Which action achieves the requirement in this scenario?

You are deploying a FortiExtender (FEX) on a FortiGate-60F. The FEX will be managed by the FortiGate. You anticipate high utilization. The requirement is to minimize the overhead on the device for WAN traffic.

Which action achieves the requirement in this scenario?

A. Add a switch between the FortiGate and FEX.

B. Enable CAPWAP connectivity between the FortiGate and the FortiExtender.

C. Change connectivity between the FortiGate and the FortiExtender to use VLAN Mode

D. Add a VLAN under the FEX-WAN interface on the FortiGate.

Answer: C

Explanation:

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.
