PoE, fibre and uplinks

• 802.3bt PoE: the FPOE models of the 324G, 348G, 624F and 648F use 802.3bt, with total budgets from 420 W (FS-324G-FPOE) to 1,800 W (FS-648F-FPOE) in the Fortinet descriptions. That suits floors of Wi-Fi 7 access points.
• Fibre aggregation: the FS-324G-1G-FIBER (24 x 1 GE SFP, 6 x 10 GE SFP+ uplinks and MACsec, in Fortinet's description) is the current fibre model for collecting runs from other cabinets or buildings. Fortinet has announced end of order for the FS-424E-FIBER (24 x GE SFP, 4 x 10 GE SFP+); it stays in the table while it can still be ordered, and the FS-324G-1G-FIBER is the model we suggest in its place.
• Uplinks: 10G SFP+ on the 300 and 400 series and 25G SFP28 on the 600 series. The Fortinet descriptions list MACsec on the 348G, 624F and 648F.

Licensing and FortiCare

No licence is needed to manage these switches from a FortiGate over FortiLink, and Fortinet says "FortiSwitch offers many features, including NAC, without additional licensing". A FortiManagement Cloud licence "is required for a standalone FortiSwitch deployment". Advanced Features licences are optional per series (FS-SW-LIC-300, FS-SW-LIC-400 and FS-SW-LIC-600). FortiCare Premium or Elite support is offered per switch for 1, 3 or 5 years; the codes are below.

Building a Fortinet campus

A typical design uses FortiSwitch 600 series at the access layer for Wi-Fi 7 floors, the FS-324G-1G-FIBER for fibre aggregation, and a FortiGate firewall as the switch controller, with FortiManager for multi-site estates. For smaller offices, see the Secure Access Series. We can design, supply, stage, install and configure the whole stack, with the scope confirmed at quote.
