Fortinet 524D.
24-Port Aggregation Switch with 40GbE Uplinks
The FortiSwitch 524D is a 24-port aggregation switch built for the top of a campus or data-center network,
where you need high-bandwidth uplinks rather than dense edge ports. It combines 24x Gigabit RJ45 ports with
4x 10 Gigabit SFP+ and 2x 40 Gigabit QSFP+ uplinks, giving you room to aggregate multiple access switches
without a bottleneck. A PoE+ variant (524D-FPOE) is also available. FortiLink management from a FortiGate
brings the 524D into the Fortinet Security Fabric for unified, single-pane control.
Up to 288 Gbps switching capacity (higher on the FPOE
variant) Up to 428 Mpps forwarding rate 96K MAC address table for dense downstream deployments
Power & PoE
Base 524D is a data-only aggregation
switch PoE+ available on the 524D-FPOE variant Built for top-of-rack or aggregation placement
Management & Stacking
Zero-touch FortiLink management from a
FortiGate Standalone CLI/GUI management supported 40GbE QSFP+ uplinks built for aggregating multiple access-layer FortiSwitches
Not sure the 524D is the right fit?
Compare port counts, uplink speeds, and PoE options across the full FortiSwitch lineup to find the
aggregation switch that matches your network core.
The FortiSwitch 524D has 24 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports plus 4 10 Gigabit SFP+
uplinks and 2 40 Gigabit QSFP+ uplinks for high-bandwidth aggregation.
The base FS-524D is a data-only switch. A PoE+ variant, the FS-524D-FPOE, is
available if you need to power devices directly from this switch.
Yes. The 524D supports FortiLink, so a FortiGate can discover, configure, and monitor
it as part of the Security Fabric. It also supports standalone CLI and web GUI management.
The 524D includes 4 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks and 2 40 Gigabit QSFP+ uplinks, making it
well suited to sit above access-layer switches as an aggregation point.
The FortiSwitch 524D delivers up to 288 Gbps of switching capacity with a forwarding
rate of up to 428 Mpps, giving it enough headroom to aggregate multiple downstream switches.
