Question

Refer to the configuration:

config switch phy-mode
set port-configuration disable-port54
set port53=phy-mode 4x10G
end

Which two conditions does FortiSwitch need to meet successfully configure the options shown in the exhibit above? (Choose two.)

A. The FortiSwitch model is equipped with a maximum of 54 interfaces.
B. FortiSwitch would need to be rebooted.
C. The split port can be assigned to a native VLAN.
D. The port full speed prior to the split was 100G QSFP+.

Answer

B. FortiSwitch would need to be rebooted.
D. The port full speed prior to the split was 100G QSFP+.

Explanation

To successfully configure the port split from 100G QSFP+ to 4x10G as shown in the configuration:

  1. The original full speed of the port prior to the split must have been 100G QSFP+. This is necessary because the 4x10G split configuration can only be applied to a port that starts at 100G speed.
  2. After applying the configuration to split the 100G port into 4x10G ports, the FortiSwitch must be rebooted for the changes to take effect. The reboot is required to properly apply the new port configuration.

The other two options are incorrect:

  • A is wrong because the maximum number of interfaces doesn’t impact the ability to split a 100G port into 4x10G.
  • C is wrong because assigning the split port to a native VLAN is not a prerequisite for the configuration. The VLAN assignment can be done separately after the split.

So in summary, the two essential conditions are that the original port speed is 100G QSFP+, and the switch must be rebooted after applying the 4x10G split configuration. Meeting these two requirements will allow the port split to be successfully configured on the FortiSwitch.
