Stacking support: No physical stacking (supports FortiLink virtual stacking)
Curation Review
✔ Pros:High 780W PoE budget with PoE++ (90W) support on 8 ports; Multi-gigabit 2.5G ports ideal for Wi-Fi 6/7 access points; 10G SFP+ uplinks for high-speed backhaul; Seamless integration into the Fortinet Security Fabric via FortiLink.
✘ Cons:No support for physical hardware stacking or MCLAG; Lack of cross-switch LAG limits redundancy options for downstream devices; Management experience is significantly better when paired with a FortiGate than in standalone mode.
