Scalable Uplink Architecture
Two 100GbE QSFP28 ports provide ample bandwidth for backbone connections, spine-leaf topologies, or high-speed links to storage and servers, ensuring the switch won't become a bottleneck as network demands grow.
- Supports 100GbE, 40GbE, and breakout configurations
- Enables flexible uplink strategy for evolving networks
Comprehensive Management & Security
As a fully manageable switch, it offers deep visibility and control through a wide range of networking protocols. Features like IEEE 802.1x for network access control and support for advanced QoS (IEEE 802.1p) help enforce security policies and prioritize critical traffic.
- Granular traffic management and monitoring
- Integrates with Fortinet Security Fabric for unified policy enforcement
Deployment / Use Cases
Ideal for data center top-of-rack deployments, the FS-1024E connects high-performance servers, storage arrays, and virtualization hosts with 10GbE interfaces while aggregating traffic to core switches via 100GbE uplinks. Its 1U form factor maximizes rack space efficiency in crowded data center environments.
In enterprise campus networks, it serves as a core or distribution layer switch, routing traffic between multiple access switches and providing high-speed connectivity to data center resources. The support for optical fiber makes it suitable for connecting buildings or floors over longer distances without signal degradation, and the stack port capability allows for simplified management of multiple switches as a single logical unit.
Data Center Server Access
Deploy at the top of the rack to provide 10GbE connectivity to servers and network-attached storage, with high-speed uplinks to the data center spine.
Enterprise Network Aggregation
Use as a distribution switch to aggregate traffic from multiple access switches, performing inter-VLAN routing and applying security policies before forwarding to the core.
Physical Profile
The switch is built for standard 19-inch rack mounting with a 1U height, conserving valuable rack space. Its dimensions of 1.71 inches in height, 17.26 inches in width, and 18.11 inches in depth fit typical rack enclosures, and the approximate weight of 14.50 pounds ensures manageable installation. The rack-mountable form factor includes proper ventilation and mounting hardware for secure, organized deployment in server rooms or data centers.
