Refer to the exhibits, which show the system performance output and the default configuration of high memory usage thresholds in a FortiGate.
Based on the system performance output, what can be the two possible outcomes? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer:BC
Based on the system performance output provided, the memory usage on the FortiGate device is at 90%, which is above the green threshold (82%) but below the red threshold (88%). Given this high memory usage, the FortiGate device will enter "conserve mode" to prevent further resource exhaustion. In conserve mode:
B. FortiGate has entered conserve mode: When the memory usage reaches or exceeds certain thresholds (in this case, the green and red thresholds), the FortiGate enters conserve mode to protect itself from running out of memory entirely. This mode limits some functionalities to reduce memory usage and avoid a potential system crash. D. Administrators can access FortiGate only through the console port: During conserve mode, administrative access might be restricted, and administrators may only be able to connect to the device via the console port. This restriction is in place to ensure that the FortiGate can be managed directly, even under low resource conditions.
The other options are not correct: A. FortiGate will start sending all files to FortiSandbox for inspection: This is unrelated to memory usage and conserve mode. C. Administrators cannot change the configuration: While access may be limited, configuration changes can still be made via the console port.

In the network shown in the exhibit, the web client cannot connect to the HTTP web server. The administrator runs the FortiGate built-in sniffer and gets the output as shown in the exhibit.
What should the administrator do next to troubleshoot the problem?
Correct Answer:D
The next step for troubleshooting the problem would be to execute a debug flow on the FortiGate. The debug flow command provides detailed insights into how FortiGate handles the traffic, including whether the traffic is being dropped, allowed, or forwarded to the correct interface. It helps in identifying issues like firewall policy misconfigurations, routing issues, or NAT problems.
• A. Run a sniffer on the web server: While this might help diagnose server-side issues, the initial focus should be on the FortiGate, as the problem might lie in the firewall configuration or traffic handling.
• B. Capture the traffic using an external sniffer connected to port1: This may provide packetlevel information, but it's more useful to first analyze FortiGate's internal decision-making process with a debug flow.
• C. Execute another sniffer in the FortiGate, this time with the filter ??host 10.0.1.10??: Running a sniffer on the specific host might give more packet details, but the debug flow provides more comprehensive information on how the firewall processes the packets.
Thus, using the debug flow will offer a more direct understanding of how the traffic is being processed or
blocked within FortiGate.

FortiGate has two separate firewall policies for Sales and Engineering to access the same web server with the same security profiles.
Which action must the administrator perform to consolidate the two policies into one?
Correct Answer:B
To consolidate the two separate firewall policies for Sales and Engineering departments accessing the same web server, you can create an Interface Group that includes both port1 (Sales) and port2 (Engineering). Once the Interface Group is created, you can use this group as a single incoming interface in a single firewall policy. This approach reduces the number of policies, making management more efficient.

FortiGate is integrated with FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager.
When a firewall policy is created, which attribute is added to the policy to improve functionality and to support recording logs to FortiAnalyzer or FortiManager?
Correct Answer:D
When a firewall policy is created in FortiGate integrated with FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager, a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) is added to the policy to support logging and management.
Refer to the exhibit.
Which statement about this firewall policy list is true?
Correct Answer:C
The firewall policy list in the exhibit is arranged in the "Interface Pair View," where policies are grouped by
their incoming (ingress) and outgoing (egress) interface pairs. Each section (LAN to WAN, WAN to LAN,
etc.) groups policies based on these interface pairings. This view helps administrators quickly identify which
policies apply to specific traffic flows between network interfaces. Options A and D are incorrect because the Implicit group typically does not include more than one deny policy, and there is no "sequence grouping
view" in FortiGate. Option B is incorrect as the list is not displayed strictly by ID sequence.
