4. Physical Features and Hardware Overview
4.1 ఫ్రంట్ ప్యానెల్
The front panel of the FortiSwitch-108E features network ports and status indicators.
మూర్తి 1: ముందు view of the Fortinet FS-108E FortiSwitch-108E. This image displays the eight RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports, two SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports, and the Power and Alarm LED indicators. Each RJ45 port also has its own Link/Activity LED.
- పవర్ LED: పరికరం యొక్క శక్తి స్థితిని సూచిస్తుంది.
- అలారం LED: సిస్టమ్ అలారాలు లేదా లోపాలను సూచిస్తుంది.
- 1-8 GE RJ45 Ports: Eight Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting network devices.
- 9-10 GE SFP Ports: Two Gigabit Ethernet Small Form-Factor Pluggable ports for fiber optic connections.
- లింక్/యాక్ట్ LED లు (ఒక్కో పోర్ట్కు): Indicates network link status and activity for each RJ45 and SFP port.
- PoE PD: Indicates Power over Ethernet Powered Device capability, meaning the switch can be powered by an external PoE source.
4.2 వెనుక ప్యానెల్
The rear panel provides connectivity for console management and power input.
చిత్రం 2: వెనుక view of the Fortinet FS-108E FortiSwitch-108E. This image shows the console port for direct management access and the standard AC power input connector.
- కన్సోల్ పోర్ట్: RJ45 port for local management access via a serial connection.
- పవర్ ఇన్పుట్: Standard AC power connector (100-240V AC, 50/60Hz).
5. సెటప్
5.1 పరికరం ప్లేస్మెంట్
The FortiSwitch-108E is a fanless device, suitable for quiet environments. It can be placed on a desktop or mounted in a rack using the included rack-mount kit.
- Ensure adequate space for ventilation around the device.
- Avoid placing the switch in direct sunlight or near strong electromagnetic fields.
5.2 పవర్ కనెక్షన్
The FortiSwitch-108E supports dual power options: standard AC power and Power over Ethernet Powered Device (PoE PD).
- AC పవర్: Connect the provided power cable to the AC power input on the rear panel and then to a grounded electrical outlet.
- PoE PD: The switch can also be powered by a compatible PoE source connected to one of its RJ45 ports (typically port 8, as indicated by 'PoE PD' label). This allows for flexible deployment where AC power might not be readily available.
5.3 నెట్వర్క్ కనెక్షన్లు
- RJ45 పోర్ట్లు: Connect Ethernet cables from your network devices (computers, servers, access points) to the RJ45 ports (1-8).
- SFP పోర్ట్లు: Insert compatible SFP transceivers into the SFP ports (9-10) and connect fiber optic cables for longer distance or higher bandwidth uplinks.
5.4 ప్రారంభ కాన్ఫిగరేషన్
The FortiSwitch-108E is designed for integration with a FortiGate Network Security Platform. Management is typically performed through the FortiGate interface.
- Connect the FortiSwitch to a FortiGate device.
- Access the FortiGate interface to discover and authorize the FortiSwitch.
- Configure VLANs, port settings, and security policies as required through the FortiGate controller.
- For direct console access, connect a serial cable from your management workstation to the console port on the switch and use a terminal emulator (e.g., PuTTY) with appropriate serial settings (e.g., 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit).
6. ఆపరేటింగ్ సూచనలు
6.1 LED సూచికలు
Monitor the LEDs on the front panel to understand the switch's status:
- పవర్ LED:
