Question 14 - NSE8_812 discussion

Report
Export

Refer to the exhibit.

You are deploying a FortiGate 6000F. The device should be directly connected to a switch. In the future, a new hardware module providing higher speed will be installed in the switch, and the connection to the FortiGate must be moved to this higher-speed port.

You must ensure that the initial FortiGate interface connected to the switch does not affect any other port when the new module is installed and the new port speed is defined.

How should the initial connection be made?

A.
Connect the switch on any interface between ports 21 to 24

D.
Connect the switch on any interface between ports 5 to 8.
Answers
D.
Connect the switch on any interface between ports 5 to 8.
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

The FortiGate 6000F is a high-performance firewall appliance that has 28 network interfaces with different speeds and types. The device should be directly connected to a switch that will have a new hardware module providing higher speed in the future. The connection to the FortiGate must be moved to this higher-speed port without affecting any other port. Therefore, the initial connection should be made on any interface between ports 21 to 24, which are 10G SFP+ interfaces. These interfaces are independent from each other and do not share bandwidth with any other interface.

This means that moving the connection to a higher-speed port in the future will not affect any other port on the FortiGate. Option A shows the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because ports 25 to 28 are 40G QSFP+ interfaces, which share bandwidth with ports 21 to 24. Moving the connection to a higher-speed port in the future will affect the bandwidth of these ports. Option C is incorrect because ports 1 to 4 are 100G QSFP28 interfaces, which share bandwidth with ports 5 to 8 and ports 9 to 12. Moving the connection to a higher-speed port in the future will affect the bandwidth of these ports. Option D is incorrect because ports 5 to 8 are 25G SFP28 interfaces, which share bandwidth with ports 1 to 4 and ports 9 to 12. Moving the connection to a higher-speed port in the future will affect the bandwidth of these ports. Reference:
