Secure Ethernet Switches
Fortinet Named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure
Overview
Fortinet’s convergence of networking and security enables Ethernet to become an extension of the security infrastructure through FortiSwitch and FortiLink.

Our broad portfolio of secure, simple, and scalable Ethernet switches is ideal for the campus, SD-Branch, and data center.
Fortinet Launches New High-Performance Switches to Securely Connect the Modern Campus
The new FortiSwitch 600 and 2000 expand Fortinet’s secure, simplified, and scalable switching portfolio. They are designed with the performance and port density to meet the demands of the modern campus and scale as connectivity needs grow.
Fortinet LAN Edge Security
LAN edge equipment from Fortinet converges networking and security into a secure, simple-to-manage architecture with a single focal point for management and configuration. Through Secure Networking, Fortinet enables a secure LAN without the need for costly and complex licensing schemes.
Flexible Management Options
Fortinet Ethernet switches can be managed standalone or through FortiOS via the FortiLink protocol. Centralized management of FortiOS can be implemented on-premises or in the cloud through FortiGate or FortiManager. This simplifies deployment and provisioning of FortiSwitch with zero-touch auto-discovery, provisioning, and security policy assignment. FortiSwitch can be managed without a FortiGate via FortiSwitch Manager on-premises, and in the cloud via FortiEdge Cloud.
