Selected Answers: D


When a FortiSwitch is deployed on a network managed through FortiLink, the FortiGate acts as a DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address to the FortiSwitch (and also to FortiAPs, if connected). This allows the FortiGate to discover and manage the FortiSwitch without requiring manual IP configuration.
