All 124E models share the same 24-port / 56 Gbps platform with four GbE SFP uplinks. They differ by Power over Ethernet: the 124E-POE powers 12 ports (185 W), the 124E-FPOE powers all 24 ports (370 W), and the base 124E has no PoE output.
The 124E-POE is the partial-PoE, 24-port member of the E-series access line. Step up to the 48-port 148E for a larger wiring closet. Same FortiSwitchOS and FortiLink management across the range.
