About the FortiSwitch FS-3032E
The FortiSwitch 3032E is widely regarded as the go-to 100GE spine switch in Fortinet's portfolio — a very common choice for building 100GE spine-leaf fabrics in enterprise data centres. With 32 × 100GE QSFP28 ports (also compatible with 40GE QSFP+), it provides the bandwidth and port density to function as the spine switch for large-scale leaf-spine architectures using FS-1024E or FS-1048E leaf switches.
Each 100GE QSFP28 port supports breakout mode, enabling connection to 4 × 25GE SFP28 leaf switch uplinks per port — effectively providing 128 × 25GE connections from a single 1U spine switch. The FS-3032E supports VXLAN VTEP functionality and EVPN control plane for integration with popular SDN platforms including VMware NSX-T and OpenStack.
6.4 Tbps of non-blocking switching capacity and 9,520 Mpps forwarding rate ensure the FS-3032E never becomes a bottleneck in even the most demanding east-west traffic data centre environments. Dual hot-swap redundant PSUs and fans provide carrier-grade reliability for 24/7 production spine operations.
