Secure Ethernet Switches
FortiSwitch offers secure, simple, scalable Ethernet solutions
Fortinet Launches New High-Performance Switches to Securely Connect the Modern Campus
The new FortiSwitch 600 and 2000 expand Fortinet’s secure, simplified, and scalable switching portfolio. They are designed with the performance and port density to meet the demands of the modern campus and scale as connectivity needs grow.
Fortinet LAN Edge Security
Flexible Management Options
Fortinet Ethernet switches can be managed standalone or through FortiOS via the FortiLink protocol. Centralized management of FortiOS can be implemented on-premises or in the cloud through FortiGate or FortiManager. This simplifies deployment and provisioning of FortiSwitch with zero-touch auto-discovery, provisioning, and security policy assignment. FortiSwitch can be managed without a FortiGate via FortiSwitch Manager on-premises, and in the cloud via FortiLAN Cloud.
