Authentic Fortinet Certification Exam NSE6_FSW-7.2 Questions Answers

Regarding the scenario where a FortiSwitch did not reboot after the authorization process while the other devices did, the most likely cause, given the configuration settings in the exhibit, is:

The management mode was set to use FortiLink mode (Option B): If the FortiSwitch was already configured to use FortiLink for its management mode, it may not require a reboot to complete the authorization process as its management interface settings are already aligned with FortiLink requirements. This is unlike switches that might be transitioning from a standalone or another management mode, which would typically require a reboot to apply new management settings fully.

References:

FortiLink mode specifically tailors FortiSwitch to be managed via a FortiGate device, integrating its operation into the wider security fabric without needing a reboot if it is already set to this mode before authorization. This contrasts with other management modes where transitioning to FortiLink could necessitate a system restart to initialize the new configuration.

The native VLAN is implicitly part of the allowed VLAN on the port (C): On a managed FortiSwitch port, the native VLAN, which is the VLAN assigned to untagged traffic, is implicitly included in the list of allowed VLANs. This means it does not need to be explicitly specified when configuring VLAN settings on the port. This configuration simplifies VLAN management and ensures that untagged traffic is handled correctly without additional configuration steps.
