Selected Answers: C


C is absolutely correct.

HW Table:
Indicates which routes in the FIB are installed in the hardware routing table. FortiSwitch looks up the hardware routing table first and, if there is no match, tries the FIB. Hardware-based routing is done when FortiSwitch uses routes in the hardware routing table, which are loaded in the ASIC. Software-based routing is done when FortiSwitch uses the routes in the FIB, which are loaded in the kernel.
