What is the PoE budget and power supply setup?

The switch provides a 740W PoE PSE budget across 48 ports, with internal dual hot-swappable PSUs (2 included, up to 2 maximum) for redundancy. This ensures reliable power delivery to PoE+ devices like APs and cameras without interruptions in mission-critical setups.

What are the key performance specifications?

Switching capacity is 176 Gbps, forwarding rate 262 Mpps, with latency under 1 µs. It supports 16,000 MAC addresses and 4,000 VLANs, enabling high-throughput, low-delay operation for demanding Layer 2/3 networks with protocols like OSPFv2 and VRRP.

Is it compatible with FortiGate management?

Yes, fully compatible as a Layer 2/3 FortiGate switch controller device, supporting seamless integration for centralized management. Features OSPFv2, RIPv2, VRRP, with BGP and ISIS on higher models, simplifying secure access in Fortinet ecosystems.

What are the physical dimensions and weight?

The 1U rack-mount form factor measures 440 mm x 410 mm x 44 mm (W x D x H) and weighs 7.01 kg. This compact design fits standard 19-inch racks, with 512 MB DRAM and 128 MB flash for efficient operation in data centers or wiring closets.

What management features are available?

Managed via FortiGate switch controller for Layer 2/3 operations, including VLANs, OSPFv2, RIPv2, and VRRP. Console and dedicated management ports provide direct access, with memory specs of 512 MB DDR3 and 128 MB flash ensuring robust firmware and configuration handling.
