OVERVIEW

What the FortiSwitch 224E is for

The FortiSwitch 224E is a 24-port Gigabit access switch with four GE SFP uplinks, built for quiet wiring closets and desk connectivity where Power over Ethernet is not required. It delivers 24 Gigabit RJ45 access ports, four GE SFP fiber uplinks and 56 Gbps of switching capacity with Layer 2/3 FortiSwitchOS in a compact, fanless 1RU chassis. Managed over FortiLink from any FortiGate, it folds wired access into the Security Fabric - one console for switching, Wi-Fi and security, with no separate controller. It also runs standalone. Need PoE for access points, phones or cameras? The 224E-POE powers 12 ports (180 W) and the 224D-FPOE powers all 24 ports (370 W).

COMPARE THE LINEUP

How the 224E compares across the access line

The 224E is the 24-port data-only member of the 200-series Secure Access line. Step up to the 48-port 248D for larger closets, or move to the 224E-POE or 224D-FPOE when you need PoE. Same FortiSwitchOS and FortiLink management across the range.
