Overview:

Security, Performance, and Manageability

The FortiSwitch™ Secure Access Family delivers outstanding security, performance, and manageability. Secure, simple, and scalable, FortiSwitch is the right choice for threatconscious businesses of all sizes.

Security Fabric Integration through FortiLink

FortiLink is an innovative proprietary management protocol that allows our FortiGate Next Generation Firewall to seamlessly manage any FortiSwitch. FortiLink enables the FortiSwitch to become a logical extension of the FortiGate, integrating it directly into the Fortinet Security Fabric. This management option reduces complexity and decreases management costs as network security and access layer functions are enabled and managed through a single console. FortiLink integration enables centralized policy management, including role-based access and control, making it easy to implement and manage. This control and manageability make FortiSwitch ideal for SD-Branch deployments.

Highlights

Designed for installations from desktops to wiring closets
Ideal for SD-Branch deployments
Optimal for converged network environments; enabling voice, data, and wireless traffic to be delivered across a single network
Centralized security and access management from FortiGate interface
Supports non-FortiLink deployments through onboard GUI, API, or command line configuration
Up to 48 ports in a compact 1 RU form factor
Stackable up to 300 switches per FortiGate depending on model
Supports Wire-speed switching and Store and Forward forwarding mode
