FortiSwitch supports packet capture through various methods, but the Sniffer profile is specifically capable of capturing traffic on both trunks and management interfaces. Here's why:

Sniffer Profile (B):

Versatile Capture: The sniffer profile in FortiSwitch is designed to capture traffic across different types of interfaces, including trunks (where multiple VLANs are present) and management interfaces (used for controlling and monitoring the switch).

Configuration Flexibility: You can configure sniffer profiles to target specific traffic, offering flexibility in monitoring and troubleshooting network issues on both data and management planes.

Other Options:

SPAN (A) is used mainly for mirroring traffic to another port for analysis but is typically limited in its ability to capture management interface traffic.

sFlow (C) and TCP dump (D) are useful tools but do not specifically align with the capability to universally capture traffic across trunks and management interfaces in the context described.

Reference: For further details on configuring and utilizing sniffer profiles on FortiSwitch, refer to the FortiSwitch management documentation: Fortinet Product Documentation

The native VLAN is implicitly part of the allowed VLAN on the port (C): On a managed FortiSwitch port, the native VLAN, which is the VLAN assigned to untagged traffic, is implicitly included in the list of allowed VLANs. This means it does not need to be explicitly specified when configuring VLAN settings on the port. This configuration simplifies VLAN management and ensures that untagged traffic is handled correctly without additional configuration steps.

Active multicast receiver entries are aging on each IGMP query sent on the VLAN (A): When IGMP snooping querier is enabled on a VLAN, it functions to manage multicast traffic within the VLAN by keeping track of multicast group memberships. The IGMP querier sends queries to determine which ports require the multicast traffic. The multicast receiver entries, which are entries that indicate which devices have requested the multicast data, age or time out based on these IGMP queries. Each query refreshes active connections but ages out entries that no longer respond, helping to ensure that multicast traffic is only sent to ports with active receivers.

To deploy FortiSwitch in a remote location with multiple VLANs and no Layer 3 switch or router, you would need specific configurations:

VXLAN Interfaces (B):

Purpose: VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) allows network segmentation without a Layer 3 device, extending VLAN capabilities across dispersed geographical locations over the WAN.

Implementation: Configuring VXLAN on both FortiSwitch and FortiGate can encapsulate Layer 2 traffic over a Layer 3 network, making it ideal for scenarios lacking dedicated routing hardware.

Appropriate Hardware (D):

Requirement: Not all FortiSwitch models might support advanced features like VXLAN; hence, ensuring that the hardware can support such configurations is crucial.

Reference: For specific information on VXLAN configuration and hardware requirements, refer to the technical documentation provided by Fortinet: Fortinet Product Documentation

Switch-controller-dhcp-snooping-verify-mac verifies the destination MAC address to protect against DHCP exhaustion attacks (B): This feature of DHCP snooping helps prevent DHCP exhaustion attacks by ensuring that the destination MAC addresses in DHCP packets match the MAC addresses learned by the switch. This check helps prevent attackers from overwhelming the DHCP server with requests from spoofed MAC addresses.

Settings related to DHCP option 82 are only configurable through the CLI (D): DHCP Option 82 is used for 'agent information,' and it's typically used in network environments where additional information between DHCP clients and servers is necessary for policy and billing purposes. Configuration of these settings in FortiSwitch is only available through the Command Line Interface (CLI), not the Graphical User Interface (GUI).
