Part 4: Performance Tuning for KVM
To get wire-speed throughput (near 10 Gbps or more) from this v7.2.1 image, you must optimise the KVM host.
Network Selection: Connect the first NIC to a bridge or NAT network that has internet access for the initial license activation. Finish: Launch the VM. Using virt-install (CLI):
- fgt: This could be an abbreviation for Fortigate, which is a line of network security products developed by Fortinet. Fortinet provides a wide range of cybersecurity solutions, and "FGT" likely refers to their virtual appliance.
- vm64: This suggests that the virtual machine is a 64-bit version, capable of running 64-bit operating systems.
- kvm: This indicates that the image is specifically designed for, or compatible with, KVM virtualization technology.
- v7.2.1: This is likely the version number of the Fortigate or FortiOS software that this virtual machine image is based on.
