Description
Fortinet FortiSwitch 3032G (Likely Equivalent to FortiSwitch-3032E)
Fortinet FortiSwitch 3032G is a high-performance campus core / data center Ethernet switch in the FortiSwitch family designed for environments that need very high throughput, ultra-dense 100 GbE/40 GbE connectivity, low latency, and enterprise-grade resiliency. If you meant FortiSwitch-3032E, the 3032G model is the equivalent enterprise-grade high-density switch in that series used for core or aggregation roles.
