Is PoE supported and what's the budget?

Yes, all 24 GE ports support PoE+ with a maximum 400W budget on single PSU (up to 720W dual). This powers devices like APs and cameras efficiently, with automatic limit to prevent overload in high-density deployments.

What is the switching capacity and latency?

Switching capacity is 288 Gbps duplex, forwarding rate 428 Mpps, with network latency under 2µs. Supports 36K MAC addresses, 4K VLANs, ideal for low-latency enterprise access layers with Layer 2/3 features.

Does it integrate with FortiGate?

Yes, fully compatible as Layer 2/3 FortiGate switch controller managed device. Enables centralized security, policy enforcement, and zero-touch provisioning, streamlining operations in Fortinet ecosystems for branches and campuses.

What are the physical and power specs?

1 RU rack-mountable (1.75x13.8x17.3 inches), side-to-back airflow, 32.8-35 dBA noise. Hot-swappable PSUs, 100-240V AC input, max 579W at full PoE, operating 0-45°C, MTBF >10 years with global certifications.

What advanced features are included?

Features 4 MB packet buffers, 1K ACLs, 32 STP instances, 24 link aggregation groups, 16K IPv4/IPv6 routes. 2 GB DRAM and 128 MB flash support robust performance for secure, scalable networking in enterprise environments.
