The FortiSwitch 3032E is Fortinet's highest-density data center spine switch — 32 ports of 100 GbE on QSFP28, each able to step down to 40/25/10 GbE, data only (no PoE), delivering 6.4 Tbps of switching capacity and 5,952 Mpps of forwarding in a 1 RU chassis. Built for spine-and-leaf fabrics and 100 GbE aggregation, it carries dual hot-swappable AC power supplies with front-to-back airflow and runs Layer 2/3 FortiSwitchOS. Managed over FortiLink from any FortiGate, it folds the data center fabric into the Security Fabric so switching and security share one console — no separate controller. It also runs standalone.
For high-density 25 GbE server access with 100 GbE uplinks, see the FortiSwitch 2048F. For a 24-port 10 GbE data center switch, see the FortiSwitch 1024E.
