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.)

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.
