Product description

The FortiSwitch-548D provides 48-port Gigabit access switching with 10GE SFP+ uplinks and redundant power supply support in a 1 RU chassis. Organizations running FortiLink-managed stacks with this model in production benefit from FortiCare Premium (FC-10-W0548-247-02-12): one year of 24×7 TAC support, 1-hour critical-issue response, and next-business-day advanced hardware replacement.

What FortiCare Premium Provides

FortiCare Premium on the FortiSwitch-548D covers Fortinet TAC access by telephone and web, around the clock. Severity 1 tickets carry a committed 1-hour response time, and the RMA service ships a replacement unit to you before the faulty switch is returned. The contract also grants access to FortiSwitchOS firmware updates, the Fortinet support portal, and asset lifecycle tracking, while qualifying the device for the Priority (Improved) RMA add-on if faster logistics are needed.

Who This Contract Is For

At 48 ports, the FortiSwitch-548D typically handles a distribution or aggregation role in a mid-size campus or branch environment. Downtime on an aggregation switch affects more endpoints than a smaller access model, making the 1-hour Severity 1 SLA particularly relevant. Teams that work on annual budget cycles, or that are evaluating the switch for end-of-life planning before committing to a multi-year term, find the 1-year contract a natural fit.

Activation and Delivery

Entitlement is delivered electronically within 0-1 business days. To activate, log into support.fortinet.com, enter the FortiSwitch-548D serial number, and apply the entitlement key. Coverage begins on the activation date and is tracked in the Fortinet asset portal. No physical components are shipped, and this license is valid in any country.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

FortiCare licenses for FortiSwitch are available through DataCenter360.ca as an authorized Fortinet Select Partner. The FS-548D FortiCare Premium 1-Year (FC-10-W0548-247-02-12) is in stock and can be ordered directly. Contracts are sourced through Fortinet’s official distribution channel, so TAC coverage is recognized from the first day of the term.

Is the FortiSwitch-548D still supported under a FortiCare Premium contract?
Yes. Fortinet continues to offer FortiCare contracts for the FS-548D. Review the Fortinet Product Lifecycle page before purchasing a multi-year contract to confirm that the End-of-Engineering-Support date aligns with your planned deployment window.

What is advanced hardware replacement and how does it differ from standard RMA?
With advanced replacement, Fortinet ships a new unit to you before the failed switch is returned to the depot. With standard (Essential) RMA, the failed device must be returned first, then a replacement follows. Advanced replacement significantly reduces outage time for switches in active production roles.

Can I purchase FortiCare Essential instead of Premium to save costs?
Yes. FortiCare Essential (FC-10-W0548-314-02-12) is available as a lower-cost option. It provides web support and standard return-and-replace RMA but drops 24×7 telephone TAC and the 1-hour critical response. For aggregation switches serving large numbers of endpoints, the tradeoff is worth careful evaluation.

Does FortiCare Premium for FortiSwitch include FortiGuard security services?
No. FortiCare Premium covers TAC support and hardware RMA for the switch. FortiGuard subscription services are FortiGate-specific. The FortiSwitch-548D does not consume FortiGuard feeds independently.

Can this license be activated in any country?
Yes. FortiCare contracts have no regional restrictions. This license is delivered electronically to any country and activates against the switch serial number on support.fortinet.com regardless of location.
