Show AnswerHide Answer
Correct Answer: C
The provided FortiGate-6000 configuration command 'set nat-source-port chassis-slots' indicates that SNAT source ports are statically distributed to the operating FPCs or FPMs. This means that when the configuration is executed, each FPC or FPM is assigned a specific range of SNAT source ports, and these assignments do not change dynamically. If an FPC or FPM is disabled, the SNAT source ports assigned to it are not reallocated to the other FPCs or FPMs, maintaining the static distribution. Therefore, the behavior described in option C is accurate.

Jul 17, 2024"chassis-slots this option statically allocates SNAT source ports to all FPCs that are enabled when you enter the command. If you disable an FPC from the CLI, the SNAT source ports assigned to that FPC will not be re-allocated to the remaining FPCs. All FPCs that are still operating will maintain the same SNAT source port allocation and active sessions being processed by the still operating FPCs will not be affected."
