A&E are correct.

You can also manage FortiSwitch devices over a layer 3 network using a Virtual eXtensible LAN (VXLAN) tunnel to create a layer 2 overlay network. VXLAN encapsulates layer 2 frames into VXLAN protocol packets, which can then be routed and have NAT applied, if required. Of the FortiSwitch devices that support VXLAN, a limited number are hardware-based VXLAN. Hardware-based FortiSwitch devices can also tunnel data VLANs in addition to performing switch management.
