Deployment Guidelines

  • Validate PoE load thresholds using execute poe-status CLI command pre-upgrade
  • Enable FIPS 140-2 Level 2 compliance for payment processing environments
  • Schedule firmware validation during off-peak hours (22:00-04:00 local time)

This technical specification aligns with Fortinet’s 2025 Secure Edge Architecture framework. Network administrators should audit all PoE-connected devices using FortiAnalyzer 7.4.13+ before full production deployment.
