QuestionQ11

Central management

A FortiSwitch does not appear in the FortiGate management interface after it is connected through FortiLink.

What is a possible first troubleshooting step?

  • A Ensure that the FortiGate security policies allow traffic from the FortiSwitch.
  • B Manually assign a static IP to the FortiSwitch.
  • C Verify that FortiGate device DHCP server is assigning an IP to the FortiSwitch.
  • D Ensure the FortiSwitch has internet access.
Explanation

FortiLink can use DHCP-based discovery for a FortiSwitch to obtain the information required to locate and connect to its FortiGate switch controller. Confirming that the FortiGate DHCP server is issuing an IP address to the FortiSwitch checks that essential discovery connectivity is available.
