The Fortinet FortiSwitch 124E is a 24-port Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2+ access switch designed for branch
offices and campus wiring closets that need higher port density. With 4 Gigabit SFP uplinks and a 1U
rack-mount design, it scales easily and pairs with a FortiGate over FortiLink for centralized,
security-aware management.
The FortiSwitch 124E has 24x Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports and 4x Gigabit SFP uplink
ports.
The base 124E model does not include PoE. Fortinet offers the 124E-POE (12 PoE+
ports, 185W budget) and 124E-FPOE (24 PoE+ ports, 370W budget) variants for powering access points,
phones, and cameras.
Yes, the 124E connects to a FortiGate over FortiLink, and multiple FortiSwitch units
can be managed together in a single FortiLink group for unified visibility and security policy
enforcement.
The 124E does not use traditional hardware stacking; instead, multiple units are
joined and centrally managed as a single logical fabric through FortiLink under a FortiGate.
The 124F is the newer generation 24-port switch with a higher 128 Gbps switching
capacity and 10G SFP+ uplinks, compared to the 124E's 56 Gbps switching capacity and Gigabit SFP
uplinks.
