QuestionQ1

Troubleshooting

During network infrastructure-device discovery, a switch is displayed in the inventory topology with a question mark (?) on its icon.

What could cause this?

  • A The wrong SNMP community string was entered during discovery.
  • B The SNMP ObjectID is not recognized by FortiNAC-F.
  • C A read-only SNMP community string was used.
  • D SNMP is not enabled on the switch.
Explanation

A question-mark topology icon denotes an unidentified network-device type: FortiNAC-F received the switch’s SNMP identification but does not recognize its SNMP ObjectID in its device definitions. Read-only SNMP is sufficient for discovery, whereas invalid SNMP access details or disabled SNMP prevents successful SNMP querying.
