Description
Fortinet FortiSwitch FS-124E-POE is a secure access switch built for branch offices and small business networks that want simple deployment, centralized control, and PoE for edge devices. It integrates with FortiGate via FortiLink so you can manage switching and access policies from a single interface, with automated discovery and streamlined rollouts.
Key highlights
-
24 x 1GbE RJ45 access ports + 4 x 1GbE SFP uplinks
-
12 x PoE+ ports (802.3af/at) with a 185W PoE budget (great for APs, phones, cameras, IoT)
-
56 Gbps switching capacity, 83 Mpps throughput, and 4 ¼s latency for smooth day-to-day traffic
-
1RU rack-mount form factor
-
Centralized FortiGate management (FortiLink) including auto-discovery, upgrades, VLANs, stacking, and policy enforcementsupports large-scale rollouts (up to 300 switches via FortiGate, per datasheet)
Security & access control (typical use cases)
-
Strong edge controls like 802.1X, DHCP snooping, MAC controls, intra-VLAN traffic policies, and host quarantine capabilities (when integrated as described)
