What ports does the FortiSwitch 424D have?

It includes 24x GE RJ45 Ethernet ports for access, 2x 10GE SFP+ uplink ports for high-speed connectivity, and 1x 10/100/1000 management-only port. This configuration supports IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet and 10G standards, with auto-negotiation and MDI/MDIX for easy deployment.

What is the switching capacity of this model?

The FortiSwitch 424D provides 128 Gbps switching capacity and throughput, with 190 Mpps packets per second and <1µs latency. It features a 16K MAC address table and 1.5 MB packet buffer, ensuring non-blocking performance for enterprise traffic.

Is it compatible with FortiGate firewalls?

Yes, the FS-424D is FortiGate switch controller compatible, allowing direct management from the FortiGate interface. This integration supports unified security policies, port mirroring, 802.1x authentication, and seamless topology discovery via LLDP.

What Layer 2 features are supported?

Supports STP/RSTP/MSTP, 4K VLANs, 8-port LAG with 13 groups via LACP (802.3ad), and IPv4/IPv6 dual stack. Additional features include SNTP, port mirroring, and tagged VLANs for robust network segmentation and resilience.

What are the power and form factor details?

1U rack-mountable chassis (1.75" H x 17.3" W x 10.1" D, ~7-8 lbs) with internal AC power supply (100-240V, 50-60 Hz). Average power consumption is 17.3W, max 17.2W, no PoE budget as this is the non-POE model.

What is the MAC address table size?

The switch supports a 16K MAC address table, suitable for medium to large Layer 2 domains. Combined with 32K in some references for series, it handles extensive device populations in campus environments.
