Selected Answers: D


When VPN clients connect through FortiGate, FortiNAC cannot directly see the client's MAC address because the connection is tunneled. The FortiNAC agent running on the client provides FortiNAC with the user details, IP address, and MAC address, allowing FortiNAC to correctly identify the endpoint and apply the appropriate access policies. Without the agent, FortiNAC would not have the necessary information to properly evaluate and manage the VPN client.
