Course overview

In this course, you will learn how to deploy, provision, and manage a FortiSwitch with FortiGate using FortiLink. This course also covers the deployment and troubleshooting of Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, as well as the most common FortiSwitch stack topologies, including those that leverage multichassis link aggregation group (MCLAG) for redundancy and higher performance. You will also learn about FortiSwitch in standalone mode, its unique features, and how to manage a standalone switch directly, or from FortiSwitch Cloud.

  • Implement advanced features to increase port density, control network access, forward multicast traffic more effectively, and quarantine compromised devices.
  • Prioritize traffic on FortiSwitch by using QoS marking, queuing, and rate limiting features.
  • Simplify endpoint deployment by using Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP- MED).
