Flexible Management Options

Fortinet Ethernet switches can be managed standalone or through FortiOS via the FortiLink protocol. Centralized management of FortiOS can be implemented on-premises or in the cloud through FortiGate or FortiManager. This simplifies deployment and provisioning of FortiSwitch with zero-touch auto-discovery, provisioning, and security policy assignment. FortiSwitch can be managed without a FortiGate via FortiSwitch NMS on-premises, and in the cloud via FortiEdge Cloud.
