Question 3

Which THREE items can be managed via Device Templates in FortiManager?

Accepted Answer

NTP configuration. Device templates are used for system-level settings like DNS, NTP, and local interface configurations.

Answer

Firewall policies

Answer

Application control databases

Question 4

You are configuring an IPsec VPN tunnel between two FortiGates. Phase 2 fails to come up. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

Mismatched Phase 2 selectors. Phase 2 failure is usually due to mismatched selectors (proxy IDs) or mismatched encryption/authentication algorithms.

Answer

Incorrect IKE version

Answer

Expired certificate

Answer

Mismatched pre-shared key

Question 5

In a complex VPN scenario with NAT-Traversal (NAT-T) enabled, what is the primary purpose of the UDP 4500 port?

Accepted Answer

To encapsulate ESP packets. NAT-T encapsulates ESP packets in UDP 4500 to allow them to pass through NAT devices that would otherwise break ESP integrity.

Answer

To replace the AH protocol

Answer

To manage Phase 1 re-keying

Answer

To verify certificate revocation status

Question 6

What is the primary purpose of an ADOM in FortiManager?

Accepted Answer

To logically group devices for delegated administration and policy management. Administrative Domains (ADOMs) allow the segregation of managed devices based on geography, customer, or business unit for delegated administration.

Answer

To provide high availability for the FortiGate

Answer

To allow external API access to the FortiGate

Answer

To increase the storage capacity of the FortiManager

Question 7

Which TWO types of reports can be generated in the FortiAnalyzer module of FortiManager?

Accepted Answer

IPS signature exclusion

Question 9

You need to inspect traffic between two internal VLANs. How do you ensure this traffic is processed by the FortiGate?

Accepted Answer

Configure firewall policies between the VLAN interfaces. Since VLANs are logical interfaces, the FortiGate will act as a gateway if the devices are configured to use the FortiGate's IP as their default gateway.

Answer

Enable hardware switching

Answer

Set the firewall mode to Transparent

Answer

Enable inter-VLAN routing on the switches only

Question 10

Which TWO options are available when configuring an SD-WAN rule in FortiManager?
