About the FortiSwitch 248F-FPOE
The FortiSwitch 248F-FPOE delivers a forwarding architecture engineered for high-performance campus and data centre deployments, with a 176 Gbps switching capacity and a forwarding rate of 130.94 Mpps that ensures wire-speed packet processing across all 52 ports. This Fortinet-built 1U rack-mount switch combines 48 x 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE/PoE+ access ports with 4 x 10GE SFP+ uplink ports, backed by a 740 W total PoE power budget compliant with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards. With support for jumbo frames up to 9,216 bytes and a MAC address table capacity of 32,768 entries, the FS-248F-FPOE is purpose-built for organisations requiring dense port counts, resilient power delivery, and high-speed inter-switch connectivity in a compact form factor.
Network engineers and IT infrastructure teams select the Fortinet FortiSwitch 248F-FPOE when campus-wide PoE expansion and unified security fabric integration are non-negotiable. Layer 2 protocol support includes STP, RSTP, MSTP, LACP (802.3ad), LLDP, and LLDP-MED, while Layer 3 capabilities encompass static routing and RIP v1/v2. QoS provisioning is handled via 8 queues per port with DSCP and 802.1p marking, and access control is enforced through 802.1X port-based NAC with dynamic VLAN assignment. The switch integrates seamlessly with Fortinet's security ecosystem through FortiLink management and the FortiOS Security Fabric, enabling centralised policy enforcement across distributed networks. Redundant power supply support and an operating temperature range of 0°C to 45°C ensure availability in varied deployment environments. Management connectivity is provided via RJ-45 console and a dedicated management port.
Whether you are consolidating access-layer switching, deploying IP telephony infrastructure, or building out branch-office resilience, the FS-248F-FPOE offers the throughput, density, and management integration your enterprise requires.

Frequently Asked Questions about FortiSwitch 248F-FPOE
Does the FortiSwitch 248F-FPOE support our SFP transceivers?
Most enterprise switches ship without transceivers; we quote vendor-matched optics alongside the switch (Cisco-genuine for Catalyst/Nexus, HPE/Aruba-genuine for CX, Juniper-genuine for QFX/EX). Third-party MSA-compatible options are also available at lower cost — specify preference in the RFQ.
Do you provide stacking / VPC / MLAG configuration help?
Yes — our network engineers can pre-stage stacking, VPC pairs, MLAG, EVPN-VXLAN, or fabric extender configurations in advance, or provide remote commissioning. Add commissioning to your RFQ.
What software licensing is included?
Switch software licensing varies by vendor. Cisco DNA / Cisco DCNM, Aruba CX licensing tiers, Juniper Premium, NVIDIA Cumulus — we quote the licensing tier matched to your features (BGP-EVPN, telemetry, automation). No surprises later.
Is the support global?
Yes — manufacturer hardware support is global (return-to-vendor or advance replacement depending on tier). For 24x7 same-day on-site replacement, attach a SmartNet / Foundation Care / J-Care contract during quoting.
