FortiGate’s SSL Inspection feature decrypts and inspects SSL/TLS traffic to detect threats or enforce policies, using techniques like full SSL inspection or certificate inspection. Deep Packet Inspection (A) is a broader term, Application Control (C) identifies apps, and Web Filtering (D) blocks URLs, not specific to SSL. Exact extract: "SSL Inspection allows FortiGate to decrypt and inspect SSL/TLS traffic to detect hidden threats or enforce security policies, supporting full or certificate-based inspection."

A hybrid cloud combines on-premises infrastructure (local datacenter) with public cloud resources, allowing workloads to operate across both environments for flexibility and scalability. Fortinet solutions like FortiGate-VM support hybrid cloud deployments. Option A refers to hardware diversity, C to OS variety, and D to architecture types, none of which define hybrid cloud. Exact extract: "Hybrid cloud is the combination of public cloud services with an on-premises private cloud or datacenter... This allows customers to run some systems in the public cloud and others in their local datacenter, managed seamlessly."

Typical Layer 2 switches support STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) to prevent loops in redundant networks and VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) to segment traffic logically. OSPF is a Layer 3 routing protocol typically on routers, and SIP is for VoIP session initiation, not core switch functions. FortiSwitch supports STP variants like MSTP and VLAN tagging. Exact extract: MSTP supports multiple spanning tree instances, where each instance carries traffic for one or more VLANs (the mapping of VLANs to instances is configurable). These protocols include the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), and Per-VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol ( ... FortiSwitch supports Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), and Per-VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP). Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a link-management protocol to enable a layer 2 loop-free topology. STP enables a network to have redundant paths for fault ... Go to WiFi & Switch Controller > FortiSwitch Ports. Click a port row. Click the Native VLAN column in one of the selected entries to change the native VLAN.

A route with a directly connected interface (no gateway) indicates the destination network is locally attached to that interface on the FortiGate. This is common for networks directly connected to the device’s interfaces. Option A is vague, B is incorrect as it’s not a dummy route, and D suggests an unknown route, which isn’t the case. Exact extract: "A directly connected route indicates that the destination network is locally attached to the interface specified in the routing table... No gateway is required for such routes as the FortiGate is directly connected to the network."

Classful addressing follows the original IP address classes: Class A (/8), Class B (/16), and Class C (/24). Option A (10.225.30.0/8) is a Class A address, and C (172.16.0.0/16) is a Class B address. Option B (10.225.30.0/16) and D (172.16.0.0/24) use non-standard masks for their respective ranges, making them classless (CIDR). The original document incorrectly lists only A. Fortinet routing supports both classful and classless addressing. Exact extract: "Classful addressing uses fixed subnet masks: Class A (/8), Class B (/16), and Class C (/24)... Addresses like 10.0.0.0/8 and 172.16.0.0/16 are classful, while non-standard masks indicate classless addressing."
