Free Practice Questions for Fortinet FCP_FGT_AD-7.4 Exam

FortiGate supports both pre-shared key and certificate signature methods for IKEv1 authentication. These methods provide flexibility depending on the security requirements of the network. Additionally, FortiGate supports Extended Authentication (XAuth), which requests a username and password from the remote peer, enhancing security by adding an extra layer of authentication. The XAuth method does not necessarily make the authentication faster; it is an additional security measure.

Strict RPF (Reverse Path Forwarding) check ensures that the packet is received on the same interface that the FortiGate device would use to send traffic back to the source. It verifies that the best route to the source of the packet is through the same interface it arrived on, enhancing security by preventing IP spoofing. If the check fails, the packet is dropped.

The debug output indicates that FortiGate connected to one server (173.243.141.16) to retrieve contract information as it shows four FortiGuard requests without any packet loss, which confirms the connection to the server. Additionally, the default FortiGuard communication settings are being used, as indicated by the use of the HTTPS protocol on port 443, which is the default setting for FortiGuard connections.

Enable NAT on the Allow_access firewall policy (A):

The Allow_access firewall policy must have NAT enabled to allow the webserver to use its VIP external IP address (10.200.1.10) as the source NAT when initiating traffic, such as pings, to the remote server.

Disable port forwarding on the VIP object (D):

Port forwarding is designed for specific port mapping, typically for services like HTTP or HTTPS. To use the VIP external IP as a source NAT, port forwarding should be disabled. Disabling port forwarding ensures that the full VIP IP address is used without being tied to specific ports.

Why other options are not correct:

B. Create a new firewall policy before Internet_Access for the webserver and apply the IP pool:

This is unnecessary as the VIP object itself is used for SNAT in this case, and an additional firewall policy is not required.

C. Disable NAT on the Internet_Access firewall policy:

Disabling NAT on this policy would prevent the NAT functionality needed for the webserver to use the VIP external IP address as the source IP.

Thus, enabling NAT on the Allow_access policy and disabling port forwarding on the VIP configuration are the valid steps to achieve the goal.

This syntax targets the main domain, which is a common way to configure a web rating override for the home page of a website.

This syntax also correctly targets the main domain without specifying a subdomain (like "www"), which is valid for configuring a web rating override for the entire site, including the home page.

"After the initial synchronization is complete, whenever a change is made to the configuration of an HA cluster device (primary or secondary), incremental synchronization sends the same configuration change to all other cluster devices over the HA heartbeat link"

If there are high-CPU use problems caused by the IPS, you can use the diagnose test application ipsmonitor command with option 5 to isolate where the problem might be. Option 5 enables IPS bypass mode. In this mode, the IPS engine is still running, but it is not inspecting traffic. If the CPU use decreases after that, it usually indicates that the volume of traffic being inspected is too high for that FortiGate model.
