Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE6_FSW-7.2 exam
Question #: 29
Topic #: 5
[All NSE6_FSW-7.2 Questions]

How does FortiSwitch perform actions on ingress and egress traffic using the access control list (ACL)?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

In FortiSwitch, Access Control Lists (ACLs) are used to enforce security rules on both ingress and egress traffic:

ACL Evaluation Order (D):

Operational Function: FortiSwitch processes ACL entries from top to bottom, similar to how firewall rules are processed. The first match in the ACL determines the action taken on the packet, whether to allow or deny it, making the order of rules critical.

Configuration Advice: Careful planning of the order of ACL rules is necessary to ensure that more specific rules precede more general ones to avoid unintentional access or blocks.

Reference: For a comprehensive guide on configuring ACLs in FortiSwitch, consult the FortiSwitch security settings documentation available on: Fortinet Product Documentation

C is just a trap answer. Classifiers can match traffic based on more than just VLAN ID, come on now.

Haha, A is a good one! Only the high-end models support ACL? Guess the budget models are for the broke network admins.

B is the correct answer. ACL can only be used at the prelookup stage, not throughout the entire traffic processing pipeline.

D seems right. The FortiSwitch checks the ACL policies from top to bottom, right? That's how it performs actions on the traffic.
