NEW QUESTION # 58
An HA topology is using the following configuration:
Based on this configuration, how long will it take for a failover to be detected by the secondary cluster member?
- A. 100ms
- B. 200ms
- C. 600ms
- D. 300ms
Answer: B
Explanation:
The HA heartbeat interval is 100ms, and the number of lost heartbeats before a failover is detected is 2. So, it will take 2 * 100ms = 200ms for a failover to be detected by the secondary cluster member.

NEW QUESTION # 59
You must analyze an event that happened at 20:37 UTC. One log relevant to the event is extracted from FortiGate logs:
The devices and the administrator are all located in different time zones Daylight savings time (DST) is disabled
* The FortiGate is at GMT-1000.
* The FortiAnalyzer is at GMT-0800
* Your browser local time zone is at GMT-03.00
You want to review this log on FortiAnalyzer GUI, what time should you use as a filter?
- A. 10:37:08
- B. 17:37:08
- C. 20:37:08
- D. 12.37:08
Answer: B
Explanation:
To review this log on FortiAnalyzer GUI, the administrator should use the time filter that matches the local time zone of FortiAnalyzer, which is GMT-0800. Since the log was generated at 20:37 UTC (GMT+0000), the corresponding time in GMT-0800 is 20:37 - 8 hours = 12:37. However, since DST is disabled on FortiAnalyzer, the administrator should add one hour to account for daylight saving time difference, resulting in 12:37 + 1 hour = 13:37. Therefore, the time filter to use is 13:37:08. References: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortianalyzer/6.4.0/administration-guide/103664/time-zone-and-daylight-saving-time

NEW QUESTION # 61
Refer to the exhibits.

A customer wants to deploy 12 FortiAP 431F devices on high density conference center, but they do not currently have any PoE switches to connect them to. They want to be able to run them at full power while having network redundancy From the FortiSwitch models and sample retail prices shown in the exhibit, which build of materials would have the lowest cost, while fulfilling the customer's requirements?
- A. 2x FortiSwitch 248E-FPOE
- B. 2x FortiSwitch 124E-FPOE
- C. 2x FortiSwitch 224E-POE
- D. 1x FortiSwitch 248EFPOE
Answer: A
Explanation:
The customer wants to deploy 12 FortiAP 431F devices on a high density conference center, but they do not have any PoE switches to connect them to. They want to be able to run them at full power while having network redundancy. PoE switches are switches that can provide both data and power to connected devices over Ethernet cables, eliminating the need for separate power adapters or outlets. PoE switches are useful for deploying devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones in locations where power outlets are scarce or inconvenient. The FortiAP 431F is a wireless access point that supports PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) standard, which can deliver up to 30W of power per port. The FortiAP 431F has a maximum power consumption of 25W when running at full power. Therefore, to run 12 FortiAP 431F devices at full power, the customer needs PoE switches that can provide at least 300W of total PoE power budget (25W x 12). The customer also needs network redundancy, which means that they need at least two PoE switches to connect the FortiAP devices in case one switch fails or loses power. From the FortiSwitch models and sample retail prices shown in the exhibit, the build of materials that has the lowest cost while fulfilling the customer's requirements is 2x FortiSwitch 248E-FPOE. The FortiSwitch 248E-FPOE is a PoE switch that has 48 GE ports with PoE+ capability and a total PoE power budget of 370W. It also has 4x 10 GE SFP+ uplink ports for high-speed connectivity. The sample retail price of the FortiSwitch 248E-FPOE is $1,995, which means that two units will cost $3,990. This is the lowest cost among the other options that can meet the customer's requirements. Option A is incorrect because the FortiSwitch 248EFPOE is a non-PoE switch that has no PoE capability or power budget. It cannot provide power to the FortiAP devices over Ethernet cables. Option B is incorrect because the FortiSwitch 224E-POE is a PoE switch that has only 24 GE ports with PoE+ capability and a total PoE power budget of 185W. It cannot provide enough ports or power to run 12 FortiAP devices at full power. Option D is incorrect because the FortiSwitch 124E-FPOE is a PoE switch that has only 24 GE ports with PoE+ capability and a total PoE power budget of 185W. It cannot provide enough ports or power to run 12 FortiAP devices at full power.

To prevent unauthorized access of their cloud assets, an administrator wants to enforce authentication on firewall policy ID 1.
What change does the administrator need to make?
- A.

- B.

- C.

- D.

Answer: A
Explanation:
The firewall policy in the exhibit allows all traffic from the internal network to the cloud. To enforce authentication on this traffic, the administrator needs to add the auth-on-demand option to the policy. This option will force all users to authenticate before they are allowed to access the cloud.
The following is the correct configuration:

NEW QUESTION # 69
A customer wants to use the FortiAuthenticator REST API to retrieve an SSO group called SalesGroup. The following API call is being made with the 'curl' utility:
Which two statements correctly describe the expected behavior of the FortiAuthenticator REST API? (Choose two.)
- A. The syntax is incorrect because the API calls needs the get method.
- B. This API call will fail because it requires that API version 2
- C. If the REST API web service access key is lost, it cannot be retrieved and must be changed.
- D. Only users with the "Full permission" role can access the REST API
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
To retrieve an SSO group called SalesGroup using the FortiAuthenticator REST API, the following issues need to be fixed in the API call:
The API version should be v2, not v1, as SSO groups are only supported in version 2 of the REST API.
The HTTP method should be GET, not POST, as GET is used to retrieve information from the server, while POST is used to create or update information on the server. Therefore, a correct API call would look like this: curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" https://fac.example.com/api/v2/sso/groups/SalesGroup Reference: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortiauthenticator/6.4.1/rest-api-solution-guide/927310/introduction https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortiauthenticator/6.4.1/rest-api-solution-guide/927311/sso-groups

Given the configuration shown in the exhibit, which two statements about the installation are correct?
(Choose two.)
- A. The Windows clients only require "File and Printer Sharing0 allowed and the rest is handled by Active Directory group policy
- B. You can only deploy initial installations to Windows clients.
- C. If no client update time is specified on EMS, the user will be able to choose the time of installation if they wish to delay.
- D. A client can be eligible for multiple enabled configurations on the EMS server, and one will be chosen based on first priority
- E. You must use Standard or Enterprise SQL Server rather than the included SQL Server Express
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
* A is correct because if no client update time is specified on EMS, the user will be able to choose the time of installation if they wish to delay. This is because the FortiClient EMS server will not force the installation on the client.
* E is correct because the Windows clients only require "File and Printer Sharing" allowed and the rest is handled by Active Directory group policy. This is becausethe Active Directory group policy will configure the Windows clients to automatically install FortiClient and the FortiClient EMS server will only need to push the initial configuration to the clients.
The other options are incorrect. Option B is incorrect because a client can only be eligible for one enabled configuration on the EMS server. Option C is incorrect because you can deploy initial installations to both Windows and macOS clients. Option D is incorrect because you can use the included SQL Server Express to deploy FortiClient EMS.

NEW QUESTION # 73
A customer's cybersecurity department needs to implement security for the traffic between two VPCs in AWS, but these belong to different departments within the company. The company uses a single region for all their VPCs.
Which two actions will achieve this requirement while keeping separate management of each department's VPC? (Choose two.)
- A. Create a VPC with a FortiGate auto-scaling group with a Transit Gateway attached to the three VPC to force routing through the FortiGate cluster
- B. Create a transit VPC with a FortiGate HA cluster, connect to the other two using VPC peering, and use routing tables to force traffic through the FortiGate cluster.
- C. Migrate all the instances to the same VPC and create 1AM accounts for each department, then implement a new subnet for a FortiGate auto-scaling group and use routing tables to force the traffic through the FortiGate cluster.
- D. Create an 1AM account for the cybersecurity department to manage both existing VPC, create a FortiGate HA Cluster on each VPC and IPSEC VPN to force traffic between the VPCs through the FortiGate clusters
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
To implement security for the traffic between two VPCs in AWS, while keeping separate management of each department's VPC, two possible actions are:
Create a transit VPC with a FortiGate HA cluster, connect to the other two using VPC peering, and use routing tables to force traffic through the FortiGate cluster. This option allows the cybersecurity department to manage the transit VPC and apply security policies on the FortiGate cluster, while the other departments can manage their own VPCs and instances. The VPC peering connections enable direct communication between the VPCs without using public IPs or gateways. The routing tables can be configured to direct all inter-VPC traffic to the transit VPC.
Create a VPC with a FortiGate auto-scaling group with a Transit Gateway attached to the three VPCs to force routing through the FortiGate cluster. This option also allows the cybersecurity department to manage the security VPC and apply security policies on the FortiGate cluster, while the other departments can manage their own VPCs and instances. The Transit Gateway acts as a network hub that connects multiple VPCs and on-premises networks. The routing tables can be configured to direct all inter-VPC traffic to the security VPC.
