Selected Answers: A, B


A&B is correct.

When deployed as a managed switch, the FortiSwitch is controlled by FortiGate, which acts as the switch controller and uses its FortiLink interface to communicate with the switch. In this mode, you manage FortiSwitch from FortiGate. Managed switch mode is also known as FortiLink mode. This lesson covers managed switch mode only.

Note that when you authorize a switch, FortiGate instructs the switch to set the management mode to FortiLink mode by sending a FortiLink frame to the switch. If, at this point, the switch is operating in local mode, FortiSwitch automatically changes the management mode to FortiLink mode.
