   An administrator is configuring a FortiSwitch stack with two units. The administrator wants to use ports 45 and 46 on both units as ICL links. After configuring the ports, the administrator notices that only port 45 is active as an ICL link, and port 46 is in a standby state. What is the reason for this behavior?

   • APort 46 is not configured as an ICL port on the remote unit.
   • BPort 46 is being used for data traffic and is not available for stacking.
   • CPort 46 is blocked by Spanning Tree Protocol.
   • DFortiSwitch uses one ICL link as the active control path and keeps the other as a redundant standby link.

   An administrator is configuring a two-unit FortiSwitch stack. The administrator has connected port 46 on unit 1 to port 46 on unit 2. The administrator wants to use port 47 on both units as a second ICL link for redundancy. What is the correct way to configure port 47 on both units?

   • ASet port 47 as a trunk port with the `set trunk-mode lacp` command.
   • BEnable the `stack-port` option on port 47 in the physical interface settings.
   • CAdd port 47 to the ICL port list in the virtual-switch configuration on both units.
   • DConfigure port 47 as an access port in the same VLAN as the existing ICL link.

   What is the purpose of configuring Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) ports on FortiSwitch units that are part of a stack?

   • ATo connect the stack to a FortiGate for centralized management
   • BTo enable communication between the stacked FortiSwitch units
   • CTo provide a dedicated link for firmware upgrades
   • DTo provide a backup path for internet traffic

   In a FortiSwitch stack deployment, what is the primary purpose of stacking ports?

   • ATo provide uplink connectivity to the upstream router or firewall
   • BTo provide out-of-band access for initial configuration of the switch
   • CTo interconnect FortiSwitch units so they operate as a single logical switch
   • DTo carry management traffic between the stack and the FortiGate

   An administrator is building a FortiSwitch stack of three units in a data center. The units are connected in a ring topology: unit 1 port 48 to unit 2 port 48, unit 2 port 47 to unit 3 port 47, and unit 3 port 48 to unit 1 port 47. The administrator wants to ensure that the stack remains operational if any single ICL link fails. What is the minimum configuration required?

   • AConfigure only the ports on unit 1 and unit 2 as ICL ports, leaving unit 3's ports as regular access ports.
   • BUse only two ICL links between unit 1 and unit 2, and leave unit 3 connected via a regular trunk.
   • CConfigure the ports as ICL on all units but enable STP on the ICL links to prevent loops.
   • DConfigure all six ports as ICL ports in the virtual-switch configuration.
