Correct answer & explanation
✓
External port: 443, Mapped port: 8080, Destination: 10.0.1.100
For ZTNA access proxy, the external port is the port clients connect to (typically 443 for HTTPS), and the mapped port is the internal server port (8080). The destination is the internal server IP. Therefore, option D is correct: external port 443, mapped port 8080, destination 10.0.1.100.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
External port: 0, Mapped port: 8080, Destination: 10.0.1.100
Why it's wrong here
External port cannot be 0.
- ✗
External port: 8080, Mapped port: 443, Destination: 10.0.1.100
Why it's wrong here
This would reverse the ports incorrectly.
- ✗
External port: 443, Mapped port: 443, Destination: 10.0.1.100
Why it's wrong here
This would assume the server listens on 443, but the scenario says 8080.
- ✓
External port: 443, Mapped port: 8080, Destination: 10.0.1.100
Why this is correct
The client connects to the FortiGate on port 443, and the FortiGate forwards to the internal server on port 8080.
