Secure Networking Through FortiLink

FortiLink is an innovative proprietary management protocol that enables seamless integration and management between a FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall and the FortiSwitch Ethernet switching platform. By using FortiLink, the FortiSwitch becomes a logical extension of the FortiGate, allowing for centralized management of both network security and access layer functions through a single interface.

Easy-to-use Network Access Control (NAC) at No Cost

FortiLink integration enables basic NAC functionality to profile and securely onboard devices as they connect. FortiLink NAC offers visibility into all connected devices, automated segmentation and security policies for IoT devices, quarantine if compromised, and virtual patching to help protect against threats.

Built-in Ethernet Port Security

Traditional Ethernet port security demands manual effort and continuous maintenance, which is impractical for IT administrators of remote branches or small business. Consequently, Ethernet ports are frequently left unprotected. FortiSwitch access switching offers IT administrators the ability secure ports ensuring only approved users and devices get access to the network. The automation of port security without requiring 802.1x makes making policy enforcement easy to implement and manage while NGFW-level policies ensure granular control and zero-trust access for users and devices.

User- and Device-Based Access Control and Policy Enforcement

Whether leveraging Fortinet Identity Access Management (IAM) or third-party identity providers, FortiLink automation can leverage user identity to make granular role-based policy decisions, allowing you to implement zero-trust principles.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

This FortiSwitch enterprise architecture offers a built-in foundation for zero-trust network access (ZTNA) and secure access service edge (SASE), offering the flexibility to easily deploy the type and level of security you need at the edge of your network

Operational Simplicity

Deploying, managing, and perfecting an Ethernet switching infrastructure can be challenging and time-consuming, particularly when done remotely or with limited staff. FortiSwitch switching architecture can be securely deployed and managed in minutes through zero-touch deployment. Whether FortiSwitch is deployed in standalone mode or FortiLink mode, its easy-to-use intuitive workflows and unified views let you provision, manage, and optimize your small business or remote branches at scale. Whether cloud or on-premises, centralized management delivers a unified view of the LAN, security, and in the case of SD-Branch: SD-WAN and 5G wireless gateways. This feature provides a consistent user experience for optimal operational efficiency, simplifying management, optimization, and troubleshooting. The result is a shorter mean time to repair both network and security issues.

Scalable and Flexible for Branches or Small Business

FortiSwitch access architecture scales to meet the need of today's small business and remote branches without sacrificing security. Supporting up to 48 ports in a compact 1 RU form factor, FortiSwitch can deliver the performance and scale you require.

Eliminate Bottlenecks

With wire speed 1GE access ports and dedicated uplinks capable of speeds up 10GE, the FortiSwitch Access Series provides the performance and speed needed for next generation SD-Branch applications.

Next-Generation Power Over Ethernet Support

With PoE+ support in all models, FortiSwitch delivers and manages power for devices such as cameras, sensors, and wireless access points.
