About the FortiSwitch FS-248E-POE
The FortiSwitch 248E-POE delivers enterprise-grade access layer switching with partial PoE coverage — 24 of the 48 GE RJ45 ports are PoE+ capable with a combined 370W budget. For enterprise campuses and medium-large offices where not every port needs to power a device, the 248E-POE provides the right balance of port density, PoE coverage, and cost.
Like all FortiSwitch models, the FS-248E-POE is managed via FortiLink from FortiGate — integrating switching, PoE management, VLAN configuration, and access policies into the unified FortiOS management plane. This significantly reduces the operational complexity of managing large switched networks across multiple sites.
