Product Overview
The Fortinet FS-124f-poe is an extremely performing secure access switch that is capable of easing edge connectivity and providing outstanding Power over Ethernet (PoE+) to vital devices. As a FortiSwitch Secure Access platform, it is capable of being managed with the FortiGate firewalls in the FortiLink. It can be synchronously configured in the FortiLink platform as a part of the Forti fabric.
The FS-124F-POE features 24 Gigafix Ethernet ports and 4 uplinks (10-Gigabit SFP+) to provide density and speed to contemporary enterprise networks. It has 12 copper ports with PoE+, with a total power budget of 185 W, which is conveniently used to provide power to a wireless access point, IP phones, and surveillance systems. This switch is compact and rack-mountable, designed specifically to support small to mid-sized enterprises, branch offices, and SD-Branch deployment.
Key Features and Benefits
Power and Connectedness in a Single Place
Provide 12 PoE + ports over Ethernet to deliver both power and data to devices without the use of external power supplies.
High-Speed Uplink Capacity
Support applications and scalability of 10-Gigabit SFP+ uplink with four ports, and ensure smooth backbone or aggregation connectivity.
Enterprise Grade Switching Performance
Flexibility: Achieve 128 Gbps capacity and up to 190 Mpps forwarding rates with wire-speed switching and low latency on voice, video, and data traffic.
Fluid design Interaction
Make management easier using FortiLink, which enables centralized policy implementation and configuration under a FortiGate firewall.
Scalable Edge Deployment
Supports 4,000 VLANs, L2 (STP, RSTP, MSTP, LACP) and quality of service (QoS) to support a wide range of network needs.
Flexible Installation
The Smart temperature-controlled fans incorporated in a 1U rack-mount version are designed to provide efficiency in cooling the rack and quiet operation of the racks used in wiring closets or the branch sites.

Product Information
Fortinet FS-124F-POE fills the performance and ease of use gap in enterprise networking. Its 24 Gigabit ports present secure access for end-user devices, and 12 PoE+ ports remove the need for external power injectors, supplying power to the Ethernet cable. It has 4 high-speed SFP+ uplinks that provide efficient backbone connections and cater to future bandwidth requirements.
The FS-124F-POE, when configured using FortiLink, is an extension of the FortiGate firewall, with which it shares security policies and is centrally managed to make it easier to deploy. Together with the high-level L2 functionality, high-quality QoS, and powerful PoE, this switch makes a wise decision in case an organization uses voice, video, wireless, and IoT devices at the edge.
