NEW QUESTION # 11
Refer to the exhibit.
You have been tasked with replacing the managed switch Forti Switch 2 shown in the topology.
Which two actions are correct regarding the replacement process? (Choose two.)
- A. After replacing the FortiSwitch unit, the automatically created trunk name does not change
- B. CLAG-ICL needs to be manually reconfigured once the new switch is connected to the FortiGate
- C. After replacing the FortiSwitch unit, the automatically created trunk name changes.
- D. MCLAG-ICL will be automatically reconfigured once the new switch is connected to the FortiGate.
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
A is correct because the automatically created trunk name is based on the MAC address of the FortiSwitch unit. When the FortiSwitch unit is replaced, the MAC address will change, but the trunk name will not change.
B is correct because CLAG-ICL is a manually configured link aggregation group. When the FortiSwitch unit is replaced, the CLAG-ICL configuration will need to be manually reconfigured on the new FortiSwitch unit.
The other options are incorrect. Option C is incorrect because the automatically created trunk name does not change when the FortiSwitch unit is replaced. Option D is incorrect because MCLAG-ICL is a manually configured link aggregation group and will not be automatically reconfigured when the FortiSwitch unit is replaced.

NEW QUESTION # 12
A customer with a FortiDDoS 200F protecting their fibre optic internet connection from incoming traffic sees that all the traffic was dropped by the device even though they were not under a DoS attack. The traffic flow was restored after it was rebooted using the GUI. Which two options will prevent this situation in the future? (Choose two)
- A. Replace with a FortiDDoS 1500F
- B. Change the Adaptive Mode.
- C. Move the internet connection from the SFP interfaces to the LC interfaces
- D. Create an HA setup with a second FortiDDoS 200F
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
To prevent the situation where all the traffic was dropped by the FortiDDoS 200F even though there was no DoS attack, the following options can be considered:
Change the Adaptive Mode. The Adaptive Mode is a feature that allows the FortiDDoS 200F to automatically adjust its detection and prevention thresholds based on the traffic patterns and behavior. However, if the Adaptive Mode is not configured properly, it may cause false positives and drop legitimate traffic. Therefore, changing the Adaptive Mode settings or disabling it may help to avoid this situation.
Create an HA setup with a second FortiDDoS 200F. The HA setup is a feature that allows two FortiDDoS 200F devices to work together as a cluster and provide redundancy and load balancing. If one device fails or drops traffic, the other device can take over and continue to protect the network. Therefore, creating an HA setup with a second FortiDDoS 200F may help to avoid this situation.

NEW QUESTION # 13
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 template will fail because this configuration can only be applied with a CLI or TCL script.
- C. The administrator must first manually map the interface for each device with a meta field.
- D. The template will work if you change the variable format to {{ WAN }}.
- E. The template will work if you change the variable format to $(WAN).
- F. The template will fail because this configuration can only be applied with a CLI or TCL script.
Answer: B,C
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 # 14
Refer to the exhibits.
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
Exhibit C
A customer is trying to set up a VPN with a FortiGate, but they do not have a backup of the configuration. Output during a troubleshooting session is shown in the exhibits A and B and a baseline VPN configuration is shown in Exhibit C Referring to the exhibits, which configuration will restore VPN connectivity?
- A.

- B.

- C.

- D.

Answer: A
Explanation:
The VPN configuration shown in Exhibit C is a baseline VPN configuration that uses IKEv2 with pre-shared keys and AES256 encryption for both IKE and ESP phases. However, this configuration does not match the output shown in Exhibit A and B, which indicate that IKEv1 is used with RSA signatures and AES128 encryption for both IKE and ESP phases. Therefore, to restore VPN connectivity, the configuration needs to be modified to match these parameters. Option B shows the correct configuration that matches these parameters. Option A is incorrect because it still uses IKEv2 instead of IKEv1. Option C is incorrect because it still uses pre-shared keys instead of RSA signatures. Option D is incorrect because it still uses AES256 encryption instead of AES128 encryption. Reference: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.0.0/cookbook/19662/ipsec-vpn-with-forticlient
NEW QUESTION # 15
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__2.
- B. Objects from the root FortiGate will only be synchronized to FGT_3.
- 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.

NEW QUESTION # 16
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 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
- B. 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.
- C. 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
- 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: B,C
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 # 17
Which two statements are correct on a FortiGate using the FortiGuard Outbreak Protection Service (VOS)? (Choose two.)
- A. The hash signatures are obtained from the FortiGuard Global Threat Intelligence database.
- B. The FortiGuard VOS can be used only with proxy-base policy inspections.
- C. If third-party AV database returns a match the scanned file is deemed to be malicious.
- D. The antivirus database queries FortiGuard with the hash of a scanned file
- E. The AV engine scan must be enabled to use the FortiGuard VOS feature
Answer: A,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. Reference: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.2.14/cookbook/968606/outbreak-prevention-service
NEW QUESTION # 18
You must configure an environment with dual-homed servers connected to a pair of FortiSwitch units using an MCLAG.
Multicast traffic is expected in this environment, and you should ensure unnecessary traffic is pruned from links that do not have a multicast listener.
In which two ways must you configure the igmps-f lood-traffic and igmps-flood-report settings? (Choose two.)
- A. enable on ICL trunks
- B. enable on the ISL and FortiLink trunks
- C. disable on ICL trunks
- D. disable on the ISL and FortiLink trunks
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
A is correct because disabling igmps-flood-traffic and igmps-flood-report on ICL trunks prevents unnecessary multicast traffic from being flooded across the MCLAG cluster members. C is correct because disabling igmps-flood-traffic and igmps-flood-report on the ISL and FortiLink trunks prevents unnecessary multicast traffic from being flooded to other switches or FortiGates that do not have multicast listeners. Reference: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortiswitches/6.4.0/administration-guide/381057/multicast-forwarding https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortiswitches/6.4.0/administration-guide/381057/multicast-forwarding/381058/configuring-multicast-forwarding
NEW QUESTION # 19
You want to use the MTA adapter feature on FortiSandbox in an HA-Cluster. Which statement about this solution is true?
- A. The MTA adapter mode is only detection mode.
- B. The configuration of the MTA Adapter Local Interface is different than on port1.
- C. The configuration is different than on a standalone device.
- D. The MTA adapter is only available in the primary node.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The MTA adapter feature on FortiSandbox is a feature that allows FortiSandbox to act as a mail transfer agent (MTA) that can receive, inspect, and forward email messages from external sources. The MTA adapter feature can be used to integrate FortiSandbox with third-party email security solutions that do not support direct integration with FortiSandbox, such as Microsoft Exchange Server or Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA). The MTA adapter feature can also be used to enhance email security by adding an additional layer of inspection and filtering before delivering email messages to the final destination. The MTA adapter feature can be enabled on FortiSandbox in an HA-Cluster, which is a configuration that allows two FortiSandbox units to synchronize their settings and data and provide high availability and load balancing for sandboxing services. However, one statement about this solution that is true is that the MTA adapter is only available in the primary node. This means that only one FortiSandbox unit in the HA-Cluster can act as an MTA and receive email messages from external sources, while the other unit acts as a backup node that can take over the MTA role if the primary node fails or loses connectivity. This also means that only one IP address or FQDN can be used to configure the external sources to send email messages to the FortiSandbox MTA, which is the IP address or FQDN of the primary node. References: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortisandbox/3.2.0/administration-guide/19662/mail-transfer-agent-mta https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortisandbox/3.2.0/administration-guide/19662/high-availability-ha
NEW QUESTION # 20
Refer to the CLI configuration of an SSL inspection profile from a FortiGate device configured to protect a web server:
Based on the information shown, what is the expected behavior when an HTTP/2 request comes in?
- A. FortiGate will reject all HTTP/2 ALPN headers.
- B. FortiGate will strip the ALPN header and forward the traffic.
- C. FortiGate will forward the traffic without modifying the ALPN header.
- D. FortiGate will rewrite the ALPN header to request HTTP/1.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The supported-alpn parameter is set to http1.1 in the SSL inspection profile. This means that the FortiGate will only accept HTTP/1.1 traffic. Any HTTP/2 traffic will be rejected.
The following is the relevant documentation from Fortinet:
The supported-alpn parameter specifies the list of ALPN protocols that the FortiGate will accept. If the client requests a protocol that is not in this list, the FortiGate will reject the connection.
The default value for the supported-alpn parameter is all. This means that the FortiGate will accept any ALPN protocol that the client requests.
To reject all HTTP/2 traffic, set the supported-alpn parameter to http1.1.

NEW QUESTION # 21
Refer to the exhibits, which show a firewall policy configuration and a network topology.
An administrator has configured an inbound SSL inspection profile on a FortiGate device (FG-1) that is protecting a data center hosting multiple web pages-Given the scenario shown in the exhibits, which certificate will FortiGate use to handle requests to xyz.com?
- A. FortiGate will reject the connection since no certificate is defined.
- B. FortiGate will use the first certificate in the server-cert list-the abc.com certificate
- C. FortiGate will fall-back to the default Fortinet_CA_SSL certificate.
- D. FortiGate will use the Fortinet_CA_Untrusted certificate for the untrusted connection,
Answer: C
Explanation:
When using inbound SSL inspection, FortiGate needs to present a certificate to the client that matches the requested domain name. If no matching certificate is found in the server-cert list, FortiGate will fall-back to the default Fortinet_CA_SSL certificate, which is self-signed and may trigger a warning on the client browser. References: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.4.0/cookbook/103437/inbound-ssl-inspection
NEW QUESTION # 22
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 work if you change the variable format to {{ WAN }}.
- E. The template will fail because this configuration can only be applied with a CLI or TCL script.
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
The Jinja template will not automatically map the interface with "WAN" role on the managed FortiGate. The administrator must first manually map the interface for each device with a meta field.
The template will work if you change the variable format to {{ WAN }}. The {{ }} syntax is used to define a variable in a Jinja template.
NEW QUESTION # 23
Refer to the exhibit showing a firewall policy configuration.
To prevent unauthorized access of their cloud assets, an administrator wants to enforce authentication on firewall policy ID 1.
What change does the administrator need to make?
- A.

- B.

- C.

- D.

Answer: D
Explanation:
The firewall policy in the exhibit allows all traffic from the internal network to the cloud. To enforce authentication on this traffic, the administrator needs to add the auth-on-demand option to the policy. This option will force all users to authenticate before they are allowed to access the cloud.
The following is the correct configuration:
config firewall policy
edit 1
set srcintf "internal"
set dstintf "wan1"
set srcaddr "all"
set dstaddr "all"
set service "all"
set action accept
set auth-on-demand enable

NEW QUESTION # 24
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. Acquire a FortiGate model with more capacity, considering the next 5 years growth.
- B. No change in design is needed as even small FortiGate devices have a large memory capacity.
- C. Implement network-id, neighbor-group and increase the advertisement-interval
- 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.

NEW QUESTION # 25
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 is the default SNAT configuration and preserves active sessions when an FPC or FPM goes down.
- C. It dynamically distributes SNAT source ports to operating FPCs or FPMs.
- D. It equally distributes SNAT source ports across chassis slots.
Answer: C
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 # 26
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. Client devices must have 802 1X authentication enabled
- C. Ports 3 and 4 can be part of different switch interfaces.
- D. FortiGate devices with NP6 and hardware switch interfaces cannot support 802.1X authentication.
Answer: A,B
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.
