NSE 6 – FortiSwitch 7.2 — Question 27

Which drop policy mode, if assigned to a congested port, will drop incoming packets until there is no congestion on the egress port?

Answer options

• A. Tail-drop mode
• B. Weighted round robin mode
• C. Random early detection mode
• D. Strict mode

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Tail-drop mode, as it simply drops packets when the buffer is full, effectively controlling congestion by stopping incoming traffic. The other options like Weighted round robin mode and Random early detection mode manage traffic differently, such as prioritizing packets or dropping them based on probability, which doesn't directly correlate with dropping all traffic until congestion is resolved.
