   Which statement accurately describes the tier topology for FortiSwitch?

   • AIt uses a flat design where all switches connect to a single central switch.
   • BIt organizes switches into a hierarchical structure with access, distribution, and core layers.
   • CIt uses multiple switches in parallel to form a single logical switch for high availability.
   • DIt connects switches in a circular path to provide redundancy without loops.

   What is a key redundancy feature of the ring topology for FortiSwitch?

   • AIt allows automatic failover to a backup link if a link fails.
   • BIt provides multiple active paths between any two switches.
   • CIt requires a standby switch to take over if the primary fails.
   • DIt uses a dedicated redundant switch for each switch in the ring.

   Which benefit does MCLAG provide over a traditional spanning tree protocol (STP) design?

   • AIt allows both links to be active simultaneously, increasing bandwidth.
   • BIt provides faster convergence than STP in all scenarios.
   • CIt eliminates the need for any configuration on the connected device.
   • DIt allows the use of a single switch for all connections.

   A company is designing a network for a new building with three floors. Each floor has its own access switches, and there is a centralized server room. The network team wants a clear hierarchical structure that allows for easy scaling and policy enforcement at the distribution layer. Which topology should they choose?

   • ARing topology connecting all access switches across the floors
   • BMCLAG topology with all access switches paired together
   • CA flat topology with all switches connected to a single core switch
   • DTier topology with access switches on each floor connecting to distribution switches, which then connect to a core

   How does the ring topology for FortiSwitch ensure loop-free operation?

   • ABy requiring all switches to be connected in a daisy chain without any backup links.
   • BBy using a ring protocol that logically breaks the loop by blocking one link.
   • CBy designating one switch as the root and all others as leaves.
   • DBy using a spanning tree protocol that blocks redundant paths.
