Explanation

When FortiSwitch is deployed through FortiLink, the FortiGate automatically acts as a DHCP server over the FortiLink interface. It assigns the FortiSwitch an IP address so the switch can establish communication and register with FortiGate. No static IP or internet license registration is required, and FortiLink uses DHCP for initial discovery and management.
