NSE 6 – FortiWifi 6.4 — Question 23

Six APs are located in a remotely based branch office and are managed by a centrally hosted FortiGate. Multiple wireless users frequently connect and roam between the APs in the remote office.
The network they connect to, is secured with WPA2-PSK. As currently configured, the WAN connection between the branch office and the centrally hosted
FortiGate is unreliable.
Which configuration would enable the most reliable wireless connectivity for the remote clients?

Answer options

• A. Configure a tunnel mode wireless network and enable split tunneling to the local network
• B. Configure a bridge mode wireless network and enable the Local standalone configuration option
• C. Configure a bridge mode wireless network and enable the Local authentication configuration option
• D. Install supported FortiAP and configure a bridge mode wireless network

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because configuring a bridge mode wireless network with the Local standalone option allows devices to communicate directly with each other, enhancing reliability despite WAN instability. Options A and C focus on tunnel or authentication methods that may not provide the same level of local connectivity, while D does not address the specific configuration needed for reliability.
