Maximum values for VM

Maximum values for VM

The following table lists the maximum number of configuration objects that can be added to the configuration database for different FortiAuthenticator virtual machine (VM) configurations.

The maximum values in this document are the maximum configurable values and are not a commitment of performance.

The FortiAuthenticator VM is licensed based on the total number of users and licensed on a stacking basis. All installations must start with a FortiAuthenticator VM Base license and users can be stacked with upgrade licenses in blocks of 100, 1,000, 10,000 and 100,000 users. Due to the dynamic nature of this licensing model, most other metrics are set relative to the number of licensed users. The Calculating metric column below shows how the feature size is calculated relative to the number of licensed users for example, on a 100 user FortiAuthenticator VM Base License, the number of auth clients (NAS devices) that can authenticate to the system is:

100 / 10 = 10

Where this relative system is not used e.g. for static routes, the Calculating metric is denoted by a "-". The supported figures are shown for both the base VM and a 5000 user licensed VM system by way of example.
