Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE5_FSW_AD-7.6 exam
Question #: 5

[All NSE5_FSW_AD-7.6 Questions]

Exhibit.

The exhibit shows the current status of the ports on the managed FortiSwitch.

Access-1.

Why would FortiGate display a serial number in the Native VLAN column associated with the port23 entry?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The appearance of a serial number in the Native VLAN column for port23 suggests that the switch connected to this port is identified uniquely in the network.Given the options provided:

A standalone switch with the shown serial number is connected on port23 (Option C): This is the most plausible explanation. The FortiSwitch configuration interface is displaying the serial number of a standalone switch that is directly connected to port23. This kind of display helps in identifying and managing individual devices in a network setup, especially in environments with multiple switches.

I vaguely recall that the management interface could be involved, but I’m leaning towards the idea that it’s about trunking and serial numbers.

I feel like option D could be right, but I’m not completely confident. I need to think more about how native VLANs work.

This seems similar to a practice question we did about trunk ports. I think it might be related to how switches identify each other.
