FortiSwitch Series
The FortiSwitch Series delivers secure, scalable Ethernet switching tightly integrated with FortiGate firewalls. Designed for access, campus, core, and industrial environments, FortiSwitch simplifies network management while extending enterprise-grade security to every wired port.
What Is FortiSwitch?
FortiSwitch is a family of managed Ethernet switches that operate as a logical extension of the FortiGate firewall using FortiLink. This architecture enables centralised control, consistent security policy enforcement, and simplified deployment across the entire wired network.
From small office access switching to high-capacity campus and data centre cores, the FortiSwitch Series supports modern networks that require performance, visibility, and security in a single platform.
