Watch NowLAN edge equipment from Fortinet converges networking and security into a secure, simple-to-manage architecture with a single focal point for management and configuration. Through Secure Networking, Fortinet enables a secure LAN without the need for costly and complex licensing schemes.
Watch Now
Fortinet Ethernet switches can be managed standalone or through FortiOS via the FortiLink protocol. Centralized management of FortiOS can be implemented on-premises or in the cloud through FortiGate or FortiManager. This simplifies deployment and provisioning of FortiSwitch with zero-touch auto-discovery, provisioning, and security policy assignment. FortiSwitch can be managed without a FortiGate via FortiSwitch Manager on-premises, and in the cloud via FortiEdge Cloud.
