Fortinet NSE6_FSW-7.2 Online Access

In a hierarchical network model, the role of a device functioning simultaneously as both the distribution and core is most accurately described as "FortiGate managing FortiSwitch (B)." In this setup, FortiGate acts as the central unit managing multiple FortiSwitch units, thereby functioning both as a distribution layer—handling traffic between network segments—and as a core layer—managing traffic within the network on a broader scale. This setup is typical in medium-sized networks where a single device is capable enough to handle both roles effectively.

The QoS mechanism that directly maps packets with specific Class of Service (CoS) or Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) markings to an egress queue is:

• Queuing for Egress Traffic (A):

To deploy FortiSwitch in a remote location with multiple VLANs and no Layer 3 switch or router, you would need specific configurations:

• VXLAN Interfaces (B):
• Appropriate Hardware (D):

The MAC address "00:50:56:96:e3:fc" appearing in two different VLANs (4089 and 4094) in the diagnostic output indicates it is a MAC address associated with a device that supports traffic from multiple VLANs. Such a behavior is typical of network infrastructure devices like switches or routers, which are configured to allow traffic from various VLANsto pass through a single physical or logical interface. This is essential in network designs that utilize VLANs to segregate network traffic for different departments or use cases while using the same physical infrastructure.
