    Secure Network Infrastructure Enhanced by FortiGate Switch and FortiLink Connectivity

    5.0
    Jan 24, 2026
    The seamless integration with FortiGate via FortiLink is one of its strongest advantages, making centralized management and enforcement straightforward and efficient. It simplifies network admin, especially in environments that already use Fortinet products. The switch provides reliable performance, solid layer 2 functionality and adequate layer 3 features for most small to mid-sized deployments. Security features like 802.1x authentication, VLAN segmentation and port security are well implemented contributing to a more secure network infrastructure.
