Start Security And VPN PracticeIn an OSPF setup, you have a redundant path. You want to ensure traffic prefers one link over another based on cost. Which OSPF command is used?
Explanation: The OSPF cost is configured on the interface level to influence link preference.
In a BGP deployment, your FortiGate is receiving routes from two different ISPs. You want to influence outbound traffic to prefer ISP1 for specific destinations. Which BGP attribute should you modify?
Explanation: Local Preference is a well-known BGP attribute used within an autonomous system to influence outbound path selection. A higher local preference value makes a route preferred, so setting a higher local preference for routes learned from ISP1 causes the FortiGate to prefer ISP1 for those destinations. It is propagated only within the local AS, which is exactly the scope needed here.
Which FortiGate feature allows you to bypass SSL inspection for specific known-trusted websites to maintain user privacy?
Explanation: The URL Filter category exemption allows administrators to bypass SSL inspection for specific URL categories that are considered trusted, such as financial or healthcare sites, to maintain user privacy and comply with regulations. This is configured in the SSL inspection profile by exempting certain categories from deep inspection.
You are troubleshooting a high CPU issue on a FortiGate. Which utility should you use to identify which process is consuming the most resources?
Explanation: The 'get system performance status' command is the primary tool to see process-level CPU usage.
In a site-to-site VPN, you need to allow traffic initiated from the remote site. What configuration is essential on the local FortiGate?
Explanation: To allow traffic initiated from the remote site to the local internal network, a firewall policy on the local FortiGate must permit traffic from the VPN zone (where the IPSec tunnel terminates) to the Internal zone. This policy defines the allowed source and destination addresses and services.
