NSE 8 – Network Security Expert (812) — Question 67

You are deploying a FortiExtender (FEX) on a ForiGate-60F. The FEX will be managed by the FortiGate. You anticipate high utilization. The requirement is to minimize the overhead on the device for WAN traffic.
Which action achieves the requirement in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Add a switch between the FortiGate and FEX.
• B. Enable CAPWAP connectivity between the FortiGate and the FortiExtender
• C. Change connectivity between the FortiGate and the FortiExtender to use VLAN Mode
• D. Add a VLAN under the FEX-WAN interface on the FortiGate

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Changing the connectivity to VLAN Mode (option C) is the best way to minimize overhead on the FortiGate while managing WAN traffic. Options A and B introduce additional complexity or do not directly address the overhead issue. Option D does not inherently reduce the load on the device as effectively as using VLAN Mode.
