Hello NAC admins,

My question is, which scenario is recommended, FortiNAC acting as DHCP server for isolated devices or Fortigate acting as a DHCP server ?

As per my knowledge it MUST be FortiNAC the DHCP server for isolated devices.  I'm pretty sure something will not work properly if you setup FGT instead, but I don't have it in mind.
