Fortinet FortiSwitch 424E-POE

The Fortinet FortiSwitch 424E-POE is a Layer 2/3 secure access switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports, 4x 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks, and 802.3af/at PoE+ on all 24 RJ45 ports under a 250W power budget. It's part of the FortiSwitch Secure Access family built for threat-conscious businesses that need to power access points, phones and cameras from the same switch that carries their data.

Tightly integrated into the Fortinet Security Fabric via FortiLink, the 424E-POE can be managed directly from the familiar FortiGate interface. This single-pane-of-glass management gives complete visibility and control of users and devices on the network regardless of how they connect, making the 424E-POE well suited to SD-Branch deployments that span desktop access through to data center aggregation.

FortiLink reduces complexity and management cost, as network security and access-layer functions, including PoE control, are enabled and managed through a single console, with centralized, role-based policy management that's straightforward to implement and maintain.
