Question 1 of 64

Which two are valid traffic processing actions that a FortiSwitch access control list (ACL) can apply to matching traffic? (Choose two.)

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answers: A, D

A FortiSwitch ACL can redirect matching frames to another port, allowing traffic to be steered for monitoring or other network handling. It can also drop matching frames, which enforces traffic-filtering and security policies by preventing unwanted packets from being forwarded. Assigning an egress queue is a quality-of-service function rather than an ACL processing action. Frame encryption is not performed by FortiSwitch ACL rules.

Question 2 of 64

Which two statements about 802.1X authentication on FortiSwitch ports are true? (Choose two.)

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answers: A, B

Port-based 802.1X authorizes the physical switch port after successful authentication, so all hosts reachable behind that authenticated port can gain network access. FortiSwitch applies 802.1X settings to interfaces through a port policy, which defines the authentication behavior for the port. Authentication is not limited to trunk ports, and devices that do not natively support 802.1X can be handled through other access-control methods or policy configurations.

An administrator has deployed two FortiSwitch devices, Core-1 and Core-2, as multichassis link aggregation group (MCLAG) peers. These switches are connected to FortiGate for FortiLink and to an access switch (Access-1) using an inter-switch link (ISL). After configuration, the administrator notices that both Core-1 and Core-2 are claiming to be the root bridge in the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) topology.

What explains this behavior?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: C

MCLAG peers use a shared bridge ID for MSTP, allowing the two physical FortiSwitch devices to operate as one logical STP bridge. The outputs show the same bridge MAC address and priority on Core-1 and Core-2, so each correctly identifies that shared logical bridge as the root. This behavior prevents STP from treating the MCLAG peer link and dual-homed downstream connections as redundant paths between separate bridges.

Question 4 of 64

Refer to the exhibit.

Network Topology -

Exam NSE5_FSW_AD-7.6: Image 1

You configured Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) to monitor traffic from a source port on FortiSwitch 1, but the monitoring device is connected to FortiSwitch 2. After port mirroring configuration on FortiSwitch 1, the monitoring device is not receiving any mirrored traffic.What is the most likely reason the mirrored traffic is not reaching the monitoring device?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: A

SPAN creates copies of traffic locally on the switch where the source port and mirror destination are configured. FortiSwitch 1 does not forward those mirrored copies over its inter-switch link to a destination port on FortiSwitch 2. The monitoring device must therefore connect to a local destination port on FortiSwitch 1, or a different remote monitoring method must be used. ACL filtering, session restart, and management IP addressing do not enable SPAN traffic to traverse switches.

Question 5 of 64

What happens if FortiSwitch fails to discover either FortiEdge Cloud or a FortiGate with FortiLink?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: B

FortiSwitch remains in local management mode when it cannot discover FortiEdge Cloud or a FortiGate acting as a FortiLink controller. This allows the switch to continue operating and to be accessed directly for configuration and troubleshooting. It does not automatically enter FortiLink mode, because that mode requires discovery of and connection to a FortiGate controller.

Stories from the certified

Charles Sirois
Canada
As this was my first certification exam, I was understandably nervous about what to expect. These study materials made the preparation process much easier, and many of the questions closely reflected those on the actual exam.
Lance Chambers
United States
Wasted about a month going through the free dump sites scattered all over reddit, half the answers were wrong and the other half were for a version of the exam that doesn't even exist anymore. Eventually gave in and paid the small fee here, and the difference was night and day.
Alisha Kelly
Italy
Honestly, I had already gone through the official documentation quite thoroughly, but still didn't feel fully confident going in. This helped things finally click for me. I realized I knew the material, but just hadn't connected all the pieces yet.
Casper Claassen
Netherlands
Used this along with Microsoft Learn and the combo worked really well. The practice questions made the stuff I'd read actually stick. Passed first attempt, no complaints from me.
Gabriele Ghesla
Italy
The content is accurate and clearly presented, and it's more affordable than competitors. The team has been incredibly responsive whenever I've had an issue, and they've been open to small changes that improve the platform.
