Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
D. get system arp
Explanation: The get system arp command allows administrators to view the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) table on the FortiGate unit. This table maps IP addresses to MAC addresses and can be used to troubleshoot Layer 2 issues, such as an IP address conflict, by checking for duplicate IP addresses or incorrect MAC address mappings.
If you suspect that there is an IP address conflict, or that an IP has been assigned to the wrong device, you may need to look at the ARP table. The get system arp command is used for that purpose.
