NSE 4 – FortiGate 6.4 — Question 57

Which two statements are correct about a software switch on FortiGate? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. It can be configured only when FortiGate is operating in NAT mode
• B. Can act as a Layer 2 switch as well as a Layer 3 router
• C. All interfaces in the software switch share the same IP address
• D. It can group only physical interfaces

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Option A is correct because a software switch on FortiGate can only be configured in NAT mode. Option C is also correct as all interfaces in the software switch share the same IP address. Options B and D are incorrect; the switch does not function as both Layer 2 and Layer 3 simultaneously, and it can group both physical and virtual interfaces.
