Fortinet FortiSwitch 110G FPOE FortiCare Essential Support for FortiSwitch, 5-Year (FC-10-M10GF-314-02-60)

For a FortiSwitch 110G FPOE that anchors a stable access layer with no planned replacement in the near term, five years of support under a single contract covers the bulk of the hardware’s mid-life window without a single renewal action. FC-10-M10GF-314-02-60 delivers 60 months of FortiCare Essential Support: continuous TAC access, FortiSwitchOS firmware eligibility, and return-and-replace RMA, all activated from one registration. This SKU is a renewal-only contract and is not available with initial hardware purchase.

What it covers

Across its 60-month term, FC-10-M10GF-314-02-60 entitles the registered FS-110G to 24×7 online TAC case submission, all FortiSwitchOS firmware releases including security patches, FortiCloud asset management portal access, and return-and-replace RMA with a next-business-day critical response commitment. Five years of continuous firmware eligibility is especially relevant for FS-110G units integrated into a Fortinet Security Fabric, where FortiSwitchOS version compatibility with an upstream FortiGate must be actively maintained across every major OS release cycle.

Who needs it

A 5-year term is the right choice for FortiSwitch 110G FPOE units in mature, stable environments where the hardware is expected to serve through its full support lifecycle. Government agencies, healthcare networks, and post-secondary education institutions that operate on long procurement horizons and multi-year maintenance budgets find the 5-year term reduces both renewal workload and the risk of a missed expiry creating a support gap. It is also practical for any organization that wants to avoid re-entering a procurement cycle for the same device within the planning period.
