Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Create 50 separate ADOMs

    Why it's wrong here

    This creates excessive administrative overhead.

  • Assign devices to a Device Group and push a common Policy Package

    Why this is correct

    Device groups enable bulk management.

  • Connect to each FortiGate via SSH and run scripts

    Why it's wrong here

    This does not leverage FortiManager's centralized capabilities.

  • Enable 'Auto-Push' for every change

    Why it's wrong here

    Auto-push can cause instability if not tested.
