Exam NSE5_FSW_AD-7.6 Topic 2 Question 76 Discussion

Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE5_FSW_AD-7.6 exam
Question #: 76
Topic #: 2
Refer to the exhibit.

The exhibit shows the current status of the ports on the managed FortiSwitch. Access-1.
Why would FortiGate display a serial number in the Native VLAN column associated with the port23 entry?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

The information in the "Native VLAN" column for port23 on the FortiSwitch indicates that a standalone switch is connected to it. This is because the column displays "$424MPTF20000027," which matches the format of a Fortinet device serial number.
Here's a breakdown of the evidence in the image:
* Native VLAN:The "Native VLAN" column typically displays the VLAN ID for untagged traffic on a trunk port. However, in this case, it shows a serial number format ("$424MPTF20000027").
* No Trunk Information:The "Trunk" column is blank for port23, indicating it's not configured as a trunk member.
* Other Ports:Port1 and port2 show "default" in the "Native VLAN" column, which is the expected behavior for access ports.
Fortinet FortiSwitch devices typically don't display the serial number of adjacent FortiSwitch devices in the
"Native VLAN" column. This column is reserved for VLAN information on trunk ports.
