VLAN Mode is a more efficient way to connect a FortiExtender to a FortiGate than CAPWAP Mode. This is because VLAN Mode does not require the FortiExtender to send additional control traffic to the FortiGate.

The other options are not correct.

A. Add a switch between the FortiGate and FEX. This will add overhead to the network, as the switch will need to process the traffic.

B. Enable CAPWAP connectivity between the FortiGate and the FortiExtender. This will increase the overhead on the FortiGate, as it will need to process additional control traffic.

D. Add a VLAN under the FEX-WAN interface on the FortiGate. This will not affect the overhead on the FortiGate.

B is correct because creating an HA setup with a second FortiDDoS 200F will provide redundancy in case one of the devices fails. This will prevent all traffic from being dropped in the event of a failure.

D is correct because the FortiDDoS 1500F has a larger throughput capacity than the FortiDDoS 200F. This means that it will be less likely to drop traffic even under heavy load.

The other options are incorrect. Option A is incorrect because changing the Adaptive Mode will not prevent the device from dropping traffic. Option C is incorrect because moving the internet connection from the SFP interfaces to the LC interfaces will not change the throughput capacity of the device.

the access point will require about 24.5 W of power and the 124E-FPOE has a Capacity of about 370 meaning 25x12 = 300 so you left with about 70 W on the switch meaning you can still add two more access point on that switch.

C. The IP address of the FortiSwitch is 10.12.240.2:This statement is correct based on the exhibit and your clarification. The exhibit lists the "IP Address" as 10.12.240.2 across multiple entries, including ports and VLANs associated with the device "sup-fgt-hw" (FortiSwitch). Your reasoning indicates that this IP is the management address of the FortiSwitch, as it is consistently shown as the IP for the device containing the ports. In Fortinet’s architecture, as described in the NSE 8 study guide, the management IP of a FortiSwitch is typically configured and visible in such configurations, especially when integrated with FortiGate and FortiNAC. The "Device" column labeling "sup-fgt-hw" further supports that this is the FortiSwitch, and the IP 10.12.240.2 is its management address. This aligns with FortiSwitch management and integration details in the NSE 8 study guide.

D. An unknown host is connected to port3:This statement is correct as the exhibit highlights port3 under the "Name" column for the device "sup-fgt-hw" with a "Rogue Host" status in the "Connection" column, an IP address of 10.12.240.2, a Default VLAN of 100, and an Operational Status of "Link Up." In FortiNAC, a "Rogue Host" indicates an unknown or unauthorized device connected to the network, which FortiNAC identifies for further action or isolation. This is consistent with FortiNAC’s capabilities for detecting and classifying unknown devices, as detailed in the NSE 8 study guide under network access control and rogue device detection.

Why A and B are incorrect:

A. A device that is modeled in FortiNAC is connected on VLAN_4093: This is incorrect based on your clarification that there is no device connected on that port—it is simply the default VLAN (4093) for that entry. The exhibit shows VLAN_4093 with a "Not Connected" status and "Link Up" operational status, but no active device connection is indicated. The NSE 8 study guide emphasizes that FortiNAC requires an active connection and device profiling for a device to be considered "connected," which is not evident here for VLAN_4093.

B. Port8 is connected to a FortiGate in FortiLink mode: This is incorrect because the exhibit shows port8 with a "Learned Uplink" status, which, as you noted, refers to any kind of uplink and does not specifically indicate FortiLink mode. FortiLink mode is a specific configuration between FortiGate and FortiSwitch requiring explicit settings, which are not mentioned or implied in the exhibit. The NSE 8 study guide clarifies that FortiLink mode involves distinct configuration details (e.g., FortiLink interfaces), which are absent here.

D is correct because Spoke1 will establish an ADVPN shortcut to Spoke2 when it detects that there is a demand for traffic between them. This is explained in the Fortinet Community article on Technical Tip: Fortinet Auto Discovery VPN (ADVPN) under Summary - ADVPN sequence of events.
