Refer to the exhibit.

If the default settings are in place, what can you conclude about the conserve mode shown in the exhibit?

A.
FortiGate is currently blocking new sessions that require flow-based or proxy-based content inspection.
Answers
A.
FortiGate is currently blocking new sessions that require flow-based or proxy-based content inspection.
B.
FortiGate is currently blocking all new sessions regardless of the content inspection requirements or configuration settings because of high memory use.

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

Conserve Mode Overview: Conserve mode is a state that FortiGate enters to protect itself from running out of memory. It is triggered when the memory usage reaches certain thresholds.

Thresholds: The default settings for conserve mode thresholds are:

Red Threshold: 88% memory usage.

Extreme Threshold: 95% memory usage.

Green Threshold: 82% memory usage.

Impact on Sessions: When in conserve mode:

New sessions requiring flow-based content inspection are blocked.

New sessions requiring proxy-based content inspection are also blocked to free up memory resources.

Current Memory State in Exhibit: The exhibit shows:

Total RAM: 3040 MB.

Memory used: 2706 MB (89% of total RAM).

Memory usage exceeds the red threshold (88%), thus triggering conserve mode.

Given that the memory usage is above the red threshold and conserve mode is active, the FortiGate will block new sessions requiring both flow-based and proxy-based content inspection to conserve memory.
