What is the primary function of FortiLink NAC in a LAN environment?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

FortiLink NACis the NAC (Network Access Control) engine built into FortiGate when it manages FortiSwitch devices.

It performs:

Automated device onboarding

Automatically detects new devices connecting to switches.

Uses MAC, vendor, DHCP fingerprinting, or IoT database to classify devices.

No manual VLAN assignment required.

Security posture verification

Works with FortiClient EMS, ZTNA tags, IoT detection.

Applies policies based on:

Device type

User role

Endpoint compliance

IoT vulnerability status

Dynamic VLAN assignment

Automatically moves devices into proper VLANs, quarantine networks, or guest zones.

Integration with LAN Edge & Zero Trust

Uses FortiGate + FortiSwitch + FortiAP to enforce zero-trust access.

This matches the LAN Edge 7.6 Architect explanation of FortiLink NAC.

Why other answers are wrong

A . Extend security policies across FortiGate firewalls

Not NAC. That refers to Security Fabric or SD-WAN.

C . Apply manual firewall rules

FortiLink NAC is specifically designed toautomateaccess control.

D . Manually place devices in VLANs

NAC eliminates manual VLAN assignment --- it is dynamic.

It's all about automating device onboarding!

I feel like I’ve seen something about VLANs in relation to FortiLink, but that seems more manual. I think B makes the most sense overall.

I’m a bit confused because I thought FortiLink was more about managing switches rather than onboarding devices. Could it be option C instead?

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think it was about managing devices and ensuring their security posture. So, I lean towards option B.

I think the main function of FortiLink NAC is about automating device onboarding, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only thing it does.
