NSE 6 – FortiSwitch 7.2 — Question 5
Which interfaces on FortiSwitch send out FortiLink discovery frames by default in order to detect a FortiGate with an enabled FortiLink interface?
Answer options
- A. All ports have auto-discovery enabled by default
- B. No ports are enabled by default for auto-discovery. This must be configured under config switch interface.
- C. The ports with auto-discovery enabled by default are dependent upon the FortiSwitch model.
- D. The last four switch ports on FortiSwitch have auto-discovery by default.
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is A because by default, all ports on FortiSwitch are set to automatically discover FortiGate devices. Option B is incorrect as it states no ports have auto-discovery enabled, which contradicts the default setting. Option C is misleading because it suggests variability based on the model, while option D incorrectly limits the auto-discovery to only the last four ports.
