Fortinet FortiSwitch 108E POE FortiCare Elite Support, 1-Year (FC-10-S108P-284-02-12)

FC-10-S108P-284-02-12 is a 1-year FortiCare Elite Support subscription for the FortiSwitch 108E POE. It delivers 24×7 TAC access, next-business-day advance hardware replacement, and full firmware update rights , Fortinet’s highest support tier at a low annual cost for a switch that powers multiple devices simultaneously.

What it covers

FortiCare Elite (service code 284) is Fortinet’s top support tier. The 1-year term includes 24x7x365 TAC access, next-business-day advance hardware replacement (Fortinet ships before you return the faulty unit), priority case escalation to senior engineers, and firmware update eligibility throughout the subscription.

The advance-ship RMA is the key differentiator over Essential and Premium: the replacement FS-108E-POE arrives before your defective unit leaves, minimizing the outage window on any powered segment.

Who needs it

The FS-108E-POE powers up to four PoE+ devices , IP phones, access points, cameras , from a single switch. A failure takes everything on that segment offline at once. Elite support is the right choice for small branches with no on-site IT, retail locations where a failed switch stops point-of-sale traffic, and multi-site Fortinet deployments that require uniform SLA coverage across every unit.

One service vs the bundle

FortiCare Elite covers TAC support and hardware replacement only. FortiGuard security subscriptions , threat intelligence, IPS signatures, web filtering , are sold separately under their own service codes and renewal schedule. Purchasing FC-10-S108P-284-02-12 does not activate any security content on the device. In a FortiManager-managed fabric, verify FortiGuard licenses are renewed independently to avoid a policy enforcement gap.
