Explanation
FortiLink NACis the NAC (Network Access Control) engine built into FortiGate when it manages FortiSwitch devices. Automated device onboarding Automatically detects new devices connecting to switches. Uses MAC, vendor, DHCP fingerprinting, or IoT database to classify devices. No manual VLAN assignment required. Security posture verification Works with FortiClient EMS, ZTNA tags, IoT detection. Applies policies based on: Endpoint compliance IoT vulnerability status Dynamic VLAN assignment Automatically moves devices into proper VLANs, quarantine networks, or guest zones. Integration with LAN Edge & Zero Trust Uses FortiGate + FortiSwitch + FortiAP to enforce zero-trust access. This matches the LAN Edge 7.6 Architect explanation of FortiLink NAC.
