22 Questions
What type of data is gathered by MAC notification traps?
Layer 2 data
When is a MAC notification trap generated by the infrastructure device?
When a new MAC address is learned or removed from its MAC address table
Why are MAC notification traps preferred over link up and link down traps?
Faster database updates and fewer resource demands
What is Layer 3 MAC to IP correlation used for?
Network visibility
What happens when devices are added or discovered in the network?
They are automatically added into the L2 Wired Devices or L2 Wireless Devices groups
Which type of devices can be seen immediately using MAC notification traps?
Hosts and devices that connect through hubs or IP phones
What is the primary advantage of using MAC notification traps for FortiNAC?
Eliminating the need to establish a connection for each link up or link down trap
Which component of network visibility is a necessary part of Layer 3 IP-address information?
Critical piece
What is the purpose of L2 Wired Devices or L2 Wireless Devices groups?
Automatic grouping of added or discovered devices
What is the benefit of Layer 3 MAC to IP correlation for FortiNAC capabilities?
Enhancing network visibility
How are host records updated using MAC notification traps?
Automatically when new MAC addresses are learned or removed
What is the purpose of configuring DHCP relays on all networks to point at FortiNAC?
To enhance host information and gather hostname, operating system
How does FortiNAC gather the network or IP-address information of endpoints?
Through Layer 3 polling
What is the purpose of DHCP fingerprinting in FortiNAC?
To gather hostname and operating system information
How does FortiNAC determine the originating host’s hostname and operating system from DHCP discovery or request packets?
By parsing the contents of the packets
What information does endpoint visibility usually include?
MAC or physical address, network or IP-address, current or last location, connection status, vendor name, hostname, and operating system
What is the impact of configuring FortiNAC as an additional DHCP server using DHCP relays throughout an environment?
FortiNAC receives copies of DHCP discovery and request packets
How does FortiNAC gather the MAC or physical address information of endpoints?
Through Layer 2 polling or MAC notification traps
What does the DHCP fingerprinting in FortiNAC gather?
Hostname and operating system
How does FortiNAC determine the vendor name of an endpoint?
Based on the vendor OUI of the MAC address
What defines device trust in FortiNAC?
The classification of each endpoint
What does the Layer 3 polling of devices in the Layer 3 device group do?
Correlates IP-address with the corresponding MAC address
