   A company has a FortiSwitch stack of two units. The stack is currently using ports 47 and 48 on both units as ICL links. The administrator needs to repurpose port 48 on both units for data traffic to connect additional devices. The administrator wants to maintain stack redundancy. What should the administrator do?

   • ARemove port 48 from the ICL configuration on both units and configure it as a regular data port, leaving port 47 as the sole ICL link.
   • BKeep port 48 as an ICL link and use a different port for data traffic.
   • CAdd a third unit to the stack and use its ports for data traffic.
   • DConfigure port 48 as a trunk port that carries both data and stacking traffic.

   • ATo carry traffic between the FortiSwitch units in the stack
   • BTo connect the stack to an external firewall for security inspection

   A company is deploying a FortiSwitch stack in a branch office. The administrator has two units and wants to use ports 45 and 46 as ICL links. The administrator also needs to connect a server to port 45 on unit 1 for data traffic. What should the administrator do?

   • AConfigure port 45 as a trunk port that carries both data and stacking traffic.
   • BRemove port 45 from the ICL configuration and use it for the server, leaving port 46 as the sole ICL link.
   • CConnect the server to port 45 on unit 1 and configure port 45 as an ICL port on unit 2 only.
   • DUse a different port on unit 1 for the server and keep ports 45 and 46 as ICL links.

   A FortiSwitch stack is deployed in a university campus. The stack consists of four units connected in a ring topology. The administrator notices that the stack is operating with only one active ICL link, and the other links are in a standby state. The administrator wants to ensure that the stack can tolerate multiple link failures. What should the administrator do?

   • AConfigure all ICL links to be active simultaneously.
   • BConvert the ring topology to a full mesh topology.
   • CEnable Link Aggregation on the ICL links to combine their bandwidth.
   • DAdd additional ICL links between units to provide more redundancy.

   A FortiSwitch stack of three units is deployed in a financial institution. The stack uses a daisy-chain topology with ICL links between unit 1 and unit 2, and between unit 2 and unit 3. The administrator needs to perform maintenance on unit 2, which will require powering off the unit. The administrator wants to minimize disruption to the network. What should the administrator do?

   • APower off unit 2 and accept that the stack will split into two separate stacks.
   • BConvert the ICL links to trunk ports before powering off unit 2.
   • CPower off unit 2 and rely on the remaining ICL link to keep the stack together.
   • DAdd a redundant ICL link between unit 1 and unit 3 before powering off unit 2.
