   When comparing tier, ring, and MCLAG topologies, which topology is most suitable for a network that requires high availability with active-active links to a server?

   • ARing topology
   • BMCLAG topology
   • CTier topology
   • DAll topologies provide the same level of high availability.

   A data center is deploying FortiSwitch for server access. The servers have dual NICs that support NIC teaming. The network team requires that both uplinks from a server are active simultaneously to double throughput, and they need to survive the failure of one access switch. Which topology should be implemented?

   • AA single access switch with both server NICs connected to it
   • BMCLAG topology with servers dual-homed to a pair of access switches
   • CTier topology with servers connected to a single access switch
   • DRing topology with servers connected to two different switches in the ring

   A company is deploying FortiSwitch in a multi-tenant building. Each tenant has its own access switch, and they need to be isolated from each other. The network team wants to use a topology that allows for this isolation while providing a shared uplink to the internet. Which topology and feature is most appropriate?

   • ATier topology with VLANs and inter-VLAN routing at the distribution layer
   • BA flat topology with a single switch for all tenants
   • CMCLAG topology with each tenant connected to both switches
   • DRing topology with VLANs configured on each switch

   A network administrator has deployed a ring topology with five FortiSwitch units. They notice that after a link failure, the network takes a long time to converge. They are using STP. What is the most effective way to improve convergence time in this ring?

   • AConfigure all ring ports as edge ports
   • BEnable Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) or use FortiSwitch's ring protection protocol
   • CIncrease the STP forward delay timer
   • DDisable STP on all ports in the ring

   A small office is deploying three FortiSwitch units in a ring topology. The network administrator is concerned about broadcast storms and loops. What is the primary mechanism FortiSwitch uses to ensure the ring remains loop-free while still providing redundancy?

   • ADisabling the unused ports on each switch to break the physical loop
   • BConfiguring all ports as access ports to prevent loop formation
   • CUsing static routing between the switches to avoid layer-2 loops
   • DEnabling Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) or the FortiSwitch ring protocol to block one link in the ring
