Fortinet FortiSwitch-M426E-FPOE FortiCare Premium, 3-Year (FC-10-M426E-247-02-36)

Three renewals reduced to one purchase. FC-10-M426E-247-02-36 is a three-year FortiCare Premium contract on a single FortiSwitch-M426E-FPOE: 24/7 telephone and web support, 1-hour response on critical issues, and advanced hardware replacement, with no annual renewal to schedule for the duration. License only, no hardware, delivered electronically worldwide.

What FortiCare Premium covers

Premium gives the FortiSwitch-M426E-FPOE 24/7 telephone and web access to Fortinet’s support team, a 1-hour response commitment on P1 critical issues, and 4-hour on P2. If the unit fails, Fortinet ships the replacement before you return the defective device, cutting downtime compared to a return-and-replace process. The contract also entitles the registered unit to FortiSwitchOS firmware and security patch updates and access to Fortinet’s support portal and knowledge base for the full three-year term.

FortiCare tiers at a glance

FortiCare comes in three service levels. This contract is the Premium tier; the table shows where it sits relative to Essential and Elite.

Who needs Premium

Campus network teams that want Premium-level support on the FortiSwitch-M426E-FPOE without tracking an annual renewal deadline. Three years is long enough to match a typical PoE switch deployment cycle at many sites, and it locks in the coverage rate at today’s pricing. Teams running the M426E-FPOE as a production access layer switch, where the device powers IP phones or access points, benefit most from the combination of telephone access, 1-hour response, and advance replacement that Premium provides.

Activation and delivery

The contract is delivered electronically, typically within 0 to 1 business days, to any country. Register the contract number against the FortiSwitch-M426E-FPOE serial number in the FortiCare portal and support begins immediately. Nothing ships physically.

Premium versus Essential

Essential (FC-10-M426E-314-02-12) provides web support, firmware access, and return-and-replace RMA with next-business-day critical response. For a campus switch in a secondary role, Essential is often the right budget choice. For an M426E-FPOE powering PoE devices on a primary access layer, Premium’s telephone access, 1-hour response, and advance replacement matter when PoE devices drop and the problem trace leads back to the switch.
