Option A is clearly wrong. The FortiSwitch can't just grant connectivity to all hosts if one host is authenticated. That would defeat the whole purpose of having a security profile.

Option C seems a bit suspicious to me. I don't think the FortiSwitch would perform faster just because it's using MAC-based authentication. That's probably just a trick question.

I'm not sure, but I think the answer might be A. FortiSwitch allows connectivity to all hosts if one is authenticated.

I think Option B is the right choice. The FortiSwitch should be able to grant different access levels based on the credentials provided by each device.

Option D is definitely the correct answer. The FortiSwitch needs to communicate with the RADIUS server to authenticate devices using MAC-based authentication.

I disagree, I believe the answer is D. FortiSwitch needs to communicate with the RADIUS server for authentication.

I think the answer is B, because it makes sense to grant different access levels based on credentials.
