OVERVIEW

What the FortiSwitch 424E-POE is for

The FortiSwitch 424E-POE is a 24-port Gigabit access switch with PoE+ on every port and four 10GE SFP+ uplinks, built for wiring closets that need to power access points, IP phones and cameras at moderate density. It delivers 24 PoE+ (802.3af/at) ports on a 250 W budget, four 10GE SFP+ fiber uplinks and 128 Gbps of switching capacity, in a 1RU rack-mount chassis with optional redundant AC power. Managed over FortiLink from any FortiGate, it integrates wired access into the Security Fabric — one console for switching, Wi-Fi and security, with no separate controller. It also runs standalone. Need more PoE headroom? The 424E-FPOE raises the budget to 421 W; the data-only 424E drops PoE entirely.
