Topic #: 5
[All NSE6_FSW-7.2 Questions]

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

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

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.

Reference

FortiSwitchOS FortiLink Guide (FortiSwitch Devices Managed by FortiOS 7.2): Refer to pages 13 and 14 for details on zero-touch management and FortiLink configuration.

Definitely depends on the FortiSwitch model.

I thought it was just the last four ports?

I vaguely recall something about the last four ports being special, but I can't remember if that was just for a specific model or not. Is that option D?

I feel like the answer could depend on the FortiSwitch model, which makes me lean towards option C. It’s tricky though!

I remember a practice question that mentioned needing to configure auto-discovery under the switch interface settings. Could that be option B?

I think all ports might have auto-discovery enabled by default, but I’m not entirely sure. It feels like something we discussed in class.

I'm not too familiar with FortiSwitch, so I'm going to have to guess on this. Option D seems plausible, but I'm not 100% confident.

Easy one! All FortiSwitch ports have auto-discovery enabled by default, so A is the correct answer.

I think the key here is understanding how FortiLink discovery works. Option B sounds right - the ports need to be explicitly configured for auto-discovery.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I'll need to review the FortiSwitch configuration options to be sure.

I'm pretty sure it's option C. The FortiSwitch model determines which ports have auto-discovery enabled by default.
