This dashboard provides a snapshot of FortiSwitch activity that occurred in the last 24 hours.

Use the Quick Links drop-down list to view the switch topology, deploy switches, add zero-touch configurations, or add scheduled upgrade configurations.

The Dashboard page provides the following information.

  • Online Switches—The number and percentage of managed devices that are online

  • PoE Port Utilized—The number and percentage of Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports that are being used

  • PoE Power Delivered—The number of Watts and the percentage of PoE delivered.

  • Critical Events Last 24 Hours—The number of critical events in the last 24 hours

  • Top PoE Power Utilization—The five FortiSwitch units with the highest PoE usage

  • PoE Power over Threshold—The five FortiSwitch units that have a current power budget that exceeds a specified percentage of the total power budget.

  • Top VLANs Count—The five FortiSwitch units with the most VLANs.

  • Pluggable Modules—The number and types of modules inserted in FortiSwitch units, as well as any warnings or alerts

  • DHCP Snooping—The number of DHCP-snooping-enabled VLANs, the number of dynamically learned DHCP snooping entries in the client and server databases, and the number of DHCP-snooping entries in the limit database.

  • IGMP Snooping—The number of switches and VLANs enabled for IGMP snooping and the number of dynamic IGMP-snooping groups.

  • OS Versions—Which FortiSwitchOS versions are being used by managed FortiSwitch units.

  • Auto Backup Status (Last 24 hours)—The number of scheduled configuration backups that failed and succeeded in the last 24 hours and which FortiSwitch units were not backed up.

  • Scheduled Upgrades - The number of scheduled upgrades that are enabled for the FortiSwitch units.

  • Scheduled Upgrade Job States - The status of the scheduled upgrade jobs, such as, timed out, failed, and so on.

  • Zero Touch Configurations - The number of ZTCs enabled for the FortiSwitch units.

  • Top Switch CPU Utilization - The FortiSwitches with the highest CPU utilization in the last one hour.

  • Top Switch Memory Utilization - The FortiSwitches with the highest memory utilization in the last one hour.

  • Top Switch PCB Temperature - The FortiSwitches with the highest PCB temperature in the last one hour.

  • Top Rx/Tx Utilization - The FortiSwitches with the highest percentage of Rx/Tx utilization in the last one hour.

  • Top Losses - The FortiSwitches with the highest Rx/Tx drops and errors in the last one hour.

  • Switches & Licenses - The FortSwitch license details with the status, used, available, grace period.
