NSE 6 – FortiSwitch 7.2 — Question 36

How does flow tracking work on FortiSwitch if you export the settings to a managed FortiSwitch stack with sampling mode set to local?

Answer options

• A. FortiGate does not change existing sampling settings of interfaces.
• B. FortiGate configures FortiSwitch to perform ingress sampling on all switch interfaces.
• C. FortiGate configures FortiSwitch to perform ingress sampling on all switch interfaces, except ICL and ISL interfaces.
• D. FortiGate turns egress sampling on all management interfaces.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because when flow tracking settings are exported to a managed FortiSwitch stack with local sampling mode, FortiGate configures ingress sampling for all switch interfaces except for ICL and ISL interfaces, which are typically used for inter-switch links. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they either misrepresent the behavior of FortiGate regarding existing settings or incorrectly state which interfaces are sampled.
