20 companies/organizations in Singapore so far (as of 22 June 2023 Thursday). On 15 June 2020, I joined my present company (Systems Integrator/Managed Services) as an IT support engineer. I have been working at my present company for slightly more than 3 years already. My 3rd anniversary falls on 15 June 2023. The following are useful commands for troubleshooting high CPU usage on Fortigate firewalls (provided by Fortinet technical support). get system status get system performance status --run 5 times diag hardware sysinfo cpu diag sys top diag debug crashlog read execute tac report Do you guys know which Linux distro Fortigate firewalls are based on? I would like to know. This will be very interesting.
