   A FortiSwitch is configured with VLAN 10 (192.168.10.0/24) and VLAN 20 (192.168.20.0/24). The switch has Layer 3 interfaces on both VLANs. Users on VLAN 10 can ping the VLAN 20 interface IP (192.168.20.1), but cannot ping a server at 192.168.20.50. The server's default gateway is correctly set to 192.168.20.1. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe server is on a different VLAN than configured.
   • BThe switch's MAC address table is full.
   • CThe server's firewall is blocking ICMP from VLAN 10.
   • DThe switch does not have a route to 192.168.20.50.

   A FortiSwitch has a Layer 3 interface on VLAN 10 (192.168.10.1/24). The switch needs to reach a remote network 10.10.20.0/24 via a router at 192.168.10.254. What should the administrator configure on the FortiSwitch?

   • ASet the default gateway of the switch to 10.10.20.1.
   • BCreate a new VLAN interface for 10.10.20.0/24.
   • CAdd a static route with destination 10.10.20.0/24 and next-hop 192.168.10.254.
   • DEnable OSPF on VLAN 10.

   A FortiSwitch receives a frame on port 1 with destination MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55. The switch's MAC address table has no entry for this MAC address. What will the switch do with the frame?

   • AForward the frame to the port with the lowest port number.
   • BDrop the frame because the destination is unknown.
   • CSend the frame only to the default gateway.
   • DFlood the frame out all ports except the port it was received on.
