Selected Answers: D


D is correct.

MAC, IP, and protocol-based VLANs enable you to assign ingress traffic to VLANs based on the endpoint source MAC address, source IP address, and Ethernet protocol (or Ethernet type). Then, when processing ingress traffic, FortiSwitch overrides the VLAN settings on the port with the VLAN assigned to the endpoint (or member) in the MAC, IP, and protocol-based VLAN configuration. One benefit is that you can place different devices behind the same switch port in different VLANs. Another benefit is mobility because endpoints can be assigned to the same VLAN regardless of the switch port they are connected to.
