Question 1 of 62

Which of the following Fortinet hardware accelerators can be used to offload flow-based antivirus inspection? (Choose two.)

A.

SP3

B.

CP8

C.

NP4

D.

NP6

Correct Answer: AB

In Fortinet devices, hardware accelerators such as the Content Processor (CP) series, including CP8, are designed to offload security processing tasks like flow-based antivirus inspection to enhance performance. The SP3 hardware accelerator can also be used for similar offloading tasks, providing specialized processing capabilities to improve throughput and reduce latency.

Question 2 of 62

An administrator needs to offload logging to FortiAnalyzer from a FortiGate with an internal hard drive. Which statements are true? (Choose two.)

A.

Logs must be stored on FortiGate first, before transmitting to FortiAnalyzer

B.

FortiGate uses port 8080 for log transmission

C.

Log messages are transmitted as plain text in LZ4 compressed format (store-and-upload method).

D.

FortiGate can encrypt communications using SSL encrypted OFTP traffic.

Correct Answer: CD

Log messages are transmitted as plain text in LZ4 compressed format, and FortiGate can encrypt communications using SSL encrypted OFTP traffic to ensure secure transmission of log data to FortiAnalyzer. This makes options C and D correct as they align with the typical methods and security protocols used in transmitting log data from FortiGate to FortiAnalyzer.

Question 3 of 62

An administrator observes that the port1 interface cannot be configured with an IP address. What can be the reasons for that? (Choose three.)

A.

The interface has been configured for one-arm sniffer.

B.

The interface is a member of a virtual wire pair.

C.

The operation mode is transparent.

D.

The interface is a member of a zone.

E.

Captive portal is enabled in the interface.

Correct Answer: ABC

The interface cannot be configured with an IP address if it is set up for one-arm sniffer because this mode is used for network traffic analysis and does not require an IP address. If the interface is a member of a virtual wire pair, it acts as a transparent bridge and does not need an IP address. When the operation mode is transparent, the device operates at Layer 2, meaning it forwards packets without needing an IP address assigned to its interfaces.

Question 4 of 62

View the example routing table.

Which route will be selected when trying to reach 10.20.30.254?

A.

10.20.30.0/26 [10/0] via 172.20.168.254, port2

B.

The traffic will be dropped because it cannot be routed.

C.

10.20.30.0/24 [10/0] via 172.20.167.254, port3

D.

0.0.0.0/0 [10/0] via 172.20.121.2, port1

Correct Answer: C

C

Question 5 of 62

What FortiGate feature can be used to allow IPv6 clients to connect to IPv4 servers?

A.

IPv6-over-IPv4 IPsec

B.

NAT64

C.

IPv4-over-IPv6 IPsec

D.

NAT66

Correct Answer: B

NAT64 is a feature that allows IPv6 clients to connect to IPv4 servers. It translates IPv6 addresses to IPv4 addresses, enabling communication between the two different IP versions. This is particularly useful in environments where IPv4 is still widely used, but there are clients operating on IPv6.
