FAP-441K APs have two 10/5/2.5/1 Gb RJ45 network interfaces. But, does Fortinet make a PoE switch with a 10 Gb RJ45 port that also supports MCLAG? If they don’t….why put 10Gb in the APs?
The FS-T1024F-FPOE seems like the only Fortinet switch which can fully leverage the FAP-441K AP's 10Gb bandwidth. That's short-sighted. A core / top-of-rack switch shouldn't be powering your APs. Fortinet needs a 4xx / 6xx-level access switch with 8 or 16 PoE++ ports at 10Gb to handle their top-end APs. Hopefully this happens in the pending G-series switches.
