About the FortiSwitch 424E managed switch

The FortiSwitch 424E is a 24-port managed Layer 2/3 access switch designed for enterprise campus and branch deployments. It provides a high-density, cost-effective switching fabric with integrated security-ready architecture that aligns with the Fortinet Security Fabric ecosystem, enabling seamless integration with FortiGate firewalls and other security appliances for unified threat management.

Equipped with 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and uplink capability, the 424E delivers non-blocking throughput and low-latency switching suitable for access-layer deployments in mid-sized to large organizations. The switch supports VLAN segmentation, link aggregation, and basic routing functionality, allowing network administrators to implement granular network policies and traffic isolation at the edge.

The 424E operates as a managed switch with web-based and CLI management interfaces, supporting SNMP monitoring, syslog export, and integration with Fortinet's FortiLink management protocol for centralized visibility and control within a broader Security Fabric deployment.

Ideal for

  • Branch office network consolidation with integrated FortiGate security appliance connectivity
  • Campus access layer deployment for departmental or floor-level network segmentation
  • VLAN-based network isolation for multi-tenant or multi-workload environments
  • High-density Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for workstations, VoIP phones, and IoT devices
  • Stackable switching fabric expansion for growing enterprise access networks
  • Retail or hospitality locations requiring managed switching with centralized FortiGate policy enforcement
