FS-648F-FPOEFortinet FortiSwitch 648F-FPOE
List PriceThe Fortinet FortiSwitch 648F-FPOE is the PoE-equipped version of the 648F campus switch, part of the FortiSwitch campus family built to combine security, performance and manageability for enterprise campus networks. It shares the 648F's 32x 1GE/2.5GE plus 16x 1GE/2.5GE/5GE RJ45 ports and 8x 10GE/25GE SFP+/SFP28 uplinks, and adds 48 PoE ports (802.3af/at/bt type 4) with a 1800W power budget, capped at a maximum 1800W PoE output limit, for powering access points, phones and cameras directly from the switch.
The 648F-FPOE is designed to be managed through FortiLink, Fortinet's proprietary protocol that links a FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall to FortiSwitch hardware. FortiLink turns the switch into a logical extension of the FortiGate, so network security and access-layer switching functions, including PoE control, are handled from a single interface with centralized VLAN configuration and software upgrades across every managed switch.
Through FortiLink, the 648F-FPOE also gains basic Network Access Control (NAC) capability — profiling and securely onboarding devices as they connect, with automated segmentation and microsegmentation of IoT devices, quarantine for compromised endpoints, and virtual patching against emerging threats.

Frequently asked questions
How is the FortiSwitch 648F-FPOE managed?
Through FortiLink, connected to a FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall. This gives centralized VLAN configuration, software upgrades, PoE control, link aggregation and spanning tree management, LLDP/MED and IGMP snooping across all FortiLink-managed switches from a single console, with FortiGate handling Layer 3 routing, virtual domains and UTM features on the switch's behalf.
What's the difference between FortiCare Premium and Elite support?
Both are paid support tiers for the 648F-FPOE, available in 1, 3 or 5 year terms. Elite is priced above Premium at every term length, reflecting an enhanced service level; full SLA details are confirmed at quotation.
How much PoE power is available?
Up to 1800W across the 48 PoE ports, delivered as 802.3af/at/bt type 4, with a maximum 1800W PoE output limit for the switch — enough for a high-density deployment of access points, phones and cameras.
