Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE6_FSW-7.2 exam

Topic #: 2
[All NSE6_FSW-7.2 Questions]

Refer to the exhibits

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.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, B

The two reasons why port1 can be shut down are loop guard protection and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).

Loop guard protection: This is a feature that helps to prevent switching loops in a network.expand_more A loop guard can be configured on a port to monitor for specific traffic patterns that indicate a loop. If loop guard protection detects a loop, it will shut down the port to prevent the loop from causing problems.

STP: STP is a protocol that helps to prevent switching loops.expand_more When multiple paths exist between two network devices, STP will block all but one of the paths, creating a loop-free topology.expand_more If STP detects a loop, it will shut down the ports that are involved in the loop.

In the exhibit, both ports 1 and 2 are configured with the same native VLAN 10. This configuration could create a switching loop if both ports are connected to devices on the same network segment. If a loop occurs, loop guard protection or STP could shut down port1 to prevent the loop from causing problems.

I think C could work too, but not sure about A.

B) and C) are the way to go. Anything involving "Private VLAN" just sounds like a headache waiting to happen.

I'm pretty sure the answer is B) and C). Removing VLAN 10 from the allowed VLANs and adding it to the untagged VLANs on port1 should do the trick.

I feel like I might have seen a question like this before, and I think option A is not correct since it talks about MAC addresses, which doesn't really relate to VLAN tagging.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about removing VLANs from allowed lists in similar practice questions. Maybe option C could work too?

I think option B sounds right because it mentions adding VLAN ID 10 to untagged VLANs on port1, which seems to match the requirement for PC1.

This is a good opportunity to demonstrate my VLAN configuration knowledge. I'll carefully consider each option and select the two that best address the requirement.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is to get the VLAN tagging right on port1 so PC1 receives untagged traffic. Options B and C seem like the way to go.

I’m confused about option D; it mentions Private VLANs, but I don't think that’s relevant here since PC1 just needs untagged traffic.

Let’s not forget about C. It might be necessary to remove VLAN 10 first.
