Fortinet’s public Upgrade Advisor does not publish a replacement for this exact variant. We confirm it against the interfaces, PoE and performance in use.

What this means in practice
Supported until 15 July 2027. The service extension date has passed, so an existing contract can no longer be extended.
Lifecycle dates and TradeUp are separate. TradeUp reflects the current program position for the model; final eligibility, discount and service transfer are confirmed against the device serial, entitlement and replacement path.
