Check the vendor-documented quarantine license, client platform and component prerequisites before promising host isolation. This is a response to a different condition, quarantine prerequisites and platform support, under the same Fortinet exam task. The reported issue instead depends on this technical distinction: A configured connector address is not equivalent to a mutually authorized Security Fabric relationship.

A controlled log event is recognized by FortiAnalyzer and produces the expected corresponding EMS endpoint tag.
