FortiSwitch Secure Access Switches

Ethernet switches are fundamental networking devices that connect multiple devices on a local area network (LAN) and forwards data packets between them. Unlike hubs, they use MAC addresses for efficient, targeted packet delivery, reducing network congestion and improving performance. Modern switches support features like Power over Ethernet (PoE), VLANs, and Layer 3 routing. Explore user reviews and comparisons to find the best Ethernet switch for your network infrastructure.

Features common across Ethernet switches.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Allows users to power devices directly from the Ethernet switch.

Management Interface

The Interface allows for configuration and monitoring of the devices on your network.

Hardware Security

Allows users to implement security capabilities such as access control lists, virtual LANs for segmenting traffic or DDoS protection.

Quality of Service (QoS)

Enables the prioritization of traffic to ensure network performance.

Switch Scalability

Ability to add new switches to the network (possibly through stacking) to enable more bandwidth.

Switch Redundancy

The switch follows a redundancy protocol, such as the parallel redundancy protocol (PRP) or high-availability seamless redundancy (HSR) to ensure network performance in the event of a device or power failure.

Link Aggregation (LACP)

Allows users to combine Ethernet links, resulting in more bandwidth, better load balancing, and redundancy.

We are currently using FortiSwitches Secure Access Switches in our corporate headquarters as our primary network switches. Along with the FortiGate firewalls and FortiAP access points that we have, these all provide one seamless solution from the edge of our network inward to help secure our users and servers. Having all FortiNet devices provides for a single pane of glass to configure and manage all these devices.

Makes them easy to manage within one spot
Allows for advanced network configuration
Has plenty of power for all our PoE devices

Would be nice to have a bit different layout on the configuration page. Sometimes can be hard to find what you're looking for.
When disabling ports, it would be nice to have batch setting features rather than having to make changes individually.

Integration with existing FortiGate firewalls
Single pane of glass management and configuration with other FortiNet devices
Cloud monitoring of network traffic

It has made management of the network much easier and less time consuming
We are more confident that our network traffic is being secured
Ability to monitor network traffic and detect potential anomalies
