The FortiSwitch 600 Series provides 2.5 / 5 Gbps access ports in 24, 48-port configurations with 25 Gbps uplinks. Managed directly from a FortiGate over FortiLink, no separate switch controller to buy, licence or run.
2.5 and 5 Gbps access ports with 25 Gbps uplinks; this is the WiFi 6E and WiFi 7 switch. A modern access point will saturate a gigabit port on its own, so feeding one from a 100 or 200 series switch wastes most of what you paid for the AP. If your wireless refresh is 6E or 7, this tier is not an upgrade, it is a prerequisite.
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.
Size this from the access points, not the desks. A WiFi 7 access point negotiating a 2.5 or 5 Gbps link needs a port that can carry it and PoE that can feed it, and the 25 Gbps uplink exists so that a floor of those APs has somewhere to go. If your wireless refresh is 6E or 7, work out AP count first, multiply by the per-AP draw, and let that decide the model, the wired client count is almost irrelevant here.
What to order alongside the FortiSwitch 600 Series
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.
