- LED indikatoriai: Various LEDs indicate power status, system activity, and port link/activity/PoE status. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for detailed LED behavior.
4.2 Galinis skydelis
- Maitinimo įvestis: Išorinio maitinimo adapterio jungtis.
- Konsolės prievadas (RJ45): Used for local management and initial configuration via a serial connection.
- Įžeminimo varžtas: For connecting an earth ground cable (recommended for safety).
5. Sąranka
5.1 Stovo montavimas (neprivaloma)
If your FortiSwitch came with a rack-mount kit, follow these steps to install it in a standard 19-inch equipment rack:
- Attach the rack-mount brackets to the sides of the FortiSwitch using the provided screws.
- Secure the FortiSwitch into the rack using appropriate rack screws.
- Ensure there is adequate space for ventilation around the unit.
5.2 Maitinimo prijungimas
- Connect the power adapter to the power input on the rear panel of the FortiSwitch.

- The FortiSwitch will power on automatically. Observe the power LED indicator.
5.3 Tinklo ryšiai
- Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, servers, access points) to the Gigabit Ethernet ports (1-8) using standard RJ45 Ethernet cables.
- For uplink connections to your core network or other switches, use the SFP/Expansion Slots (9-10) with appropriate SFP modules and fiber optic or copper cables.
- If connecting PoE-compatible devices, ensure they are within the switch's PoE budget (130 watts total).
5.4 Pradinė konfigūracija
The FortiSwitch FS-108E-FPOE is a manageable switch. Initial configuration can typically be performed via:
- Konsolės prievadas: Connect a serial cable from your computer to the switch's console port. Use a terminal emulator (e.g., PuTTY) with settings: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
- Webpagrįstas valdymas: Once the switch obtains an IP address (via DHCP or static configuration), you can access its web-based management interface from a web browser. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for default IP addresses or discovery methods.
- FortiGate Integration: For seamless management, the FortiSwitch can be integrated and managed directly from a FortiGate firewall.
6. Operacinis
Once powered on and configured, the FortiSwitch FS-108E-FPOE operates automatically to forward network traffic. Management tasks involve monitoring status, configuring VLANs, QoS, security policies, and PoE settings.
- Stebėjimas: Naudokite web interface or CLI to monitor port status, traffic statistics, and PoE consumption.
- Konfigūracija: Access the management interface to customize network settings, create VLANs for network segmentation, configure Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization, and manage PoE power allocation per port.
- PoE funkcionalumas: The switch automatically detects and powers IEEE 802.3af/at compliant devices connected to its PoE ports. You can configure PoE settings, such as power priority and maximum power per port, through the management interface.
