FS-T1024E

Fortinet FortiSwitch T1024E – switch – 24 ports – managed – rack-mountable (FS-T1024E)

Description

The Fortinet FortiSwitch T1024E is a high-performance, rack-mountable managed switch featuring 24 multi-Gigabit Ethernet ports (1/2.5/5/10G) and 2 100G QSFP28 uplink ports, designed for enterprise and data center environments. It offers advanced security, low latency, and seamless integration with Fortinet’s FortiGate firewalls via FortiLink, making it ideal for top-of-rack deployments and secure network aggregation.

FortiSwitch is commonly managed and deployed through our FortiGate with FortiLink but can also be deployed and managed in non-FortiGate environments.
