Fortinet NSE5_FSW_AD-7.6 Exam - Topic 2 Question 4 Discussion

Refer to the exhibitsTraffic 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.)
B) Add VLAN ID 10 as a member of the untagged VLANs on port1. and C) Remove VLAN 10 from the allowed VLANs and add it to untagged VLANs on port1.
A) Add the MAC address of PC1 as a member of VLAN 10.
D) Enable Private VLAN on VLAN 10 and add VLAN 20 as an isolated VLAN.

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.)

Suggested Answer: B, C

According to theFortiSwitchOS 7.6 Administration Guideand theFortiSwitch 7.6 Study Guide, the way a FortiSwitch handles VLAN tags on egress (outgoing) traffic is governed by the port'sNative VLANand itsUntagged VLAN list. When traffic for VLAN 10 arrives at port2 (the uplink) and is forwarded to port1, the switch must determine whether to strip the 802.1Q tag before transmission.

Untagged VLAN List (Option B):The documentation explicitly states that the 'untagged VLAN list' specifies VLANs for which the port will transmit frameswithout the VLAN tag. By adding VLAN ID 10 to the untagged VLANs on port1, any traffic belonging to VLAN 10 will have its tag stripped at the egress point, ensuring PC1 receives a standard untagged frame.

Configuration Logic (Option C):In FortiSwitch management, moving a VLAN from the 'Allowed' list (which typically implies tagged delivery) to the 'Untagged' list on a specific interface forces the switch to perform the tag-stripping action. This effectively converts the port from a trunked behavior for that VLAN to an 'access' or untagged behavior.

Regarding the incorrect options:Option A (MAC-based assignment)is used primarily foringress classification. While it can assign a device to a VLAN when it sends trafficintothe switch, the documentation notes that by default, egress packets for MAC-based VLANs still include the tag unless the untagged list is configured.Option D(Private VLANs) is a security feature for isolating traffic between ports within the same VLAN and does not address the physical tagging requirements of the endpoint.

Agreed, B makes sense. It directly addresses the requirement.

I think B is the best choice. PC1 needs untagged traffic.

This is a bit confusing, can someone explain why VLAN 10 needs to be untagged?

Wait, why would you need to add PC1's MAC address? Seems unnecessary.

I think C could work too, but not sure about removing VLAN 10.

Private VLAN on VLAN 10? That sounds complicated for this scenario.

I don't recall anything about Private VLANs from our study sessions, so I think option D is definitely not the right choice here.

I feel like option C could also be a possibility, but I need to double-check if removing VLAN 10 from allowed VLANs is the right approach.

I'm not entirely sure about option A. I remember something about MAC addresses, but I don't think adding PC1's MAC to VLAN 10 is necessary for untagged traffic.

I think option B sounds right since it mentions adding VLAN ID 10 to untagged VLANs on port1. That seems like what we practiced.
