FortiSwitch 300 Series
24-Port 2.5GbE Multigig Secure Access Switch
The FortiSwitch Access Family is tailored to meet the unique demands of enterprise branch offices and small businesses. An unparalleled combination of security, ease of use, and scalability makes FortiSwitch™ the ideal choice for Ethernet infrastructure.
Managing a remote enterprise branch or small business network can be a challenging task due to various factors including a lack of visibility of connected devices, limited time and tools for LAN management, and a shortage of skilled personnel. The FortiSwitch Secure Access family seamlessly integrates Ethernet networking with advanced security features, effectively eliminating the silos that hinder day-to-day management. Feature-rich and easy to manage with a low total cost of ownership, FortiSwitch emerges as the optimal choice for remote enterprise-branch and small-businesses Ethernet networks.
FortiLink is an innovative proprietary management protocol that enables seamless integration and management between a FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall and the FortiSwitch Ethernet switching platform. By using FortiLink, the FortiSwitch becomes a logical extension of the FortiGate, allowing for centralized management of both network security and access layer functions through a single interface.
Easy-to-use Network Access Control (NAC) at No Cost
FortiLink integration enables basic NAC functionality to profile and securely onboard devices as they connect. FortiLink NAC offers visibility into all connected devices, automated segmentation and security policies for IoT devices, quarantine if compromised, and virtual patching to help protect against threats.
Built-in Ethernet Port Security
Traditional Ethernet port security demands manual effort and continuous maintenance, which is impractical for IT administrators of remote branches or small business. Consequently, Ethernet ports are frequently left unprotected. FortiSwitch access switching offers IT administrators the ability secure ports ensuring only approved users and devices get access to the network. The automation of port security without requiring 802.1x makes making policy enforcement easy to implement and manage while NGFW-level policies ensure granular control and zero-trust access for users and devices.
User- and Device-Based Access Control and Policy Enforcement
Whether leveraging Fortinet Identity Access Management (IAM) or third-party identity providers, FortiLink automation can leverage user identity to make granular role-based policy decisions, allowing you to implement zero-trust principles.
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)
This FortiSwitch enterprise architecture offers a built-in foundation for zero-trust network access (ZTNA) and secure access service edge (SASE), offering the flexibility to easily deploy the type and level of security you need at the edge of your network.
Deploying, managing, and perfecting an Ethernet switching infrastructure can be challenging and time-consuming, particularly when done remotely or with limited staff.
FortiSwitch switching architecture can be securely deployed and managed in minutes through zero-touch deployment. Whether FortiSwitch is deployed in standalone mode or FortiLink mode, its easy-to-use intuitive workflows and unified views let you provision, manage, and optimize your small business or remote branches at scale.
Whether cloud or on-premises, centralized management delivers a unified view of the LAN, security, and in the case of SD-Branch: SD-WAN and 5G wireless gateways. This feature provides a consistent user experience for optimal operational efficiency, simplifying management, optimization, and troubleshooting. The result is a shorter mean time to repair both network and security issues.
FortiSwitch access architecture scales to meet the need of today’s small business and remote branches without sacrificing security. Supporting up to 48 ports in a compact 1 RU form factor, FortiSwitch can deliver the performance and scale you require.
Eliminate Bottlenecks
With wire speed 1GE access ports and dedicated uplinks capable of speeds up 10GE, the FortiSwitch Access Series provides the performance and speed needed for next generation SD-Branch applications.
Next-Generation Power Over Ethernet Support
With PoE+ support in all models, FortiSwitch delivers and manages power for devices such as cameras, sensors, and wireless access points.
