Question 1 of 30
Anya, a network administrator, is investigating intermittent connectivity disruptions affecting specific VLANs across a deployment of FortiSwitch devices centrally managed by FortiManager. Users report sporadic inability to access resources within these VLANs, though the physical cabling and port status appear normal. Anya has verified that the FortiGate firewall policies are correctly configured to permit traffic for these VLANs. What is the most effective initial diagnostic step to pinpoint and resolve the root cause of these intermittent VLAN access issues in this managed environment?
Review the FortiSwitch configuration template and assigned policy within FortiManager for any discrepancies or errors related to the affected VLANs.
Directly configure the VLAN interfaces on each affected FortiSwitch using its local Command Line Interface (CLI) to ensure correct subnet and gateway settings.
Examine the routing tables on the FortiGate firewall to confirm that the VLAN subnets are correctly advertised and reachable.
Execute a command to disable and then re-enable the affected VLAN interfaces on the local CLI of each impacted FortiSwitch.
