The FortiBridge unit functions as a pass-through device when a
FortiGate unit or FortiGate HA cluster operating in Transparent mode
fails or loses power. The FortiBridge unit bypasses the FortiGate unit to
make sure that the network can continue processing traffic. The
FortiBridge unit is not a firewall or antivirus device. FortiGate services
are not applied when the FortiBridge unit bypasses traffic.
