Fortinet FortiSwitch 1048E Ethernet Switch - Appliance Only
FortiSwitch Data Center switches deliver a Secure, Simple, Scalable Ethernet solution with outstanding throughput, resiliency and scalability. Virtualization and cloud computing have created dense high-bandwidth Ethernet networking requirements. FortiSwitch Data Center switches meet these challenges by providing a high performance 10 GE, 40 GE or 100 GE capable switching platform, with a low Total Cost of Ownership. Ideal for Top of Rack server or firewall aggregation applications, as well as SD-Branch network core deployments, these switches are purpose-built to meet the needs of today’s bandwidth intensive environments.
Security Fabric Integration through FortiLink
The FortiSwitch Data Center Series supports FortiGate management through FortiLink, extending the Fortinet Security Fabric to the Ethernet port level. This allows the same policies configured and applied to FortiGate interfaces to be applied to the FortiSwitch Ethernet ports, reducing complexity and decreases management cost. With network security and access layer functions enabled and managed through a single console, centralized policy management, including role-based access and control, are easy to implement and manage. Users or devices can be authenticated against the same database and have the same security policy applied regardless of how or where they connect to the network.
Deployment
FortiLink Mode
FortiLink is an innovative proprietary management protocol that allows our FortiGate Security Appliance to seamlessly manage any FortiSwitch. FortiLink enables the FortiSwitch to become a logical extension of the FortiGate integrating it directly into the Fortinet Security Fabric. This management option reduces complexity and decreases management cost as network security and access layer functions are enabled and managed through a single console.
Standalone Mode
The FortiSwitch has a native GUI and CLI interface. All configuration and switch administration can be accomplished through either of these interfaces. Available ReSTful API’s offer additional configuration and management options.
