NEW QUESTION # 12
An HA topology is using the following configuration:
Based on this configuration, how long will it take for a failover to be detected by the secondary cluster member?
- A. 600ms
- B. 300ms
- C. 100ms
- D. 200ms
Answer: D
Explanation:
The HA heartbeat interval is 100ms, and the number of lost heartbeats before a failover is detected is 2. So, it will take 2 * 100ms = 200ms for a failover to be detected by the secondary cluster member.

NEW QUESTION # 13
A remote worker requests access to an SSH server inside the network. You deployed a ZTNA Rule to their FortiClient. You need to follow the security requirements to inspect this traffic.
Which two statements are true regarding the requirements? (Choose two.)
- A. FortiGate can perform SSH access proxy host-key validation.
- B. SSH traffic is tunneled between the client and the access proxy over HTTPS
- C. You need to configure a FortiClient SSL-VPN tunnel to inspect the SSH traffic.
- D. Traffic is discarded as ZTNA does not support SSH connection rules
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
ZTNA supports SSH connection rules that allow remote workers to access SSH servers inside the network through an HTTPS tunnel between the client and the access proxy (FortiGate). The access proxy acts as an SSH client to connect to the real SSH server on behalf of the user, and performs host-key validation to verify the identity of the server. The user can use any SSH client that supports HTTPS proxy settings, such as PuTTY or OpenSSH.

NEW QUESTION # 14
Review the following FortiGate-6000 configuration excerpt:
Based on the configuration, which statement is correct regarding SNAT source port partitioning behavior?
- A. It equally distributes SNAT source ports across chassis slots.
- B. It is the default SNAT configuration and preserves active sessions when an FPC or FPM goes down.
- C. It statically distributes SNAT source ports to operating FPCs or FPMs
- D. It dynamically distributes SNAT source ports to operating FPCs or FPMs.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The configuration excerpt shows that the SNAT source port partitioning behavior is set to dynamic. This means that the FortiGate will dynamically distribute SNAT source ports to operating FPCs or FPMs. This ensures that active sessions are not interrupted if an FPC or FPM goes down.
The other options are incorrect. Option B is incorrect because the default SNAT configuration is static. Option C is incorrect because the configuration excerpt does not specify that SNAT source ports are statically distributed. Option D is incorrect because the SNAT source ports are not evenly distributed across chassis slots.
Here are some additional details about SNAT source port partitioning behavior:
SNAT source port partitioning behavior can be set to dynamic or static.
The default SNAT configuration is static.
Dynamic SNAT source port partitioning ensures that active sessions are not interrupted if an FPC or FPM goes down.
Static SNAT source port partitioning can improve performance by reducing the number of SNAT lookups.
NEW QUESTION # 15
Refer to the exhibit.
A customer has deployed a FortiGate 300E with virtual domains (VDOMs) enabled in the multi-VDOM mode. There are three VDOMs: Root is for management and internet access, while VDOM 1 and VDOM 2 are used for segregating internal traffic. AccountVInk and SalesVInk are standard VDOM links in Ethernet mode.
Given the exhibit, which two statements below about VDOM behavior are correct? (Choose two.)
- A. You can apply OSPF routing on the VDOM link in either PPP or Ethernet mode
- B. The VDOM links are in Ethernet mode because they have IP addressed assigned on both sides.
- C. OSPF routing can be configured between VDOM 1 and Root VDOM without any configuration changes to AccountVInk
- D. Traffic on AccountVInk and SalesVInk will not be accelerated.
- E. Root VDOM is an Admin type VDOM, while VDOM 1 and VDOM 2 are Traffic type VDOMs.
Answer: D,E
Explanation:
The FortiGate configuration shown in the exhibit is using virtual domains (VDOMs) enabled in multi-VDOM mode. There are three VDOMs: Root is for management and internet access, while VDOM 1 and VDOM 2 are used for segregating internal traffic. AccountVInk and SalesVInk are standard VDOM links in Ethernet mode. One correct statement about VDOM behavior is that traffic on AccountVInk and SalesVInk will not be accelerated. This is because standard VDOM links do not support hardware acceleration features such as NP6 or CP9 offloading, which can improve performance and throughput for traffic between VDOMs. To enable hardware acceleration for inter-VDOM traffic, non-standard VDOM links such as NP6 or CP9 interfaces should be used instead of standard VDOM links. Another correct statement about VDOM behavior is that Root VDOM is an Admin type VDOM, while VDOM 1 and VDOM 2 are Traffic type VDOMs. This is because Admin type VDOMs are special VDOMs that can only be used for management purposes and cannot process any traffic other than management traffic (such as SSH, HTTPS, SNMP, etc.). Traffic type VDOMs are normal VDOMs that can process any kind of traffic (such as firewall policies, VPN tunnels, routing protocols, etc.). By default, Root VDOM is an Admin type VDOM that can manage other Traffic type VDOMs, unless it is converted to a Traffic type VDOM by using the set vdom-admin enable command.

NEW QUESTION # 16
Which two statements are correct on a FortiGate using the FortiGuard Outbreak Protection Service (VOS)? (Choose two.)
- A. The AV engine scan must be enabled to use the FortiGuard VOS feature
- B. If third-party AV database returns a match the scanned file is deemed to be malicious.
- C. The hash signatures are obtained from the FortiGuard Global Threat Intelligence database.
- D. The antivirus database queries FortiGuard with the hash of a scanned file
- E. The FortiGuard VOS can be used only with proxy-base policy inspections.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
The FortiGuard Outbreak Prevention Service (VOS) is a feature that enhances the antivirus scanning capabilities of FortiGate by querying FortiGuard with the hash of a scanned file that is not found in the local antivirus database. If the hash matches a signature in the FortiGuard Global Threat Intelligence database, which contains information about known malware and zero-day threats, the file is deemed to be malicious and blocked by FortiGate. The VOS feature can be used with both proxy-based and flow-based policy inspections, and does not require the AV engine scan to be enabled.

NEW QUESTION # 17
Review the following FortiGate-6000 configuration excerpt:
Based on the configuration, which statement is correct regarding SNAT source port partitioning behavior?
- A. It statically distributes SNAT source ports to operating FPCs or FPMs
- B. It equally distributes SNAT source ports across chassis slots.
- C. It is the default SNAT configuration and preserves active sessions when an FPC or FPM goes down.
- D. It dynamically distributes SNAT source ports to operating FPCs or FPMs.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Based on the configuration, the statement that is correct regarding SNAT source port partitioning behavior is that it statically distributes SNAT source ports to operating FPCs or FPMs. This is because the nat-source-port option is set to chassis-slots, which means that the FortiGate-6000 will allocate SNAT source ports to all FPCs or FPMs that are enabled when the command is entered. If an FPC or FPM is disabled from the CLI, the SNAT source ports assigned to that FPC or FPM will not be re-allocated to the remaining FPCs or FPMs. This option preserves active sessions when an FPC or FPM goes down, but does not dynamically re-distribute SNAT source ports if an FPC or FPM is powered off.

NEW QUESTION # 19
Refer to the exhibit.
You are deploying a FortiGate 6000F. The device should be directly connected to a switch. In the future, a new hardware module providing higher speed will be installed in the switch, and the connection to the FortiGate must be moved to this higher-speed port.
You must ensure that the initial FortiGate interface connected to the switch does not affect any other port when the new module is installed and the new port speed is defined.
How should the initial connection be made?
- A. Connect the switch on any interface between ports 1 to 4
- B. Connect the switch on any interface between ports 25 to 28
- C. Connect the switch on any interface between ports 5 to 8.
- D. Connect the switch on any interface between ports 21 to 24
Answer: D
Explanation:
The FortiGate 6000F is a high-performance firewall appliance that has 28 network interfaces with different speeds and types. The device should be directly connected to a switch that will have a new hardware module providing higher speed in the future. The connection to the FortiGate must be moved to this higher-speed port without affecting any other port. Therefore, the initial connection should be made on any interface between ports 21 to 24, which are 10G SFP+ interfaces. These interfaces are independent from each other and do not share bandwidth with any other interface. This means that moving the connection to a higher-speed port in the future will not affect any other port on the FortiGate. Option A shows the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because ports 25 to 28 are 40G QSFP+ interfaces, which share bandwidth with ports 21 to 24. Moving the connection to a higher-speed port in the future will affect the bandwidth of these ports. Option C is incorrect because ports 1 to 4 are 100G QSFP28 interfaces, which share bandwidth with ports 5 to 8 and ports 9 to 12. Moving the connection to a higher-speed port in the future will affect the bandwidth of these ports. Option D is incorrect because ports 5 to 8 are 25G SFP28 interfaces, which share bandwidth with ports 1 to 4 and ports 9 to 12. Moving the connection to a higher-speed port in the future will affect the bandwidth of these ports.

NEW QUESTION # 20
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. Devices connected directly to ports 3 and 4 can perform 802 1X authentication.
- B. Ports 3 and 4 can be part of different switch interfaces.
- C. FortiGate devices with NP6 and hardware switch interfaces cannot support 802.1X authentication.
- D. Client devices must have 802 1X authentication enabled
Answer: A,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 # 21
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. OCSP checks will always go to the configured FortiAuthenticator
- B. The OCSP check of the certificate can be combined with a certificate revocation list.
- C. If the OCSP server is unreachable, authentication will succeed if the certificate matches the CA.
- D. OCSP certificate responses are never cached by the FortiGate.
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
A is correct because the OCSP server is configured as the FortiAuthenticator in the config vpn certificate ocsp-server section. D is correct because the config vpn ssl settings section has set ocsp-option to allow. This means that if the OCSP server is unreachable, authentication will succeed if the certificate matches the CA. Reference: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.0.1/administration-guide/490351/ssl-vpn-authentication https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.4.0/administration-guide/266506/ssl-vpn-with-certificate-authentication
NEW QUESTION # 22
Refer to the exhibits.
An administrator has configured a FortiGate and Forti Authenticator for two-factor authentication with FortiToken push notifications for their SSL VPN login. Upon initial review of the setup, the administrator has discovered that the customers can manually type in their two-factor code and authenticate but push notifications do not work Based on the information given in the exhibits, what must be done to fix this?
- A. FAC-1 must have an internet routable IP address for push notifications.
- B. On FG-1 CLI, the ftm-push server setting must point to 100.64.141.
- C. On FG-1 port1, the ftm access protocol must be enabled.
- D. On FAC-1, the FortiToken public IP setting must point to 100.64.1 41
Answer: A
Explanation:
FortiToken push notifications require that the FortiAuthenticator has an internet routable IP address. This is because the FortiAuthenticator uses this IP address to send push notifications to the FortiGate.
The other options are not correct. Enabling the ftm access protocol on FG-1 port1 is not necessary for push notifications to work. The ftm-push server setting on FG-1 CLI should already point to the FortiAuthenticator's IP address. The FortiToken public IP setting on FAC-1 is not relevant to push notifications.
Here is a table that summarizes the different options:
NEW QUESTION # 23
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 D
- C. Option C
- D. Option A
Answer: A,C
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. Reference: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.4.0/cookbook/103438/application-detection-on-ssl-offloaded-traffic
NEW QUESTION # 24
You must analyze an event that happened at 20:37 UTC. One log relevant to the event is extracted from FortiGate logs:
The devices and the administrator are all located in different time zones Daylight savings time (DST) is disabled
* The FortiGate is at GMT-1000.
* The FortiAnalyzer is at GMT-0800
* Your browser local time zone is at GMT-03.00
You want to review this log on FortiAnalyzer GUI, what time should you use as a filter?
- A. 20:37:08
- B. 12.37:08
- C. 17:37:08
- D. 10:37:08
Answer: C
Explanation:
To review this log on FortiAnalyzer GUI, the administrator should use the time filter that matches the local time zone of FortiAnalyzer, which is GMT-0800. Since the log was generated at 20:37 UTC (GMT+0000), the corresponding time in GMT-0800 is 20:37 - 8 hours = 12:37. However, since DST is disabled on FortiAnalyzer, the administrator should add one hour to account for daylight saving time difference, resulting in 12:37 + 1 hour = 13:37. Therefore, the time filter to use is 13:37:08. References: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortianalyzer/6.4.0/administration-guide/103664/time-zone-and-daylight-saving-time
NEW QUESTION # 25
You are migrating the branches of a customer to FortiGate devices. They require independent routing tables on the LAN side of the network.
After reviewing the design, you notice the firewall will have many BGP sessions as you have two data centers (DC) and two ISPs per DC while each branch is using at least 10 internal segments.
Based on this scenario, what would you suggest as the more efficient solution, considering that in the future the number of internal segments, DCs or internet links per DC will increase?
- A. Implement network-id, neighbor-group and increase the advertisement-interval
- B. Acquire a FortiGate model with more capacity, considering the next 5 years growth.
- C. No change in design is needed as even small FortiGate devices have a large memory capacity.
- D. Redesign the SD-WAN deployment to only use a single VPN tunnel and segment traffic using VRFs on BGP
Answer: D
Explanation:
Using multiple VPN tunnels and BGP sessions for each internal segment is not scalable and efficient, especially when the number of segments, DCs or internet links per DC increases. A better solution is to use a single VPN tunnel per branch and segment traffic using virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instances on BGP. This way, each VRF can have its own routing table and BGP session, while sharing the same VPN tunnel.

You are creating the CLI script to be used on a new SD-WAN deployment You will have branches with a different number of internet connections and want to be sure there is no need to change the Performance SLA configuration in case more connections are added to the branch.
The current configuration is:
Which configuration do you use for the Performance SLA members?
- A. current configuration already fulfills the requirement
- B. set members any
- C. set members all
- D. set members 0
Answer: C
Explanation:
D is correct because using set members all allows you to apply the Performance SLA configuration to all available interfaces without specifying them individually. This way, you do not need to change the configuration in case more connections are added to the branch.

NEW QUESTION # 28
Refer to the exhibit showing an SD-WAN configuration.
According to the exhibit, if an internal user pings 10.1.100.2 and 10.1.100.22 from subnet 172.16.205.0/24, which outgoing interfaces will be used?
- A. port1 and port15
- B. port1 and port1
- C. port16 and port15
- D. port16 and port1
Answer: D
Explanation:
According to the exhibit, the SD-WAN configuration has two rules: one for traffic to 10.1.100.0/24 subnet, and one for traffic to 10.1.100.16/28 subnet. The first rule uses the best quality strategy, which selects the SD-WAN member with the best measured quality based on performance SLA metrics. The second rule uses the manual strategy, which specifies port1 as the SD-WAN member to select. Therefore, if an internal user pings 10.1.100.2 and 10.1.100.22 from subnet 172.16.205.0/24, the outgoing interfaces will be port16 and port1 respectively, assuming that port16 has the best quality among the SD-WAN members.

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 root FortiGate will only be synchronized to FGT__2.
- C. Objects from the FortiGate FGT_2 will be synchronized to the upstream FortiGate.
- D. Objects from the root FortiGate will not be synchronized to any downstream FortiGate.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The fabric-object-unification setting on FGT_2 is set to local, which means that objects will not be synchronized to any other FortiGate devices in the security fabric. The default setting for fabric-object-unification is default, which means that objects will be synchronized from the root FortiGate to all downstream FortiGate devices.
Since FGT_2 is not the root FortiGate and the fabric-object-unification setting is set to local, objects from the root FortiGate will not be synchronized to FGT_2.
