When troubleshooting a FortLink connectivity issue between FortiGate and FortiSwitch, why is it important to verify their time and date settings?

Question

Options

• ATime synchronization is critical for the CAPWAP DTLS tunnel.
• BTime and date are used to determine the encryption algorithm on FortiLink.
• CIncorrect time synchronization may disrupt the FortiLink discovery protocol (LLDP or MCLAG).
• DMatching time settings ensure proper STP convergence on the FortiLink interface.

• A
  88% (29)
• B
  6% (2)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

FortiLink relies on a CAPWAP DTLS tunnel between FortiGate and FortiSwitch for secure communication. If the FortiGate and FortiSwitch have incorrect or unsynchronized time and date settings, certificate validation for the DTLS tunnel can fail, causing FortLink connectivity issues.
