تصوير جي وضاحت: The image displays the front panel of the Fortinet FortiSwitch 108E-POE. The device is a white, rectangular network switch. On the left, the "FORTINET" logo is visible, along with three LED indicators for Power, Alarm, and PoE Max. Towards the center, there is a console port, followed by eight RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports (labeled 1-8), each with its own link/activity LEDs. On the far right, there are two SFP ports (labeled 9 and 10) for fiber optic connections, also with link/activity LEDs. The model name "FortiSwitch 108E-POE" is printed on the right side of the front panel.

1.4 نيٽ ورڪ ڪنيڪشن
- آر جي 45 بندرگاهن (1-8): Connect Ethernet cables from your network devices (computers, IP phones, wireless access points) to these ports. These ports support Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) for compatible devices.
- ايس ايف پي پورٽس (9-10): Insert compatible SFP transceivers into these ports for fiber optic uplink connections to other network devices or the core network.
- ڪنسول پورٽ: Use a console cable to connect to a management workstation for direct command-line interface (CLI) access for initial configuration or troubleshooting.
1.5 شروعاتي ترتيب
The FortiSwitch 108E-POE is designed for integration with a FortiGate firewall. For initial configuration and management, connect the FortiSwitch to a FortiGate device. Refer to the FortiGate documentation and the Fortinet FortiSwitch Administration Guide for detailed instructions on discovering and authorizing the switch, creating VLANs, and configuring PoE settings.
For advanced configurations or standalone mode, access the switch via the console port using a terminal emulator (e.g., PuTTY) with the following settings: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
2. Operating the FortiSwitch 108E-POE
2.1 LED اشارا
The front panel LEDs provide status information about the switch and its ports:
- پاور LED:
- سڪل سائو: ڊوائيس آن آهي ۽ عام طور تي ڪم ڪري رهي آهي.
- بند: ڊوائيس بند آهي يا بجلي حاصل نه ڪري رهي آهي.
- الارم LED:
- مضبوط ڳاڙهو: Indicates a system alarm or fault. Refer to the FortiGate interface or CLI for details.
- بند: ڪوبه فعال الارم ناهي.
- PoE Max LED:
- مضبوط ڳاڙهو: Total PoE power consumption is at or near the maximum capacity (240 Watts).
- بند: PoE power consumption is within normal limits.
- Port Link/Activity LEDs (RJ45 & SFP): Each port has an LED.
- Solid Green/Amber: لنڪ قائم.
- Flashing Green/Amber: ڊيٽا سرگرمي.
- بند: No link or device connected.
2.2 نيٽ ورڪ ڊوائيسز کي ڳنڍڻ
Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, servers, IP cameras, wireless access points) to the RJ45 ports using standard Ethernet cables. For devices requiring power over Ethernet, ensure they are PoE+ compatible. The switch will automatically detect and provide power to compliant devices.
For high-speed uplinks or longer distances, use appropriate SFP transceivers and fiber optic cables in the SFP ports.
3. سار سنڀال
3.1 صفائي
To maintain optimal performance, periodically clean the exterior of the switch. Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners directly on the device. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and obstructions.
3.2 فرم ویئر تازه ڪاريون
Regularly check for and apply firmware updates to ensure security and access to the latest features. Firmware updates are typically managed through the connected FortiGate device. Refer to the Fortinet support website and documentation for the latest firmware releases and update procedures.
3.3 ماحولياتي خيالات
Ensure the operating environment adheres to the specified temperature and humidity ranges. Excessive heat or moisture can damage the device and void the warranty. Maintain proper ventilation around the switch.
4. مسئلا حل ڪرڻ
4.1 پاور ناهي
- Verify the power cord is securely connected to both the switch and a working electrical outlet.
- ٻئي ڊوائيس سان پاور آئوٽليٽ چيڪ ڪريو ته اهو ڪم ڪري رهيو آهي.
- پڪ ڪريو ته سامهون واري پينل تي پاور LED روشن ٿيل آهي.
4.2 No Link on a Port
- Check the Ethernet cable connection at both ends (switch port and connected device).
- هڪ مختلف ايٿرنيٽ ڪيبل آزمايو.
- پڪ ڪريو ته ڳنڍيل ڊوائيس آن آهي ۽ صحيح طريقي سان ڪم ڪري رهيو آهي.
- Verify the port is enabled and configured correctly via the FortiGate interface or CLI.
4.3 PoE ڊوائيس پاور حاصل نه ڪري رهيو آهي
- Confirm the connected device is PoE+ (802.3at) or PoE (802.3af) compliant.
- Check the PoE Max LED. If solid red, the switch may be exceeding its total PoE budget (240W). Disconnect non-essential PoE devices or use a separate power source for some devices.
- Verify PoE settings for the port are enabled and configured correctly on the FortiGate.
- Try connecting the PoE device to a different PoE port.
4.4 Alarm LED is Red
- Access the FortiGate interface or the switch's CLI to view detailed alarm messages.
- Common alarms include high temperature, fan failure (if applicable), or power supply issues.
