Fortinet FortiSwitchRugged 216F-POE
Secure, Ruggedized Ethernet Switching

Overview:

Performance and Features Designed for Harsh Environments

FortiSwitch™ Rugged switches deliver all of the enterprise features, performance, and security of the trusted FortiSwitch secure, simple, scalable Ethernet solution. Our rugged switches have added hardware reinforcement and software features that make them ideal for deployments in hostile environments, as well as operational technology (OT) industrial and control networks.

Resilient, sturdy, and capable of withstanding intense temperature fluctuations, FortiSwitch Rugged ensures the integrity and performance of mission-critical networks in even the most challenging of deployments. When united with FortiGate Rugged Next-Generation Firewalls, IT and OT network administrators can deploy a converged Ethernet architecture that offers powerful cybersecurity protection engineered to survive in hostile environments.

The FortiSwitchRugged 216F-POE is a fanless, DIN-rail mounted switch providing 16x 10M/100M/1G RJ45 ports and 4x 1G/10G SFP/SFP+ ports, with 802.3af/at/bt PoE on all 16 copper ports and a 360W PoE power budget.

Security-Driven Networking Through FortiLink

FortiLink is an innovative proprietary management protocol that allows FortiGates 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 and offers basic network access control (NAC) functionality, making both easy to implement and manage. This converged Security-Driven architecture, centered around the FortiGate running FortiOS, offers better protection and lower cost of ownership than multiple point products. Coupled with the FortiGuard Industrial Security Service, it ensures that critical networks receive real-time protection.

Features:

• Durable. Mean time between failure is greater than 25 years. Designed to perform while enduring hostile conditions with built to ingress protection up to IP30 and IP40 standards.
• Industrial Application Ready. Supports Precision Time Protocol IEEE1588v2, HSR/PRP to implement zero-loss redundancy on wired Ethernet, and meets power substations requirements IEEE1613 / IEC 61850-3.
• Fanless. Passive cooling with no fan and no moving parts.
• High Performance. Gigabit Ethernet speeds and above on all ports with auto negotiation to support legacy devices.
• Next-Generation PoE Support. With PoE support in all models and next-generation PoE++ in specific models, FortiSwitch Rugged can deliver and manage power where needed for devices such as cameras, sensors, and wireless access points.
• Multiple Form Factors. DIN-rail and rack mount options.
• Zero-touch Deployment. Auto discovery and simplified configuration enable rapid deployment of network services.
• Layer 2 and Layer 3 Options.
• Entry-Level NAC Included.* Secure onboarding standard IoT devices at no additional charge with the FortiGuard IoT service, available for OT.
• Redundant Power Inputs. Maximize network availability by eliminating the downtime associated with failure of a power input.

* Requires FortiLink-enabled deployment.
