Fortinet FortiSwitch 108F POE FortiCare Elite Support, 1-Year (FC-10-F108P-284-02-12)

At $77.20, this 1-year FortiCare Elite contract covers your FortiSwitch 108F POE without locking your organization into a multi-year commitment. Organizations that refresh access switches every one to two years, or those evaluating Fortinet’s top support tier for the first time, get full Elite-level coverage on their own schedule. Every entitlement is identical to the longer terms: 24×7 phone and portal TAC access, next-business-day advanced hardware replacement, firmware and signature updates, and priority routing to Fortinet’s premium support engineers.

What it covers

FortiCare Elite (service code 284) is Fortinet’s highest standalone support tier for the FS-108F-POE. This 1-year contract activates 24×7 TAC access by phone and the Fortinet Support Portal, next-business-day (NBD) advanced hardware replacement, firmware and security signature download rights, and a faster escalation path than FortiCare Premium. When a case is opened, Elite accounts receive dedicated attention and proactive handling rather than standard queue processing. Coverage begins from the activation date and runs for exactly 12 months.

Who needs it

This 1-year term fits three kinds of buyers. First, IT teams whose hardware refresh cycles align to annual budgets and who do not want support extending past a planned device replacement. Second, organizations trialing FortiCare Elite to measure response quality before committing to a longer contract. Third, smaller networks where the FS-108F-POE is a non-critical access switch and the team prefers to revisit coverage at year-end. If your refresh window is uncertain, the annual term gives you a clean decision point without unused coverage.

Activation & delivery

FC-10-F108P-284-02-12 is a software license delivered electronically. After purchase, Fortinet issues a registration key tied to the FS-108F-POE serial number. Activation is completed at support.fortinet.com. No hardware is shipped, and there are no geographic restrictions on delivery. The contract attaches to an existing, registered FS-108F-POE unit. Register the key promptly after purchase; the 12-month term begins on the activation date, not the purchase date.

One service vs the bundle

Fortinet sells FortiSwitch hardware in bundle SKUs (BDL) that pair the switch and a support contract in a single purchase. FC-10-F108P-284-02-12 is a standalone support contract for an FS-108F-POE already in service. It covers support only, not the switch hardware. If the unit’s original bundle support has expired, or the hardware was purchased without a bundle, this contract restores Elite-tier coverage directly. Before ordering, confirm the hardware serial number is registered on the Fortinet Support Portal and that the unit is still within Fortinet’s hardware support lifecycle.
