Question 1

What are two ways in which automatic MAC address quarantine works on FortiSwitch? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Automatic MAC address quarantine is a security feature within the FortiGate/FortiSwitch integration. Here's how it works and why the answers are correct:
 The Role of FortiGate:FortiGate is the central decision point for quarantine actions. It identifies suspicious MAC addresses and communicates quarantine
instructions to the FortiSwitch. The FortiSwitch doesn't make quarantine decisions on its own.
 Quarantine Mechanisms:While the decision is made on FortiGate, FortiSwitch supports two ways to enforce the quarantine:
 VLAN Quarantine Mode:In this mode, the FortiSwitch moves the quarantined MAC address into a dedicated quarantine VLAN. This isolates the
device.exclamation
 Port Quarantine Mode:The FortiSwitch disables the physical port where the quarantined MAC address is detected.
 Configuration:Enabling MAC address quarantine involves configuring parameters on the FortiGate, notably via the CLI but also through the GUI depending
on your FortiOS version.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect:
 A. FortiSwitch supports only by VLAN quarantine mode.This is incorrect. FortiSwitch can use both VLAN-based and port-based quarantine methods.
 C. FortiAnalyzer with a threat detection services license is required.FortiAnalyzer can provide deeper analysis and logging, but it's not mandatory for the core
functionality of MAC address quarantine.

Question 3

Refer to the exhibit.

From SurePassExam
https://www.surepassexam.com/NSE6_FSW-7.2-exam-dumps.html (54 New Questions)
The profile shown in the exhibit is assigned to a group of managed FortiSwitch ports, and these ports are connected to endpoints which are powered by PoE.
Which configuration action can you perform on the LLDP profile to cause these endpoints to exchange PoE information and negotiate power with the managed
FortiSwitch?

Accepted Answer

To cause endpoints to exchange PoE information and negotiate power with the managed FortiSwitch via LLDP, you should configure the LLDP profile to include
power management in the advertised LLDP-MED TLVs. Here are the steps:
Access the LLDP Profile Configuration:Start by entering the LLDP profile configuration mode with the command:
config switch-controller lldp-profile
edit "LLDP-PROFILE"
Enable MED-TLVs:Ensure that MED-TLVs (Media Endpoint Discovery TLVs) are enabled. These TLVs are used for extended discovery relating to network
policies, including PoE, and are essential for PoE negotiation. They include power management which is crucial for the negotiation of PoE parameters between
devices. The command to ensure network policies are set might look like:
set med-tlvs network-policy
Add Power Management TLV:Specifically add or ensure the power management TLV is part of the configuration. This will advertise the PoE capabilities and
requirements, enabling dynamic power allocation between the FortiSwitch and the connected devices (like VoIP phones or wireless access points). This can
typically be done within the network-policy settings:
config med-network-policy
edit
set poe-capability
next
end
Save and Apply Changes:Exit the configuration blocks properly ensuring changes are saved:

End
Verify Configuration:It's always good practice to verify that your configurations have been applied correctly. Use the appropriateshoworgetcommands to review the
LLDP profile settings.
By adding the power management as part of LLDP-MED TLVs, the FortiSwitch will be able to communicate its power requirements and capabilities to the
endpoints, thereby facilitating a dynamic power negotiation that is crucial for efficient PoE utilization.

Question 4

What feature can network administrators use to segment network operations and the administration of managed FortiSwitch devices on FortiGate?

Accepted Answer

FortiGate's multi-tenancy feature, specifically Virtual Domains (VDOMs), is the most appropriate tool for segmenting network operations and the administration of
managed FortiSwitch devices on FortiGate. Here's why:
VDOMs as Virtual Firewalls:VDOMs function as independent virtual firewalls within a single FortiGate device. Each VDOM can have its own:
Segmenting Network Operations:By assigning different FortiSwitch devices (or groups of ports) to separate VDOMs, you effectively partition your network. Network
administrators can manage specific FortiSwitches through their assigned VDOMs, maintaining operational isolation.
Enhanced Administration:VDOMs offer granular administrative control. Different administrators can be assigned to specific VDOMs, limiting their management
scope and reducing the risk of accidental configuration changes.
Why Other Options Are Less Suitable:
* B. Multi-chassis link aggregation trunk:This focuses on link redundancy and bandwidth aggregation, not network segmentation.
* C. FortiGate clustering protocol:This is aimed at high availability and scalability of the firewall functions themselves, not the management of switches.
* D. FortiLink split interface:This allows dividing a FortiLink interface on the FortiGate for managing multiple FortiSwitches, but it doesn't provide the true
segmentation and administrative isolation that VDOMs offer.

Question 5

Refer to the exhibits

From SurePassExam
https://www.surepassexam.com/NSE6_FSW-7.2-exam-dumps.html (54 New Questions)
Traffic arriving on port2 on FortiSwitch is tagged with VLAN ID 10 and destined for PC1 connected on port1. PC1 expects to receive traffic untagged from port1 on
FortiSwitch.
Which two configurations can you perform on FortiSwitch to ensure PC1 receives untagged traffic on port1? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Explanation
The two reasons why port1 can be shut down are loop guard protection and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
Loop guard protection:This is a feature that helps to prevent switching loops in a network.expand_more A loop guard can be configured on a port to monitor for
specific traffic patterns that indicate a loop. If loop guard protection detects a loop, it will shut down the port to prevent the loop from causing problems.
STP:STP is a protocol that helps to prevent switching loops.expand_more When multiple paths exist between two network devices, STP will block all but one of

the paths, creating a loop-free topology.expand_more If STP detects a loop, it will shut down the ports that are involved in the loop.
In the exhibit, both ports 1 and 2 are configured with the same native VLAN 10. This configuration could create a switching loop if both ports are connected to
devices on the same network segment. If a loop occurs, loop guard protection or STP could shut down port1 to prevent the loop from causing problems.

Question 6

What can an administrator do to maintain a FortiGate-compatible FortiSwitch configuration when changing the management mode from standalone to FortiLinK?

Accepted Answer

Explanation
When transitioning the management of a FortiSwitch from standalone mode to being managed by FortiGate via FortiLink, it is critical to ensure that the existing
configurations are preserved. The best practice involves:
FortiGate's Role in Configuration Preservation:FortiGate has the capability to automatically preserve the existing configuration of a FortiSwitch when it is integrated
into the network via FortiLink. This feature helps ensure that the transition does not disrupt the network's operational settings.
Configuration Integration:As FortiSwitch is integrated into FortiGate's management via FortiLink, FortiGate captures and integrates the existing switch
configuration, enabling a seamless transition. This process involves FortiGate recognizing the FortiSwitch and its current setup, then incorporating these settings
into the centralized management interface without the need for manual reconfiguration or the use of additional tools.

Question 7

Which LLDP-MED Type-Length-Values does FortiSwitch collect from endpoints to track network devices and determine their characteristics?

Accepted Answer

While FortiSwitch can collect all the listed LLDP-MED TLVs (Network Policy, Power Management, Location, and Inventory Management), the primary focus for
tracking and identifying network devices is on theInventory ManagementTLV.
This TLV carries critical details such as:
Manufacturer
Model
Hardware/Firmware versions
Serial/Asset numbers
This information provides a granular understanding of the devices on your network.

Question 8

Refer to the diagnostic output:
Two entries in the exhibit show that the same MAC address has been used in two different VLANs. Which MAC address is shown in the above output?

Accepted Answer

The MAC address "00:50:56:96:e3:fc" appearing in two different VLANs (4089 and 4094) in the diagnostic output indicates it is a MAC address associated with a
device that supports traffic from multiple VLANs. Such a behavior is typical of network infrastructure devices like switches or routers, which are configured to allow
traffic from various VLANsto pass through a single physical or logical interface. This is essential in network designs that utilize VLANs to segregate network traffic
for different departments or use cases while using the same physical infrastructure.

Question 9

Which drop policy mode, if assigned to a congested port, will drop incoming packets until there is no congestion on the egress port?

Accepted Answer

Tail-drop mode is a congestion management technique used in network devices, including FortiSwitches, to handle congestion on network ports:
Tail-Drop Mode (A):
Behavior:When a queue reaches its maximum capacity on a congested port, tail-drop mode simply drops any incoming packets that arrive after the buffer is full.
This continues until the congestion is alleviated and there is space in the queue to accommodate new packets.
Application:This is a straightforward approach used when the device??s buffer allocated to the port becomes full due to sustained high traffic, preventing buffer
overflow and maintaining system stability.
References:For more details on congestion management techniques and settings on FortiSwitch, you can refer to the configuration manuals available on:Fortinet
Product Documentation

Question 10

Which interfaces on FortiSwitch send out FortiLink discovery frames by default in order to detect a FortiGate with an enabled FortiLink interface?

Accepted Answer

Fortinet FortiLink Protocol:The FortiLink protocol is Fortinet's proprietary mechanism for managing FortiSwitch units from a FortiGate firewall. It simplifies
configuration and security policy enforcement across the connected network devices.
Auto-Discovery:FortiLink's auto-discovery feature means that by default, all ports on a FortiSwitch will actively send out discovery frames. This allows them to
locate a FortiGate device that has a FortiLink interface enabled, streamlining the device management process.
No Configuration Needed:You don't have to manually configure individual ports for FortiLink discovery on FortiSwitch devices.
