What does the switchauto-networksetting control on FortiSwitch? (Choose one answer)

The switch-auto-network setting, which is enabled by default, controls the automatic FortiLink discovery process on a FortiSwitch. When enabled, the FortiSwitch sends FortiLink discovery packets out of all its ports to automatically find a managing FortiGate unit. This facilitates the zero-touch deployment of a FortiSwitch into a FortiLink fabric. To configure a FortiSwitch for standalone management, this setting must be disabled to stop the discovery attempts and allow for manual network configuration of a management interface.

A. Automatic VLAN assignment is managed by features such as 802.1X, LLDP-MED, or device detection, not the switch-auto-network setting.

C. The root bridge priority for Spanning Tree Protocol (STP/MSTP) is configured under the config switch stp setting command context.

D. FortiManager management is configured under config system central-management and is independent of the FortiLink discovery process.

1. Fortinet FortiSwitch Standalone Mode 7.6.0 Administration Guide, Page 13, "Configuring the FortiSwitch unit for remote management". The guide states: "By default, the switch-auto-network setting is enabled. When the switch-auto-network setting is enabled, the FortiSwitch unit automatically sends out FortiLink discovery packets on all of its ports to find a FortiGate unit to connect to. You need to disable this setting before you can configure the FortiSwitch internal interface."

2. Fortinet FortiSwitch OS 7.6.0 CLI Reference, Page 100, config system global. The entry for switch-auto-network describes its function as: "Enable/disable automatic network configuration for standalone FortiSwitch." This "automatic network configuration" refers to the FortiLink discovery process.
