   A network administrator has a ring topology with four FortiSwitch units. They want to add a fifth switch to the ring. What is the most important consideration when adding the new switch to maintain loop-free operation?

   • AConnect the new switch to two existing switches and verify STP or the ring protocol converges before enabling the second link
   • BConfigure the new switch with a different VLAN than the existing switches
   • CEnsure the new switch has a higher STP priority than the existing root bridge
   • DDisable STP on the new switch to avoid conflicts

   An organization is deploying FortiSwitch in a warehouse with multiple IDFs spread across a large floor. They need a topology that provides redundancy for the backbone links without relying on a central distribution switch, and they want to avoid the cost of additional aggregation hardware. Which topology best fits this requirement?

   • AMCLAG topology with each IDF switch paired with a neighbor
   • BRing topology connecting the IDF switches in a loop
   • CTier topology with a redundant pair of core switches
   • DA star topology with all IDFs connecting to a single core switch

   A company is deploying FortiSwitch in a single wiring closet to connect 48 access ports to two distribution switches. The network team wants to minimize cabling and switch count while providing redundancy if one distribution switch fails. Which topology should they use?

   • ARing topology connecting the two distribution switches and the access switch in a loop
   • BMCLAG topology with the access switch dual-homed to both distribution switches
   • CTier topology with two access switches uplinked to the distribution layer
   • DA single access switch uplinked to only one distribution switch

   In which scenario is a tier topology most appropriate for a FortiSwitch deployment?

   • AA data center requiring maximum redundancy with no single point of failure.
   • BA small office with fewer than 20 users and a single switch.
   • CA campus network with multiple buildings requiring structured growth and centralized management.
   • DA temporary network for an event that needs quick setup and minimal configuration.
