Description

The Fortinet FortiSwitch FS-2048F is a high-performance, rack-mountable Layer 2/Layer 3 Ethernet switch designed for data centres, campus cores and high-capacity enterprise networks. It delivers multi-gigabit connectivity with a mix of 25 GbE and 100 GbE interfaces, extensive switching capacity and low latency — making it suitable for backbone aggregation, high-speed uplinks and scalable segmentation. The FS-2048F integrates seamlessly with Fortinet’s management frameworks, including FortiGate/FortiLink and FortiSwitch Cloud, enabling unified policy enforcement alongside high-performance switching.

Ideal deployment / environment:
The FS-2048F is designed for data-centre core and campus backbone switch deployments where high throughput, low latency and multi-gigabit connectivity are critical. Its combination of 48 SFP28 ports with flexible 1/10/25 GbE speed plus 8 QSFP28 ports for 40/100 GbE uplinks supports dense server aggregation, spine-leaf fabrics and high-bandwidth uplinks to routers or firewalls.

As a FortiLink-enabled switch, it integrates tightly with FortiGate security platforms for unified switching and security policy enforcement, ideal for secure enterprise cores, distributed campus networks and hybrid cloud edge aggregation layers. Redundant power and front-to-back airflow make it suitable for hardened rack environments and continuous 24/7 operation, while rich protocol support (LAG, LLDP, VLAN, Routing, ACLs, VXLAN, etc.) enables flexible, scalable network topologies.
