NSE4_FGT-7.0 Exam - Question 21


Refer to the exhibit, which contains a session list output.

Based on the information shown in the exhibit, which statement is true?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AD

The information in the session list output indicates that multiple connections from the source IP address 10.0.1.10 are being translated to the same NAT IP address (10.200.1.6) with different source ports. This is a characteristic of an overload NAT IP pool, where Port Address Translation (PAT) is used to allow multiple devices on a local network to be mapped to a single public IP address but with a different port number for each session. Since source ports are translated and are different for each session, this shows that an overload NAT IP pool is being used in the firewall policy.

I may be missing something? Wouldn't it be Overload because of the numerous ports used in Source-NAT?

In the one-to-one pool type, an internal IP address is mapped with an external address on a first-come, firstserved basis. There is a single mapping of an internal address to an external address. Mappings are not fixed and, if there are no more addresses available, a connection will be refused. Also, in one-to-one, PAT is not required. In the example on this slide, you can see the same source port is shown for both the ingress and egress address.

is this correct ?

Yes, the port translation shows it's not PAT, therefore it's one to one

i tested this now in firewall. both A and C are correct. they show the similar output when i checked the session table. always do the lab and verify.

A and C would have been correct only if the port of the source remained same through the http and https connection

A "one-to-one" is correct, See FortiGate Security 7.0 Study Guide P.164 "In one-to-one NAT, PAT is not required. Same source port is shown for both the ingress and egress address called also a single mapping of an internal to a external address"

A. One-to-one NAT IP pool is used in the firewall policy. Reference and download study guide: https://ebin.pub/fortinet-fortigate-security-study-guide-for-fortios-72.html

since all packets have the same source IP (10.0.1.10), one-to-one NAT should behave the same as an overload pool since there's no need to apply PAT or share the pool. I think the only fact we're sure about is that there is no DNAT...

Actually this question appear to me very strange. Answers A,C,D have the same same session table as the one showed, it is not possible to say one-to-one so easy, since, you can configure SNAT overload with preserve source port. One thing, no destination NAT IP is showed, this means any VIP is configured in the firewall policy and this means is something "disabled" in such policy, even if I admit is a bit stretched thought.
