The FortiSwitch 3032G provides 40 / 100 Gbps access ports in 32-port configurations with n/a uplinks. Managed directly from a FortiGate over FortiLink, no separate switch controller to buy, licence or run.
Thirty-two ports at 40 or 100 Gbps, a spine or high-density aggregation switch, and the largest FortiSwitch. There are no access-layer considerations here at all: the decision is fabric design, optics and rack power. Confirm the FortiGate's maximum managed-switch count before designing a FortiLink estate around it, since that ceiling ranges from 8 on an entry-level firewall to 300 at the high end.
How to work out whether it fits
The arithmetic a datasheet leaves out. If any of it does not match your situation, that is worth a call rather than a guess.
Spine sizing is about port count and oversubscription, not features. Thirty-two ports at 100 Gbps sets a hard ceiling on how many leaf switches this can serve, and that number, not throughput, decides how many you need. Confirm the FortiGate's managed-switch limit too if these will run under FortiLink: it ranges from eight to three hundred, and a fabric designed past that ceiling has to be redesigned rather than expanded.
What to order alongside the FortiSwitch 3032G
The published threat protection figure for this model is measured with IPS, application control and malware protection all running. Those arrive as a FortiGuard subscription, so the bundle you choose decides whether the hardware can reach the number you sized it on. Every bundle already includes FortiCare Premium 24x7 support.
| Bundle | What it adds | 1 yearlist price | 3 yearslist price | 5 yearslist price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enterprise ProtectionENT | The broadest bundle. Everything in UTP, plus the services that cover data, SaaS posture and attack-surface visibility, plus inline zero-day malware prevention. | on quote | on quote | on quote |
| Unified Threat ProtectionUTP | The traditional mid-tier: perimeter defence covering network, file, web and email threats. Everything most sites actually switch on. | on quote | on quote | on quote |
| Advanced Threat ProtectionATP | The narrow bundle: IPS and the full malware stack including cloud sandboxing, without the web and email filtering layers. | on quote | on quote | on quote |
These are Fortinet list prices. You will not pay them.
Every quote we write is discounted from list, and how far below depends on quantity, term and whether we register the deal with Fortinet. Longer terms also price better per year, which is why three and five year bundles are usually the better buy on a device you intend to keep through a refresh cycle. Part numbers follow Fortinet’s standard bundled convention; not every model carries every combination, so we confirm the exact orderable SKU before anything is placed.
