NEW QUESTION # 14
What are source and destination MAC addresses of an ARP request?
- A. The source MAC is that of the sending device and the destination is a multicast address
- B. The source MAC is that of the sending device and the destination of the targeted device
- C. The source MAC is that of the sending device and the destination MAC is a broadcast address
- D. The source MAC is that of the forwarding switch and destination of the targeted device
Answer: C
Explanation:
An ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) request is broadcast to resolve an IP address to a MAC address. The source MAC is the sender's MAC address, and the destination MAC is the broadcast address (FF:FF:FF:FF:
FF:FF) to reach all devices on the local network. Fortinet devices handle ARP for Layer 2 communication.
Options B, C, and D are incorrect as switches don't originate ARP requests, the target's MAC is unknown, and ARP uses broadcast, not multicast. Exact extract: "In an ARP request, the source MAC address is that of the sending device, and the destination MAC address is the broadcast address (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF), sent to all devices in the local network segment."
NEW QUESTION # 15
In Active FTP who sends the PORT command?
- A. The FTP Client
- B. There is no PORT command in Active FTP
- C. The FTP Server
- D. Both
Answer: A
Explanation:
In Active FTP, the client sends the PORT command to the server, specifying an ephemeral port for the server to initiate the data connection back to the client. This distinguishes Active FTP from Passive FTP, where the server provides the port. The server does not send PORT, and the command is a key part of Active FTP. Exact extract: "In Active FTP, the client sends a PORT command to the server, specifying the IP address and port number for the data connection... The server then initiates the data connection to the client's specified port."
NEW QUESTION # 16
Which FortiGate feature allows inspection of encrypted SSL/TLS traffic?
- A. SSL Inspection
- B. Web Filtering
- C. Deep Packet Inspection
- D. Application Control
Answer: A
Explanation:
FortiGate's SSL Inspection feature decrypts and inspects SSL/TLS traffic to detect threats or enforce policies, using techniques like full SSL inspection or certificate inspection. Deep Packet Inspection (A) is a broader term, Application Control (C) identifies apps, and Web Filtering (D) blocks URLs, not specific to SSL. Exact extract: "SSL Inspection allows FortiGate to decrypt and inspect SSL/TLS traffic to detect hidden threats or enforce security policies, supporting full or certificate-based inspection."
NEW QUESTION # 17
A firewall receives an out-of-order packet in a TCP session after the FIN/ACK and the packet is dropped as expected. What parameter can be changed to prevent such drops?
- A. TCPMSS
- B. TCP close-wait timer
- C. Enable TCP option
- D. TCP time-wait timer
Answer: D
Explanation:
Out-of-order packets after FIN/ACK indicate a packet arriving in the TIME_WAIT state, where the session is closing. The TCP time-wait timer controls how long the firewall keeps the session in the TIME_WAIT state to handle late packets. Increasing this timer allows the firewall to accept such packets instead of dropping them. Close-wait timer relates to a different state, TCPMSS affects packet size, and "Enable TCP option" is not a standard parameter. Exact extract: "The TCP time-wait timer determines how long a session remains in the TIME_WAIT state to handle out-of-order or retransmitted packets after FIN/ACK... Adjusting this timer can prevent drops of late-arriving packets."
NEW QUESTION # 18
Link aggregation allows network devices to________
- A. Restrict the bandwidth
- B. Increase bandwidth of an interface
- C. Increase bandwidth by binding physical interfaces into a single channel
- D. None of the above
Answer: C
Explanation:
Link aggregation, also known as IEEE 802.3ad or 802.1ax, enables the binding of multiple physical interfaces to form a single logical interface, which increases the overall bandwidth and provides redundancy. This is achieved by combining the bandwidth of the individual links into one aggregated link. For example, if two
1Gbps interfaces are aggregated, the logical link can provide up to 2Gbps bandwidth. This configuration is commonly used in FortiGate devices to enhance network performance without replacing hardware. The option B correctly describes this by stating "Increase bandwidth by binding physical interfaces into a single channel," which aligns with the official description. Incorrect options include A, which is vague and does not specify the method of binding multiple interfaces; C, which is the opposite of the purpose; and D, which is invalid.
Exact extract: Link aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad/802.1ax) enables you to bind two or more physical interfaces together to form an aggregated (combined) link. This new link ... Link aggregation combines multiple physical interfaces into a single logical interface, increasing bandwidth and link redundancy. Traffic is distributed evenly.
NEW QUESTION # 19
Which protocols are used by an email client to retrieve emails?
- A. IMAP4
- B. SMTP
- C. POP3
- D. SNMP
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
Email clients use POP3 (Post Office Protocol) and IMAP4 (Internet Message Access Protocol) to retrieve emails from a server. POP3 downloads emails and typically removes them from the server, while IMAP4 allows synchronized access. SMTP is used for sending emails, and SNMP is for network monitoring, not email retrieval. Exact extract: "Email clients use POP3 or IMAP to retrieve email messages from a mail server... IMAP allows users to access and manage email directly on the server, while POP3 typically downloads messages to the client."
NEW QUESTION # 20
Hybrid cloud means that
- A. Some of the customer's systems are virtualized in the public cloud and some are in the local datacenter
- B. The cloud provider uses AMD, Intel and possibly also other CPU vendors
- C. Cloud provider provides both 32-bit and 64-bit virtual machines
- D. One customer uses VMs with multiple different operating systems in the same cloud account
Answer: A
Explanation:
A hybrid cloud combines on-premises infrastructure (local datacenter) with public cloud resources, allowing workloads to operate across both environments for flexibility and scalability. Fortinet solutions like FortiGate- VM support hybrid cloud deployments. Option A refers to hardware diversity, C to OS variety, and D to architecture types, none of which define hybrid cloud. Exact extract: "Hybrid cloud is the combination of public cloud services with an on-premises private cloud or datacenter... This allows customers to run some systems in the public cloud and others in their local datacenter, managed seamlessly."

What is the role of the FortiGate 'set srcintf' command in a firewall policy?
- A. Defines the destination interface for traffic
- B. Sets the source IP address range
- C. Configures the source NAT interface
- D. Specifies the source interface for traffic matching
Answer: D
Explanation:
The 'set srcintf' command in a FortiGate firewall policy specifies the source interface from which traffic originates, helping define the policy's scope. It does not set the destination interface (B), source IP range (C), or NAT interface (D). Exact extract: "The 'set srcintf' command in a firewall policy specifies the source interface for incoming traffic, allowing FortiGate to match packets based on their entry interface."
NEW QUESTION # 22
Which of the following protocols operates at Layer 4
- A. ARP
- B. OSPF
- C. BGP
- D. IPSEC
Answer: D
Explanation:
IPsec operates at Layer 4 (Transport Layer) in the OSI model, providing secure communication via protocols like ESP and AH, which work with TCP or UDP. BGP and OSPF are Layer 3 (Network Layer) routing protocols, and ARP operates at Layer 2 (Data Link Layer). Fortinet's FortiGate uses IPsec for VPNs at Layer
4. Exact extract: "IPsec operates at the Transport Layer (Layer 4) to secure communications, encapsulating TCP or UDP packets... BGP and OSPF function at the Network Layer, while ARP resolves IP to MAC addresses at the Data Link Layer."
NEW QUESTION # 23
How many layers does the OSI Model contain?
- A. 0
- B. 1
- C. 2
- D. 3
Answer: B
Explanation:
The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model consists of seven layers: Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, and Application. This framework is used in Fortinet documentation to explain protocol operations. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the standard OSI model.
Exact extract: "The OSI model defines seven layers for network communication: 1. Physical, 2. Data Link, 3.
Network, 4. Transport, 5. Session, 6. Presentation, 7. Application."

NEW QUESTION # 25
In FortiGate, what is the purpose of a Virtual IP (VIP)?
- A. To assign a secondary IP to a physical interface
- B. To create a virtual interface for VLANs
- C. To map an external IP to an internal IP for NAT
- D. To enable load balancing for VPN tunnels
Answer: C
Explanation:
A Virtual IP (VIP) in FortiGate maps an external IP address to an internal IP for Destination NAT (DNAT), commonly used for accessing internal servers from external networks. It is not for VLANs (B), secondary IPs (C), or VPN load balancing (D). Exact extract: "Virtual IPs (VIPs) are used for Destination NAT, mapping an external IP address to an internal IP to allow external access to internal resources, such as servers."
NEW QUESTION # 26
Which of the following protocols would you expect a typical switch to support?
- A. OSPF
- B. SIP
- C. STP
- D. VLAN
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
Typical Layer 2 switches support STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) to prevent loops in redundant networks and VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) to segment traffic logically. OSPF is a Layer 3 routing protocol typically on routers, and SIP is for VoIP session initiation, not core switch functions. FortiSwitch supports STP variants like MSTP and VLAN tagging. Exact extract: MSTP supports multiple spanning tree instances, where each instance carries traffic for one or more VLANs (the mapping of VLANs to instances is configurable). These protocols include the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), and Per-VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol ( ... FortiSwitch supports Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), and Per-VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP).
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a link-management protocol to enable a layer 2 loop-free topology. STP enables a network to have redundant paths for fault ... Go to WiFi & Switch Controller > FortiSwitch Ports.

NEW QUESTION # 27
Which command would you use to verify the status of an IPsec VPN tunnel on a FortiGate?
- A. diagnose vpn tunnel list
- B. show crypto ipsec sa
- C. diagnose ipsec status
- D. get vpn ipsec status
Answer: A
Explanation:
The 'diagnose vpn tunnel list' command on FortiGate displays detailed status information about IPsec VPN tunnels, including phase 1 and phase 2 states, uptime, and traffic statistics. Options B, C, and D are not valid FortiGate commands for this purpose. Exact extract: "Use diagnose vpn tunnel list to view the status of IPsec VPN tunnels, including phase 1 and phase 2 details, such as SA status, uptime, and traffic counters."
NEW QUESTION # 28
Which FortiGate feature allows for dynamic routing protocol updates to be propagated through an IPsec VPN tunnel?
- A. Dynamic Routing Gateway
- B. Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF)
- C. Route-based VPN
- D. Auto Discovery VPN (ADVPN)
Answer: D
Explanation:
Auto Discovery VPN (ADVPN) in FortiGate enables dynamic routing protocols (e.g., OSPF, BGP) to propagate updates through IPsec VPN tunnels by automatically creating shortcut paths between spokes. This simplifies configuration and enhances scalability in hub-and-spoke topologies. Route-based VPN (D) supports routing but not dynamic discovery, VRF (C) is for segmentation, and Dynamic Routing Gateway (B) is not a standard Fortinet feature. Exact extract: "ADVPN allows dynamic routing protocols to be used over IPsec VPN tunnels, enabling spokes to discover and communicate directly via shortcuts, improving efficiency in hub-and-spoke setups."
NEW QUESTION # 29
What does the below route indicate?
- A. The device does not know the destination
- B. The destination network can be reached via any gates
- C. The destination network is locally connected on that interface
- D. It is a dummy route in the routing table
Answer: C
Explanation:
A route with a directly connected interface (no gateway) indicates the destination network is locally attached to that interface on the FortiGate. This is common for networks directly connected to the device's interfaces.
Option A is vague, B is incorrect as it's not a dummy route, and D suggests an unknown route, which isn't the case. Exact extract: "A directly connected route indicates that the destination network is locally attached to the interface specified in the routing table... No gateway is required for such routes as the FortiGate is directly connected to the network."
NEW QUESTION # 30
Which statement is true about IPsec VPNs and SSL VPNs?
- A. Either a SSL VPN or an IPsec VPN can be established between an end-user workstation and a FortiGate device
- B. Both SSL VPNs and IPsec VPNs are standard protocols
- C. All of the above
- D. SSL VPN creates a HTTPS connection. IPsec does not
Answer: C
Explanation:
Both SSL VPN and IPsec VPN are standard protocols supported by FortiGate devices for secure remote access. SSL VPN typically uses HTTPS (TCP port 443) for encrypted communication, while IPsec uses protocols like IKE and ESP. Both can be configured between an end-user workstation (e.g., via FortiClient) and a FortiGate device, supporting various authentication methods. All options are correct, making D the correct answer. Exact extract: "SSL VPN technology uses the standard SSL/TLS protocol to provide a secure connection to the FortiGate unit. The FortiGate SSL VPN can be configured to use HTTPS..." and "IPsec VPNs use standardized protocols like IKE and ESP to create secure tunnels... FortiClient supports both IPsec and SSL VPN connections to FortiGate devices for remote access."
NEW QUESTION # 31
What happens when a FortiGate's CPU enters conserve mode?
- A. New sessions are dropped
- B. All traffic is blocked
- C. Routing protocols are disabled
- D. Proxy-based inspection is disabled
Answer: D
Explanation:
When a FortiGate's CPU enters conserve mode due to high load, proxy-based inspection (e.g., web filtering, DLP) is disabled to reduce resource usage, while flow-based inspection continues. Traffic isn't fully blocked (A), new sessions may still be processed (C), and routing protocols (D) are unaffected. Exact extract: "In conserve mode, FortiGate disables proxy-based inspection to reduce CPU and memory load, switching to flow-based inspection to maintain performance."
NEW QUESTION # 32
In a FortiGate high availability (HA) cluster, what happens if the primary unit fails?
- A. The cluster switches to active-passive mode
- B. The cluster is disabled, and traffic stops
- C. Traffic is rerouted through an external gateway
- D. A secondary unit takes over as the primary unit
Answer: D
Explanation:
In a FortiGate HA cluster (active-active or active-passive), if the primary unit fails, a secondary unit automatically takes over as the primary, ensuring continuity of traffic with minimal disruption. Option A is incorrect as traffic continues, C is incorrect as the mode doesn't change post-failure, and D is unrelated. Exact extract: "In a FortiGate HA cluster, if the primary unit fails, a secondary unit is elected as the new primary, taking over all roles to maintain traffic flow and session continuity."
NEW QUESTION # 33
Which Router in an OSPF Domain sends a Type-4 Summary LSA
- A. ABR
- B. Stub Routers only
- C. ASBR
- D. All OSPF Routers
Answer: A
Explanation:
In OSPF, the Area Border Router (ABR) generates Type-4 Summary LSAs to advertise the location of an Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) to other areas. This LSA informs routers in different areas how to reach the ASBR for external routes. ASBR generates Type-5 LSAs for external routes, but ABR summarizes them with Type-4. Not all routers or stub routers do this. Exact extract: This article describes the basic steps to configure FortiGates in an OSPF scenario where the FortiGates will be ABR and ASBR OSPF routers across 3 areas. Router3 is the Autonomous System Border Router (ASBR). It routes all traffic to the ISP BGP router for internet access. It redistributes routes from BGP and ... Type 4 LSAs exist to let the area know the router-id of the ASBR, so the routers can look at the type 5 route, find advertising-router, and map
... An ASBR summary LSA is generated by an ABR and describes the location of an ASBR (Autonomous System Boundary Router) that connects to an external network. The FortiGate in the middle shall be a ABR between the two areas. But I don't want R2 in area 0.0.0.0 to have every /32 route for every VPN client. So I tried ...
NEW QUESTION # 34
How does a stateful firewall control a TCP session?
- A. TCP source ports are used to control the session
- B. TCP destination ports are used to control the session
- C. TCP ack numbers are used to control the session
- D. TCP sequence numbers and TCP flags are used to control the session
Answer: D
Explanation:
A stateful firewall, like FortiGate, tracks TCP sessions by maintaining a state table that includes TCP sequence numbers and flags (e.g., SYN, ACK, FIN) to monitor the connection's lifecycle (establishment, data transfer, termination). This ensures proper session handling, detecting out-of-order packets or invalid states.
Source and destination ports identify the session but don't control its state, and ACK numbers alone are insufficient. Exact extract: "Stateful inspection tracks TCP sessions using sequence numbers and TCP flags (SYN, ACK, FIN, etc.) to ensure packets are valid and part of an established session... FortiGate maintains a state table to monitor the TCP connection states."
