NSE 6 – FortiSwitch 7.2 — Question 34

How is traffic routed on FortiSwitch?

Answer options

• A. ASIC hardware routing can only handle dynamic routing, if supported.
• B. Layer 3 routing can be configured on FortiSwitch, while managed by FortiGate.
• C. FortiSwitch looks up the hardware routing table and then the forwarding information base (FIB).
• D. Hardware-based routing on FortiSwitch is handled by the CPU.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because FortiSwitch is capable of Layer 3 routing, and this routing is managed by FortiGate, which centralizes control. Option A is incorrect as ASIC hardware routing can handle more than just dynamic routing. Option C is misleading since it doesn't clarify the management aspect, and option D is incorrect because hardware-based routing on FortiSwitch is primarily handled by dedicated hardware, not the CPU.
