Supported models
Introduction
NOTE: FortiLink is not supported in Transparent mode.
The maximum number of supported FortiSwitch units depends on the FortiGate model:
|
|
Up to FortiGate-98 and FortiGate-VM01 8
FortiGate-100 to 280 and FortiGate-VM02 24
FortiGate-300 to 5xx 48
FortiGate-600 to 900 and FortiGate-VM04 64
FortiGate-1000 and up 128
FortiGate-3xxx and up and FortiGate-VM08 and up 300
Supported models
The following table shows the FortiSwitch models that support FortiLink mode when paired with the corresponding FortiGate models and the listed minimum software releases. For example, the FGT-500E model with FortiOS 5.6.3 and later supports all FortiSwitch D-series and E-series models running FortiSwitchOS 3.6.0 and later.
Each row includes support for earlier FortiGate models. For example, the FGT-500E row includes support by the FortiGate models in the rows above it.

Before you begin
Before you configure the managed FortiSwitch unit, the following assumptions have been made in the writing of this manual:
- You have completed the initial configuration of the FortiSwitch unit, as outlined in the QuickStart Guide for your FortiSwitch model, and you have administrative access to the FortiSwitch web-based manager and CLI.
- You have installed a FortiGate unit on your network and have administrative access to the FortiGate web-based manager and CLI.
