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?
Explanation:
The HA topology shown in the exhibit is using link monitoring with two heartbeat interfaces (port3 and port5) and a heartbeat interval of 100ms. Link monitoring is a feature that allows HA failover to occur when one or more monitored interfaces fail or become disconnected. The heartbeat interval is the time between each heartbeat packet sent by an HA cluster unit to other cluster units through heartbeat interfaces. The failover time is determined by multiplying the heartbeat interval by three (the default deadtime value). Therefore, in this case, the failover time is 100ms x 3 = 300ms.

An administrator has configured a FortiGate and Forti Authenticator for two-factor authentication with FortiToken push notifications for their SSL VPN login. Upon initial review of the setup, the administrator has discovered that the customers can manually type in their two-factor code and authenticate but push notifications do not work Based on the information given in the exhibits, what must be done to fix this?
Explanation:
The FortiGate and Forti Authenticator configuration shown in the exhibits is using two-factor authentication with FortiToken push notifications for SSL VPN login. FortiToken push notifications are a feature that allows users to receive a notification on their mobile devices when they attempt to log in to a FortiGate or FortiAuthenticator service, and approve or deny the login request with a single tap. However, push notifications do not work in this scenario, even though users can manually type in their two-factor code and authenticate. One possible reason for this issue is that the FortiGate does not know how to reach the FortiAuthenticator server for push notifications. Therefore, to fix this issue, one option is to configure the ftm-push server setting on FG-1 CLI, which specifies the IP address or FQDN of the FortiAuthenticator server that handles push notifications. In this case, since FAC-1 has an IP address of 100.64.141, the ftm-push server setting on FG-1 CLI must point to 100.64.141 as well. Reference:

You are troubleshooting a FortiMail Cloud service integrated with Office 365 where outgoing emails are not reaching the recipients' mail What are two possible reasons for this problem? (Choose two.)
Explanation:
FortiMail Cloud service is a cloud-based email security solution that integrates with Office 365 to provide protection against spam, malware, phishing, data loss, etc. To use FortiMail Cloud service with Office 365, users need to configure both FortiMail Cloud settings and Office 365 settings properly. One possible reason for outgoing emails not reaching the recipients' mailboxes is that the FortiMail access control rules to relay from Office 365 servers public IPs are missing. This means that FortiMail Cloud service does not recognize the Office 365 servers as authorized senders and rejects the outgoing emails. Users need to add the Office 365 servers public IPs to the FortiMail access control rules to allow relaying. Another possible reason for outgoing emails not reaching the recipients' mailboxes is that a Mail Flow connector from the Exchange Admin Center has not been set properly to the FortiMail Cloud FQDN. This means that Office 365 does not route the outgoing emails to the FortiMail Cloud service for scanning and delivery. Users need to create a Mail Flow connector from the Exchange Admin Center and specify the FortiMail Cloud FQDN as the smart host.

You are responsible for recommending an adapter type for NICs on a FortiGate VM that will run on an ESXi Hypervisor. Your recommendation must consider performance as the main concern, cost is not a factor. Which adapter type for the NICs will you recommend?
Explanation:
The FortiGate VM is a virtual firewall appliance that can run on various hypervisors, such as ESXi, Hyper-V, KVM, etc. The adapter type for NICs on a FortiGate VM determines the performance and compatibility of the network interface cards with the hypervisor and the physical network. There are different adapter types available for NICs on a FortiGate VM, such as E1000, VMXNET3, SR-IOV, etc. If performance is the main concern and cost is not a factor, one option is to use native ESXi networking with VMXNET3 adapter type for NICs on a FortiGate VM that will run on an ESXi hypervisor.
VMXNET3 is a paravirtualized network interface card that is optimized for performance in virtual machines and supports features such as multiqueue support, Receive Side Scaling (RSS), Large Receive Offload (LRO), IPv6 offloads, and MSI/MSI-X interrupt delivery. Native ESXi networking means that the FortiGate VM uses the standard virtual switch (vSwitch) or distributed virtual switch (dvSwitch) provided by the ESXi hypervisor to connect to the physical network. This option can provide high performance and compatibility for NICs on a FortiGate VM without requiring additional hardware or software components. Reference:

Refer to the exhibit.
You are deploying a FortiGate 6000F. The device should be directly connected to a switch. In the future, a new hardware module providing higher speed will be installed in the switch, and the connection to the FortiGate must be moved to this higher-speed port.
You must ensure that the initial FortiGate interface connected to the switch does not affect any other port when the new module is installed and the new port speed is defined.
How should the initial connection be made?
Explanation:
The FortiGate 6000F is a high-performance firewall appliance that has 28 network interfaces with different speeds and types. The device should be directly connected to a switch that will have a new hardware module providing higher speed in the future. The connection to the FortiGate must be moved to this higher-speed port without affecting any other port. Therefore, the initial connection should be made on any interface between ports 21 to 24, which are 10G SFP+ interfaces. These interfaces are independent from each other and do not share bandwidth with any other interface.
This means that moving the connection to a higher-speed port in the future will not affect any other port on the FortiGate. Option A shows the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because ports 25 to 28 are 40G QSFP+ interfaces, which share bandwidth with ports 21 to 24. Moving the connection to a higher-speed port in the future will affect the bandwidth of these ports. Option C is incorrect because ports 1 to 4 are 100G QSFP28 interfaces, which share bandwidth with ports 5 to 8 and ports 9 to 12. Moving the connection to a higher-speed port in the future will affect the bandwidth of these ports. Option D is incorrect because ports 5 to 8 are 25G SFP28 interfaces, which share bandwidth with ports 1 to 4 and ports 9 to 12. Moving the connection to a higher-speed port in the future will affect the bandwidth of these ports. Reference:

SD-WAN is configured on a FortiGate. You notice that when one of the internet links has high latency the time to resolve names using DNS from FortiGate is very high.
You must ensure that the FortiGate DNS resolution times are as low as possible with the least amount of work.
What should you configure?
Explanation:
SD-WAN is a feature that allows users to optimize network performance and reliability by using multiple WAN links and applying rules based on various criteria, such as latency, jitter, packet loss, etc. One way to ensure that the FortiGate DNS resolution times are as low as possible with the least amount of work is to configure local out traffic to use the outgoing interface based on SD-WAN rules with the interface IP and configure an SD-WAN rule to the DNS server. This means that the FortiGate will use the best WAN link available to send DNS queries to the DNS server according to the SD-WAN rule, and use its own interface IP as the source address. This avoids NAT issues and ensures optimal DNS performance. Reference: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.0.0/sdwan/ 19662/sd-wan
You are running a diagnose command continuously as traffic flows through a platform with NP6 and you obtain the following output:
Given the information shown in the output, which two statements are true? (Choose two.)
Explanation:
The diagnose command shown in the output is used to display information about NP6 packet descriptor queues. The output shows that there are 16 NP6 units in total, and each unit has four XAUI ports (XA0-XA3). The output also shows that there are some non-zero values in the columns PDQ ACCU (packet descriptor queue accumulated counter) and PDQ DROP (packet descriptor queue drop counter). These values indicate that there are some packet descriptor queues that have reached their maximum capacity and have dropped some packets at the XAUI ports. This could be caused by congestion or misconfiguration of the XAUI ports or the ISF (Internal Switch Fabric). Reference:
