What is the benefit of using FortiGate NAC LAN Segments?
- A. It provides support for IGMP snooping between hosts within the same VLAN
- B. It provides physical isolation without changing the IP address of hosts.
- C. It provides support for multiple DHCP servers within the same VLAN.
- D. It allows for assignment of dynamic address objects matching NAC policy.
Answer: D
Explanation:
FortiGate NAC LAN Segments are a feature that allows users to assign different VLANs to different LAN segments without changing the IP address of hosts or bouncing the switch port. This provides physical isolation while maintaining firewall sessions and avoiding DHCP issues. One benefit of using FortiGate NAC LAN Segments is that it allows for assignment of dynamic address objects matching NAC policy. This means that users can create firewall policies based on dynamic address objects that match the NAC policy criteria, such as device type, OS type, MAC address, etc. This simplifies firewall policy management and enhances security by applying different security profiles to different types of devices.

NEW QUESTION # 17
Refer to the exhibits.

A customer wants to deploy 12 FortiAP 431F devices on high density conference center, but they do not currently have any PoE switches to connect them to. They want to be able to run them at full power while having network redundancy From the FortiSwitch models and sample retail prices shown in the exhibit, which build of materials would have the lowest cost, while fulfilling the customer's requirements?
- A. 2x FortiSwitch 124E-FPOE
- B. 2x FortiSwitch 248E-FPOE
- C. 2x FortiSwitch 224E-POE
- D. 1x FortiSwitch 248EFPOE
Answer: B
Explanation:
The customer wants to deploy 12 FortiAP 431F devices on a high density conference center, but they do not have any PoE switches to connect them to. They want to be able to run them at full power while having network redundancy. PoE switches are switches that can provide both data and power to connected devices over Ethernet cables, eliminating the need for separate power adapters or outlets. PoE switches are useful for deploying devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones in locations where power outlets are scarce or inconvenient. The FortiAP 431F is a wireless access point that supports PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) standard, which can deliver up to 30W of power per port. The FortiAP 431F has a maximum power consumption of 25W when running at full power. Therefore, to run 12 FortiAP 431F devices at full power, the customer needs PoE switches that can provide at least 300W of total PoE power budget (25W x 12). The customer also needs network redundancy, which means that they need at least two PoE switches to connect the FortiAP devices in case one switch fails or loses power. From the FortiSwitch models and sample retail prices shown in the exhibit, the build of materials that has the lowest cost while fulfilling the customer's requirements is 2x FortiSwitch 248E-FPOE. The FortiSwitch 248E-FPOE is a PoE switch that has 48 GE ports with PoE+ capability and a total PoE power budget of 370W. It also has 4x 10 GE SFP+ uplink ports for high-speed connectivity. The sample retail price of the FortiSwitch 248E-FPOE is $1,995, which means that two units will cost $3,990. This is the lowest cost among the other options that can meet the customer's requirements. Option A is incorrect because the FortiSwitch 248EFPOE is a non-PoE switch that has no PoE capability or power budget. It cannot provide power to the FortiAP devices over Ethernet cables. Option B is incorrect because the FortiSwitch 224E-POE is a PoE switch that has only 24 GE ports with PoE+ capability and a total PoE power budget of 185W. It cannot provide enough ports or power to run 12 FortiAP devices at full power. Option D is incorrect because the FortiSwitch 124E-FPOE is a PoE switch that has only 24 GE ports with PoE+ capability and a total PoE power budget of 185W. It cannot provide enough ports or power to run 12 FortiAP devices at full power.

NEW QUESTION # 18
Refer to the exhibit.
A customer has deployed a FortiGate 200F high-availability (HA) cluster that contains & TPM chip. The exhibit shows output from the FortiGate CLI session where the administrator enabled TPM.
Following these actions, the administrator immediately notices that both FortiGate high availability (HA) status and FortiManager status for the FortiGate are negatively impacted.
What are the two reasons for this behavior? (Choose two.)
- A. Configuration for TPM is not synchronized between FortiGate HA cluster members.
- B. TPM functionality is not yet compatible with FortiGate HA D The administrator needs to manually enter the hex private data encryption key in FortiManager
- C. The FortiGate has not finished the auto-update process to synchronize the new configuration to FortiManager yet.
- D. The private-data-encryption key entered on the primary did not match the value that the TPM expected.
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
The two reasons for the negative impact on the FortiGate HA status and FortiManager status after enabling TPM are:
The private-data-encryption key entered on the primary unit did not match the value that the TPM expected. This could happen if the TPM was previously enabled and then disabled, and the key was changed in between. The TPM will reject the new key and cause an error in the configuration synchronization.
Configuration for TPM is not synchronized between FortiGate HA cluster members. Each cluster member must have the same private-data-encryption key to form a valid HA cluster and synchronize their configurations. However, enabling TPM on one unit does not automatically enable it on the other units, and the key must be manually entered on each unit. To resolve these issues, the administrator should disable TPM on all units, clear the TPM data, and then enable TPM again with the same private-data-encryption key on each unit.

NEW QUESTION # 19
A customer's cybersecurity department needs to implement security for the traffic between two VPCs in AWS, but these belong to different departments within the company. The company uses a single region for all their VPCs.
Which two actions will achieve this requirement while keeping separate management of each department's VPC? (Choose two.)
- A. Create a transit VPC with a FortiGate HA cluster, connect to the other two using VPC peering, and use routing tables to force traffic through the FortiGate cluster.
- B. Create a VPC with a FortiGate auto-scaling group with a Transit Gateway attached to the three VPC to force routing through the FortiGate cluster
- C. Create an 1AM account for the cybersecurity department to manage both existing VPC, create a FortiGate HA Cluster on each VPC and IPSEC VPN to force traffic between the VPCs through the FortiGate clusters
- D. Migrate all the instances to the same VPC and create 1AM accounts for each department, then implement a new subnet for a FortiGate auto-scaling group and use routing tables to force the traffic through the FortiGate cluster.
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
To implement security for the traffic between two VPCs in AWS, while keeping separate management of each department's VPC, two possible actions are:
Create a transit VPC with a FortiGate HA cluster, connect to the other two using VPC peering, and use routing tables to force traffic through the FortiGate cluster. This option allows the cybersecurity department to manage the transit VPC and apply security policies on the FortiGate cluster, while the other departments can manage their own VPCs and instances. The VPC peering connections enable direct communication between the VPCs without using public IPs or gateways. The routing tables can be configured to direct all inter-VPC traffic to the transit VPC.
Create a VPC with a FortiGate auto-scaling group with a Transit Gateway attached to the three VPCs to force routing through the FortiGate cluster. This option also allows the cybersecurity department to manage the security VPC and apply security policies on the FortiGate cluster, while the other departments can manage their own VPCs and instances. The Transit Gateway acts as a network hub that connects multiple VPCs and on-premises networks. The routing tables can be configured to direct all inter-VPC traffic to the security VPC.

NEW QUESTION # 20
Refer to the exhibit containing the configuration snippets from the FortiGate. Customer requirements:
* SSLVPN Portal must be accessible on standard HTTPS port (TCP/443)
* Public IP address (129.11.1.100) is assigned to portl
* Datacenter.acmecorp.com resolves to the public IP address assigned to portl The customer has a Let's Encrypt certificate that is going to expire soon and it reports that subsequent attempts to renew that certificate are failing.
Reviewing the requirement and the exhibit, which configuration change below will resolve this issue?
A)
B)
C)

- A. Option B
- B. Option A
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Answer: A
Explanation:
The customer's SSLVPN Portal is currently configured to use a self-signed certificate. This means that the certificate is not trusted by any browsers, and users will have to accept a security warning before they can connect to the portal.
To resolve this issue, the customer needs to configure the FortiGate to use a Let's Encrypt certificate. Let's Encrypt is a free certificate authority that provides trusted certificates for websites and other applications.
The configuration change in option B will configure the FortiGate to use a Let's Encrypt certificate for the SSLVPN Portal. This will allow users to connect to the portal without having to accept a security warning.
The other configuration changes are not necessary to resolve the issue. Option A will configure the FortiGate to use a different port for the SSLVPN Portal, but this will not resolve the issue with the self-signed certificate. Option C will configure the FortiGate to use a different DNS name for the SSLVPN Portal, but this will also not resolve the issue with the self-signed certificate. Option D will configure the FortiGate to use a different certificate authority for the SSLVPN Portal, but this will also not resolve the issue because the customer still needs to use a trusted certificate.

NEW QUESTION # 21
Refer to the exhibits.
A FortiGate cluster (CL-1) protects a data center hosting multiple web applications. A pair of FortiADC devices are already configured for SSL decryption (FAD-1), and re-encryption (FAD-2). CL-1 must accept unencrypted traffic from FAD-1, perform application detection on the plain-text traffic, and forward the inspected traffic to FAD-2.
The SSL-Offload-App-Detect application list and SSL-Offload protocol options profile are applied to the firewall policy handling the web application traffic on CL-1.
Given this scenario, which two configuration tasks must the administrator perform on CL-1? (Choose two.) A)
B)


- A. Option B
- B. Option C
- C. Option A
- D. Option D
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
To enable application detection on plain-text traffic that has been decrypted by FortiADC, the administrator must perform two configuration tasks on CL-1:
Enable SSL offloading in the firewall policy and select the SSL-Offload protocol options profile.
Enable application control in the firewall policy and select the SSL-Offload-App-Detect application list. References: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.4.0/cookbook/103438/application-detection-on-ssl-offloaded-traffic
NEW QUESTION # 22
Refer to the exhibit.
You are operating an internal network with multiple OSPF routers on the same LAN segment. FGT_3 needs to be added to the OSPF network and has the configuration shown in the exhibit. FGT_3 is not establishing any OSPF connection.
What needs to be changed to the configuration to make sure FGT_3 will establish OSPF neighbors without affecting the DR/BDR election?
- A.

- B.

- C.

- D.

Answer: C
Explanation:
The OSPF configuration shown in the exhibit is using the default priority value of 1 for the interface port1. This means that FGT_3 will participate in the DR/BDR election process with the other OSPF routers on the same LAN segment. However, this is not desirable because FGT_3 is a new device that needs to be added to the OSPF network without affecting the existing DR/BDR election. Therefore, to make sure FGT_3 will establish OSPF neighbors without affecting the DR/BDR election, the priority value of the interface port1 should be changed to 0. This will prevent FGT_3 from becoming a DR or BDR and allow it to form OSPF adjacencies with the current DR and BDR. Option B shows the correct configuration that changes the priority value to 0. Option A is incorrect because it does not change the priority value. Option C is incorrect because it changes the network type to point-to-point, which is not suitable for a LAN segment with multiple OSPF routers. Option D is incorrect because it changes the area ID to 0.0.0.1, which does not match the area ID of the other OSPF routers on the same LAN segment.

NEW QUESTION # 23
Refer to the exhibit.
The exhibit shows two error messages from a FortiGate root Security Fabric device when you try to configure a new connection to a FortiClient EMS Server.
Referring to the exhibit, which two actions will fix these errors? (Choose two.)
- A. Verify that the CRL is accessible from the root FortiGate
- B. Authorize the root FortiGate on the FortiClient EMS
- C. Install a new known CA on the Win2K16-EMS server.
- D. Export and import the FortiClient EMS server certificate to the root FortiGate.
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
Based on the exhibit, the two actions that will fix the errors when trying to configure a new connection to a FortiClient EMS server are:
Export and import the FortiClient EMS server certificate to the root FortiGate. This will resolve the error message that says "The server certificate is not trusted". The root FortiGate needs to have the FortiClient EMS server certificate in its trusted CA list in order to establish a secure connection with it. The administrator can export the server certificate from the FortiClient EMS web UI and import it to the root FortiGate using the CLI or GUI.
Authorize the root FortiGate on the FortiClient EMS. This will resolve the error message that says "The device is not authorized". The FortiClient EMS needs to have the root FortiGate in its authorized device list in order to allow it to connect and receive configuration information. The administrator can authorize the root FortiGate on the FortiClient EMS web UI by entering its serial number and IP address. Reference: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.0.1/administration-guide/185333/forticlient-ems https://docs.fortinet.com/document/forticlient/6.0.3/administration-guide/936332/fortigate-and-ems-integration
NEW QUESTION # 24
Refer to the exhibit.
FortiManager is configured with the Jinja Script under CLI Templates shown in the exhibit.
Which two statements correctly describe the expected behavior when running this template? (Choose two.)
- A. The Jinja template will automatically map the interface with "WAN" role on the managed FortiGate.
- B. The administrator must first manually map the interface for each device with a meta field.
- C. The template will work if you change the variable format to {{ WAN }}.
- D. The template will fail because this configuration can only be applied with a CLI or TCL script.
- E. The template will fail because this configuration can only be applied with a CLI or TCL script.
- F. The template will work if you change the variable format to $(WAN).
Answer: B,E
Explanation:
The Jinja template in the exhibit is trying to configure the interface role on the managed FortiGate. This type of configuration can only be applied with a CLI or TCL script. The Jinja template will fail because it is not a valid CLI or TCL script.
Explanation:
d) The administrator must first manually map the interface for each device with a meta field.
The Jinja template in the exhibit is expecting a meta field called WAN to be set on the managed FortiGate. This meta field will specify which interface on the FortiGate should be assigned the "WAN" role. If the meta field is not set, then the template will fail.
NEW QUESTION # 25
Refer to the exhibit showing FortiGate configurations
FortiManager VM high availability (HA) is not functioning as expected after being added to an existing deployment.
The administrator finds that VRRP HA mode is selected, but primary and secondary roles are greyed out in the GUI The managed devices never show online when FMG-B becomes primary, but they will show online whenever the FMG-A becomes primary.
What change will correct HA functionality in this scenario?
- A. Make the monitored IP to match on both FortiManager devices.
- B. Change the FortiManager IP address on the managed FortiGate to 10.3.106.65.
- C. Change the priority of FMG-A to be numerically lower for higher preference
- D. Unset the primary and secondary roles in the FortiManager CLI configuration so VRRP will decide who is primary.
Answer: A
Explanation:
B is correct because the monitored IP must match on both FortiManager devices for HA to function properly. This is explained in the FortiManager Administration Guide under High Availability > Configuring HA options > Configuring HA options using the GUI.

NEW QUESTION # 26
A customer wants to use the FortiAuthenticator REST API to retrieve an SSO group called SalesGroup. The following API call is being made with the 'curl' utility:
Which two statements correctly describe the expected behavior of the FortiAuthenticator REST API? (Choose two.)
- A. The syntax is incorrect because the API calls needs the get method.
- B. If the REST API web service access key is lost, it cannot be retrieved and must be changed.
- C. Only users with the "Full permission" role can access the REST API
- D. This API call will fail because it requires that API version 2
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
To retrieve an SSO group called SalesGroup using the FortiAuthenticator REST API, the following issues need to be fixed in the API call:
The API version should be v2, not v1, as SSO groups are only supported in version 2 of the REST API.
The HTTP method should be GET, not POST, as GET is used to retrieve information from the server, while POST is used to create or update information on the server. Therefore, a correct API call would look like this: curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" https://fac.example.com/api/v2/sso/groups/SalesGroup Reference: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortiauthenticator/6.4.1/rest-api-solution-guide/927310/introduction https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortiauthenticator/6.4.1/rest-api-solution-guide/927311/sso-groups
NEW QUESTION # 27
Refer to the exhibit, which shows a Branch1 configuration and routing table.
In the SD-WAN implicit rule, you do not want the traffic load balance for the overlay interface when all members are available.
In this scenario, which configuration change will meet this requirement?
- A. Create a new static route with the internet sdwan-zone only
- B. Configure the priority in each overlay member to 10.
- C. Change the load-balance-mode to source-ip-based.
- D. Configure the cost in each overlay member to 10.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The default load balancing mode for the SD-WAN implicit rule is source IP based. This means that traffic will be load balanced evenly between the overlay members, regardless of the member's priority.
To prevent traffic from being load balanced, you can configure the priority of each overlay member to 10. This will make the member ineligible for load balancing.
The other options are not correct. Changing the load balancing mode to source-IP based will still result in traffic being load balanced. Creating a new static route with the internet sdwan-zone only will not affect the load balancing of the overlay interface. Configuring the cost in each overlay member to 10 will also not affect the load balancing, as the cost is only used when the implicit rule cannot find a match for the destination IP address.
NEW QUESTION # 28
You are responsible for recommending an adapter type for NICs on a FortiGate VM that will run on an ESXi Hypervisor. Your recommendation must consider performance as the main concern, cost is not a factor. Which adapter type for the NICs will you recommend?
- A. Physical Function (PF) PCI Passthrough
- B. Virtual Function (VF) PCI Passthrough
- C. Native ESXi Networking with E1000
- D. Native ESXi Networking with VMXNET3
Answer: D
Explanation:
The FortiGate VM is a virtual firewall appliance that can run on various hypervisors, such as ESXi, Hyper-V, KVM, etc. The adapter type for NICs on a FortiGate VM determines the performance and compatibility of the network interface cards with the hypervisor and the physical network. There are different adapter types available for NICs on a FortiGate VM, such as E1000, VMXNET3, SR-IOV, etc. If performance is the main concern and cost is not a factor, one option is to use native ESXi networking with VMXNET3 adapter type for NICs on a FortiGate VM that will run on an ESXi hypervisor. VMXNET3 is a paravirtualized network interface card that is optimized for performance in virtual machines and supports features such as multiqueue support, Receive Side Scaling (RSS), Large Receive Offload (LRO), IPv6 offloads, and MSI/MSI-X interrupt delivery. Native ESXi networking means that the FortiGate VM uses the standard virtual switch (vSwitch) or distributed virtual switch (dvSwitch) provided by the ESXi hypervisor to connect to the physical network. This option can provide high performance and compatibility for NICs on a FortiGate VM without requiring additional hardware or software components.

You are running a diagnose command continuously as traffic flows through a platform with NP6 and you obtain the following output:
Given the information shown in the output, which two statements are true? (Choose two.)
- A. There are packet drops at the XAUI.
- B. Enable HPE shaper for the NP6 will change the output
- C. The output is showing a packet descriptor queue accumulated counter
- D. Host-shortcut mode is enabled.
- E. Enabling bandwidth control between the ISF and the NP will change the output
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
The diagnose command shown in the output is used to display information about NP6 packet descriptor queues. The output shows that there are 16 NP6 units in total, and each unit has four XAUI ports (XA0-XA3). The output also shows that there are some non-zero values in the columns PDQ ACCU (packet descriptor queue accumulated counter) and PDQ DROP (packet descriptor queue drop counter). These values indicate that there are some packet descriptor queues that have reached their maximum capacity and have dropped some packets at the XAUI ports. This could be caused by congestion or misconfiguration of the XAUI ports or the ISF (Internal Switch Fabric).

Refer to the exhibit.
A FortiWeb appliance is configured for load balancing web sessions to internal web servers. The Server Pool is configured as shown in the exhibit.
How will the sessions be load balanced between server 1 and server 2 during normal operation?
- A. Server 1 will receive 0% of the sessions Server 2 will receive 100% of the sessions
- B. Server 1 will receive 25% of the sessions, Server 2 will receive 75% of the sessions
- C. Server 1 will receive 20% of the sessions, Server 2 will receive 66.6% of the sessions
- D. Server 1 will receive 33.3% of the sessions, Server 2 will receive 66 6% of the sessions
Answer: A
Explanation:
D is correct because server 1 has a weight of 0, which means it will not receive any sessions from the load balancer. Server 2 has a weight of 100, which means it will receive all sessions from the load balancer. This is explained in the FortiWeb Administration Guide under Server Load Balancing > Server pools > Weighted round robin.

NEW QUESTION # 32
SD-WAN is configured on a FortiGate. You notice that when one of the internet links has high latency the time to resolve names using DNS from FortiGate is very high.
You must ensure that the FortiGate DNS resolution times are as low as possible with the least amount of work.
What should you configure?
- A. Configure local out traffic to use the outgoing interface based on SD-WAN rules with the interface IP and configure an SD-WAN rule to the DNS server.
- B. Configure local out traffic to use the outgoing interface based on SD-WAN rules with a manual defined IP associated to a loopback interface and configure an SD-WAN rule from the loopback to the DNS server.
- C. Configure an SD-WAN rule to the DNS server and use the FortiGate interface IPs in the source address.
- D. Configure two DNS servers and use DNS servers recommended by the two internet providers.
Answer: A
Explanation:
SD-WAN is a feature that allows users to optimize network performance and reliability by using multiple WAN links and applying rules based on various criteria, such as latency, jitter, packet loss, etc. One way to ensure that the FortiGate DNS resolution times are as low as possible with the least amount of work is to configure local out traffic to use the outgoing interface based on SD-WAN rules with the interface IP and configure an SD-WAN rule to the DNS server. This means that the FortiGate will use the best WAN link available to send DNS queries to the DNS server according to the SD-WAN rule, and use its own interface IP as the source address. This avoids NAT issues and ensures optimal DNS performance. References: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.0.0/sd-wan/19662/sd-wan
NEW QUESTION # 33
Refer to the exhibit, which shows the high availability configuration for the FortiAuthenticator (FAC1).
Based on this information, which statement is true about the next FortiAuthenticator (FAC2) member that will join an HA cluster with this FortiAuthenticator (FAC1)?
- A. FAC2 can only process requests when FAC1 fails.
- B. The FortiToken license will need to be installed on the FAC2.
- C. FAC2 can have its HA interface on a different network than FAC1.
- D. FSSO sessions from FAC1 will be synchronized to FAC2.
Answer: D
Explanation:
When FortiAuthenticator operates in cluster mode, it provides active-passive failover and synchronization of all configuration and data, including FSSO sessions, between the cluster members. Therefore, if FAC1 is the active unit and FAC2 is the standby unit, any FSSO sessions from FAC1 will be synchronized to FAC2.

NEW QUESTION # 34
Refer to the exhibits.
The exhibits show a FortiMail network topology, Inbound configuration settings, and a Dictionary Profile.
You are required to integrate a third-party's host service (srv.thirdparty.com) into the e-mail processing path.
All inbound e-mails must be processed by FortiMail antispam and antivirus with FortiSandbox integration. If the email is clean, FortiMail must forward it to the third-party service, which will send the email back to FortiMail for final delivery, FortiMail must not scan the e-mail again.
Which three configuration tasks must be performed to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)
- A. Apply the Catch-Ail profile to the CFInbound profile and configure a content action profile to deliver to the srv. thirdparty. com FQDN
- B. Apply the Catch-AII profile to the ASinbound profile and configure an access delivery rule to deliver to the 100.64.0.72 host.
- C. Create an IP policy with a Source value of 100. 64 .0.72/32, enable precedence, and place the policy at the top of the list.
- D. Change the scan order in FML-GW to antispam-sandbox-content.
- E. Create an access receive rule with a Sender value of srv. thirdparcy.com, Recipient value of *@acme.com, and action value of Safe
Answer: A,C,D
Explanation:
A is correct because the scan order must be changed to antispam-sandbox-content in order for FortiMail to scan the email for spam and viruses before forwarding it to the third-party service.
B is correct because the Catch-All profile must be applied to the CFInbound profile in order for FortiMail to forward clean emails to the third-party service.
E is correct because an IP policy must be created with a Source value of 100.64.0.72/32 in order to allow emails from the third-party service to be delivered to FortiMail.
The other options are not necessary to meet the requirements. Option C is not necessary because the access receive rule will already allow emails from the third-party service to be received by FortiMail. Option D is not necessary because the Catch-All profile already allows emails to be delivered to any destination.
Here are some additional details about integrating a third-party service into the FortiMail email processing path:
The third-party service must be able to receive emails from FortiMail and send them back to FortiMail.
The third-party service must be able to communicate with FortiMail using the SMTP protocol.
The third-party service must be able to authenticate with FortiMail using the SMTP AUTH protocol.
Once the third-party service is integrated into the FortiMail email processing path, all inbound emails will be processed by FortiMail as usual. If the email is clean, FortiMail will forward it to the third-party service. The third-party service will then send the email back to FortiMail for final delivery. FortiMail will not scan the email again.
NEW QUESTION # 35
Refer to the exhibits.

A customer is looking for a solution to authenticate the clients connected to a hardware switch interface of a FortiGate 400E.
Referring to the exhibits, which two conditions allow authentication to the client devices before assigning an IP address? (Choose two.)
- A. FortiGate devices with NP6 and hardware switch interfaces cannot support 802.1X authentication.
- B. Devices connected directly to ports 3 and 4 can perform 802 1X authentication.
- C. Ports 3 and 4 can be part of different switch interfaces.
- D. Client devices must have 802 1X authentication enabled
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
The customer wants to deploy a solution to authenticate the clients connected to a hardware switch interface of a FortiGate 400E device. A hardware switch interface is an interface that combines multiple physical interfaces into one logical interface, allowing them to act as a single switch with one IP address and one set of security policies. The customer wants to use 802.1X authentication for this solution, which is a standard protocol for port-based network access control (PNAC) that authenticates clients based on their credentials before granting them access to network resources. One condition that allows authentication to the client devices before assigning an IP address is that devices connected directly to ports 3 and 4 can perform 802.1X authentication. This is because ports 3 and 4 are part of the hardware switch interface named "lan", which has an IP address of 10.10.10.254/24 and an inbound SSL inspection profile named "ssl-inspection". The inbound SSL inspection profile enables the FortiGate device to intercept and inspect SSL/TLS traffic from clients before forwarding it to servers, which allows it to apply security policies and features such as antivirus, web filtering, application control, etc. However, before performing SSL inspection, the FortiGate device needs to authenticate the clients using 802.1X authentication, which requires the clients to send their credentials (such as username and password) to the FortiGate device over a secure EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) channel. The FortiGate device then verifies the credentials with an authentication server (such as RADIUS or LDAP) and grants or denies access to the clients based on the authentication result. Therefore, devices connected directly to ports 3 and 4 can perform 802.1X authentication before assigning an IP address. Another condition that allows authentication to the client devices before assigning an IP address is that client devices must have 802.1X authentication enabled. This is because 802.1X authentication is a mutual process that requires both the client devices and the FortiGate device to support and enable it. The client devices must have 802.1X authentication enabled in their network settings, which allows them to initiate the authentication process when they connect to the hardware switch interface of the FortiGate device. The client devices must also have an 802.1X supplicant software installed, which is a program that runs on the client devices and handles the communication with the FortiGate device using EAP messages. The client devices must also have a trusted certificate installed, which is used to verify the identity of the FortiGate device and establish a secure EAP channel. Therefore, client devices must have 802.1X authentication enabled before assigning an IP address.

NEW QUESTION # 36
Refer to the exhibits.
The exhibits show a FortiGate network topology and the output of the status of high availability on the FortiGate.
Given this information, which statement is correct?
- A. The cluster mode can support a maximum of four (4) FortiGate VMs
- B. The ethertype values of the HA packets are 0x8890, 0x8891, and 0x8892
- C. The cluster members are on the same network and the IP addresses were statically assigned.
- D. FGVMEVLQOG33WM3D and FGVMEVGCJNHFYI4A share a virtual MAC address.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The output of the status of high availability on the FortiGate shows that the cluster mode is active-passive, which means that only one FortiGate unit is active at a time, while the other unit is in standby mode. The active unit handles all traffic and also sends HA heartbeat packets to monitor the standby unit. The standby unit becomes active if it stops receiving heartbeat packets from the active unit, or if it receives a higher priority from another cluster unit. In active-passive mode, all cluster units share a virtual MAC address for each interface, which is used as the source MAC address for all packets forwarded by the cluster.

NEW QUESTION # 37
You are running a diagnose command continuously as traffic flows through a platform with NP6 and you obtain the following output:
Given the information shown in the output, which two statements are true? (Choose two.)
- A. There are packet drops at the XAUI.
- B. Enable HPE shaper for the NP6 will change the output
- C. The output is showing a packet descriptor queue accumulated counter
- D. Host-shortcut mode is enabled.
- E. Enabling bandwidth control between the ISF and the NP will change the output
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
The diagnose command shown in the output is used to display information about NP6 packet descriptor queues. The output shows that there are 16 NP6 units in total, and each unit has four XAUI ports (XA0-XA3). The output also shows that there are some non-zero values in the columns PDQ ACCU (packet descriptor queue accumulated counter) and PDQ DROP (packet descriptor queue drop counter). These values indicate that there are some packet descriptor queues that have reached their maximum capacity and have dropped some packets at the XAUI ports. This could be caused by congestion or misconfiguration of the XAUI ports or the ISF (Internal Switch Fabric). References: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.0.0/cli-reference/19662/diagnose-np6-pdq The output is showing a packet descriptor queue accumulated counter, which is a measure of the number of packets that have been dropped by the NP6 due to congestion. The counter will increase if there are more packets than the NP6 can handle, which can happen if the bandwidth between the ISF and the NP is not sufficient or if the HPE shaper is enabled.
The output also shows that there are packet drops at the XAUI, which is the interface between the NP6 and the FortiGate's backplane. This means that the NP6 is not able to keep up with the traffic and is dropping packets.
The other statements are not true. Host-shortcut mode is not enabled, and enabling bandwidth control between the ISF and the NP will not change the output. HPE shaper is a feature that can be enabled to improve performance, but it will not change the output of the diagnose command.
NEW QUESTION # 38
An administrator has configured a FortiGate device to authenticate SSL VPN users using digital certificates. A FortiAuthenticator is the certificate authority (CA) and the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) server.
Part of the FortiGate configuration is shown below:
Based on this configuration, which two statements are true? (Choose two.)
- A. If the OCSP server is unreachable, authentication will succeed if the certificate matches the CA.
- B. The OCSP check of the certificate can be combined with a certificate revocation list.
- C. OCSP certificate responses are never cached by the FortiGate.
- D. OCSP checks will always go to the configured FortiAuthenticator
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
B is correct because the OCSP check of the certificate can be combined with a certificate revocation list (CRL). This means that the FortiGate will check the OCSP server to see if the certificate has been revoked, and it will also check the CRL to see if the certificate has been revoked.
D is correct because if the OCSP server is unreachable, authentication will succeed if the certificate matches the CA. This is because the FortiGate will fall back to using the CRL if the OCSP server is unreachable.
The other options are incorrect. Option A is incorrect because OCSP checks can go to other OCSP servers, not just the FortiAuthenticator. Option C is incorrect because OCSP certificate responses can be cached by the FortiGate.

NEW QUESTION # 39
Refer to the exhibit.
You have deployed a security fabric with three FortiGate devices as shown in the exhibit. FGT_2 has the following configuration:
FGT_1 and FGT_3 are configured with the default setting. Which statement is true for the synchronization of fabric-objects?
- A. Objects from the root FortiGate will only be synchronized to FGT_3.
- B. Objects from the FortiGate FGT_2 will be synchronized to the upstream FortiGate.
- C. Objects from the root FortiGate will only be synchronized to FGT__2.
- D. Objects from the root FortiGate will not be synchronized to any downstream FortiGate.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The security fabric shown in the exhibit consists of three FortiGate devices connected in a hierarchical topology, where FGT_1 is the root device, FGT_2 is a downstream device, and FGT_3 is a downstream device of FGT_2. FGT_2 has a configuration setting that enables fabric-object synchronization for all objects except firewall policies and firewall policy packages (set sync-fabric-objects enable). Fabric-object synchronization is a feature that allows downstream devices to synchronize their objects (such as addresses, services, schedules, etc.) with their upstream devices in a security fabric. This simplifies object management and ensures consistency across devices. Therefore, in this case, objects from FGT_2 will be synchronized to FGT_1 (the upstream device), but not to FGT_3 (the downstream device). Objects from FGT_1 will not be synchronized to any downstream device because the default setting for fabric-object synchronization is disabled. Objects from FGT_3 will not be synchronized to any device because it does not have fabric-object synchronization enabled.
