Fortinet 224D.
24-Port Gigabit PoE Switch for Branch Access
The FortiSwitch 224D is a Layer 2 Gigabit access switch built for branch and campus wiring closets that
need to power access points, phones, and cameras. Available in POE and Full PoE (FPOE) configurations, it
scales from a 180W budget on 12 ports up to 370W across 24 PoE+ ports. Managed through FortiLink, it becomes
a natural extension of a FortiGate-secured network.
224D-POE: 180W budget across 12 802.3af PoE ports 224D-FPOE: 370W
budget across 24 802.3af/at PoE+ ports Ideal for powering APs, phones, and cameras at the edge
Management & Stacking
Centrally managed via FortiLink from a
FortiGate Access-layer switch — no hardware stacking Sub-2µs latency for responsive edge switching
Deciding between 224D POE and FPOE?
Compare PoE budgets, port counts, and switching capacity across the FortiSwitch lineup to pick the right
224D configuration.
The 224D-POE has 20 GE RJ45 ports plus 4 GE RJ45/SFP combo ports, while the 224D-FPOE
has 24 GE RJ45 ports plus 4 GE SFP ports — 24 total usable ports either way.
The 224D-POE provides 180W across 12 PoE ports, while the 224D-FPOE steps up to 370W
across 24 PoE+ ports for powering more devices per switch.
Yes, the 224D is a FortiLink-managed switch that integrates with FortiGate for
unified configuration and security policy management.
The 224D is a Layer 2 managed switch, positioned as an access-layer device below
Layer 3 models like the FortiSwitch 224E.
Both offer 24 usable Gigabit ports, but the 224E adds Layer 3 routing capability,
while the 224D remains a Layer 2-only access switch.
