Managed from your FortiGate
Over FortiLink the FortiGate configures the switch ports, VLANs and security policy, so switching is part of the firewall setup.

- Form factor: desktop or 19-inch rack bracket, fanless.
- No FortiCare contract. Support, firmware updates and advance replacement need FortiCare, sold separately. Ask us for FortiCare pricing for this model.
Check the FortiGate limit: each FortiGate manages a set number of FortiSwitches over FortiLink, for example 8 on a FortiGate 40F and 16 on a 60F or 80F. Tell us your FortiGate model and we will confirm.
