Feature:
FortiSwitch Secure Access switches deliver a Secure, Simple, Scalable Ethernet solution with outstanding security, performance and manageability for threat conscious small to mid-sized businesses, distributed enterprises and branch offices. Tightly integrated into the FortiGate® Network Security Platform, the FortiSwitch Secure Access switches can be managed directly from the familiar FortiGate interface. This single pane of glass management provides complete visibility and control of all users and devices on the network, regardless of how they connect.
Security Fabric Integration
Reduces complexity and decreases management cost with network security functions managed through a single console via FortiGate. This integration allows all users to be authenticated against the same user database, regardless of whether they connect to the wired or wireless network, including temporary guest users.
In addition, same security policy can apply to a user or device regardless of how or where they connect to the network.
Simplify Network Deployment
The Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability in some models, enables simple installation of wireless Access Points and IP phones in the network.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the FortiSwitch FS-224E integrate with existing FortiGate firewalls? +
The FS-224E is designed for seamless FortiLink integration. By connecting it to a FortiGate, you gain centralized management where the firewall acts as the switch controller. This allows you to manage security policies and switch configuration through a single pane of glass, ensuring consistent network visibility and policy enforcement across both your security and access layers.
Does the FS-224E support Layer 3 routing functionality? +
Yes, this model supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality. It is capable of performing static routing, which helps offload traffic processing from the core firewall, reducing latency and improving overall network performance in distributed enterprise environments. This makes it an ideal choice for businesses requiring efficient inter-VLAN routing without the overhead of a dedicated Layer 3 core switch.
What is the port configuration of the FortiSwitch FS-224E? +
This switch is equipped with 24 x 10/100/1000Base-T GE RJ45 ports for standard copper connectivity, plus 4 x 1GE SFP uplink ports. This port density is specifically engineered for access-layer deployments, providing ample bandwidth for end-user devices while maintaining flexible fiber-optic uplink options to connect back to your distribution or core layer switches.
Is the FS-224E suitable for high-density office access deployments? +
The FS-224E is perfectly suited for office environments needing reliable 1GbE access. Its 24-port capacity fits standard racks and provides sufficient density for most wiring closets. When managed via FortiLink, you can easily implement automated device provisioning and security policies, simplifying the deployment of VoIP phones, printers, and workstations across large facilities.
Can I use the SFP ports for long-range uplinks? +
Yes, the 4 x 1GE SFP ports provide the flexibility to use various SFP transceivers, including long-range fiber modules. This allows you to extend connectivity beyond the limitations of copper cabling, making the FS-224E highly versatile for campus-style networking where switches might be located in different rooms or buildings across your facility.
How are security policies managed on the FS-224E? +
Security is enforced through the FortiGate switch controller. You can define access control lists (ACLs) and VLAN tagging directly on the firewall, which are then pushed automatically to the switch. This architecture ensures that network access is secure and compliant with your organization's security posture, preventing unauthorized access at the port level.
What management protocols are available for the FS-224E? +
Beyond FortiLink management via FortiGate, the switch offers standard management interfaces, including an intuitive GUI and a comprehensive Command Line Interface (CLI). This gives network administrators the flexibility to perform deep-level troubleshooting or rapid configuration changes using the method that best aligns with their operational workflows and skill sets.
What is the primary benefit of using the FS-224E in a managed network? +
The primary advantage is the convergence of your security and access layers. By utilizing FortiSwitch as part of the Fortinet Security Fabric, you reduce the operational complexity of managing separate infrastructures. This creates a unified environment where security threats are mitigated closer to the source while maintaining high-performance switching for your daily enterprise data traffic.
