Pass the Fortinet NSE EMEA-Advanced-Support Questions and answers with ValidTests

A hybrid cloud combines on-premises infrastructure (local datacenter) with public cloud resources, allowing workloads to operate across both environments for flexibility and scalability. Fortinet solutions like FortiGate-VM support hybrid cloud deployments. Option A refers to hardware diversity, C to OS variety, and D to architecture types, none of which define hybrid cloud. Exact extract: "Hybrid cloud is the combination of public cloud services with an on-premises private cloud or datacenter... This allows customers to run some systems in the public cloud and others in their local datacenter, managed seamlessly."

IPS efficiency is improved by: A) Compiling signatures into a decision tree to reduce comparison overhead; B) Using IPS sensors/filters to selectively apply signatures to relevant traffic, reducing unnecessary processing; D) Using a regular database instead of an extended one to lower memory usage. Option C’s “Turbo” and round-robin load balancing is not a standard Fortinet IPS feature. Option E is incorrect as C is not valid. Exact extract: "IPS efficiency is improved by compiling signatures into decision trees to minimize CPU usage... IPS sensors and filters allow selective signature application to reduce processing... Using the regular signature database instead of extended reduces memory footprint."

In Active FTP, the client sends the PORT command to the server, specifying an ephemeral port for the server to initiate the data connection back to the client. This distinguishes Active FTP from Passive FTP, where the server provides the port. The server does not send PORT, and the command is a key part of Active FTP. Exact extract: "In Active FTP, the client sends a PORT command to the server, specifying the IP address and port number for the data connection... The server then initiates the data connection to the client’s specified port."

FortiGate’s SSL Inspection feature decrypts and inspects SSL/TLS traffic to detect threats or enforce policies, using techniques like full SSL inspection or certificate inspection. Deep Packet Inspection (A) is a broader term, Application Control (C) identifies apps, and Web Filtering (D) blocks URLs, not specific to SSL. Exact extract: "SSL Inspection allows FortiGate to decrypt and inspect SSL/TLS traffic to detect hidden threats or enforce security policies, supporting full or certificate-based inspection."

IPsec operates at Layer 4 (Transport Layer) in the OSI model, providing secure communication via protocols like ESP and AH, which work with TCP or UDP. BGP and OSPF are Layer 3 (Network Layer) routing protocols, and ARP operates at Layer 2 (Data Link Layer). Fortinet’s FortiGate uses IPsec for VPNs at Layer 4. Exact extract: "IPsec operates at the Transport Layer (Layer 4) to secure communications, encapsulating TCP or UDP packets... BGP and OSPF function at the Network Layer, while ARP resolves IP to MAC addresses at the Data Link Layer."

In a FortiGate HA cluster (active-active or active-passive), if the primary unit fails, a secondary unit automatically takes over as the primary, ensuring continuity of traffic with minimal disruption. Option A is incorrect as traffic continues, C is incorrect as the mode doesn’t change post-failure, and D is unrelated. Exact extract: "In a FortiGate HA cluster, if the primary unit fails, a secondary unit is elected as the new primary, taking over all roles to maintain traffic flow and session continuity."

Hub-and-spoke IPsec VPN reduces the number of tunnels needed (one per spoke to hub instead of n(n-1)/2 in full mesh), simplifying configuration and routing tables with summarized routes at the hub. It does not inherently provide stronger encryption or require for redundancy (though can be made redundant). Exact extract: I want to have a way to quickly (preferably automated) setup VPN's to my 2 hubs from each spoke. However we do not want/need VPNs between spokes. Hub Configuration: Configure the FortiGate unit as the hub. Set up IPsec VPN tunnels for each spoke. Use preshared keys for authentication. The purpose of this document is to describe the requirements and general information for building a Hub & Spoke architecture using FortiGate-VM on Oracle Cloud ... The remote sites do not need to have connectivity to each other nor does the customer want them to have connectivity to each other. Given these ... This article gives a brief configuration example from one spoke to other spoke using IPsec, through the Hub firewall.

In OSPF, the Area Border Router (ABR) generates Type-4 Summary LSAs to advertise the location of an Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) to other areas. This LSA informs routers in different areas how to reach the ASBR for external routes. ASBR generates Type-5 LSAs for external routes, but ABR summarizes them with Type-4. Not all routers or stub routers do this. Exact extract: This article describes the basic steps to configure FortiGates in an OSPF scenario where the FortiGates will be ABR and ASBR OSPF routers across 3 areas. Router3 is the Autonomous System Border Router (ASBR). It routes all traffic to the ISP BGP router for internet access. It redistributes routes from BGP and ... Type 4 LSAs exist to let the area know the router-id of the ASBR, so the routers can look at the type 5 route, find advertising-router, and map ... An ASBR summary LSA is generated by an ABR and describes the location of an ASBR (Autonomous System Boundary Router) that connects to an external network. The FortiGate in the middle shall be a ABR between the two areas. But I don't want R2 in area 0.0.0.0 to have every /32 route for every VPN client. So I tried ...

The ‘get router info routing-table all’ command displays the FortiGate’s current routing table, including all active routes and their details. Options B, C, and D are not valid or specific for this purpose. Exact extract: "Use ‘get router info routing-table all’ to display the complete routing table, showing destination, gateway, interface, and metric for all routes."

Traffic Logs in FortiGate record all traffic events, including denied packets, with details like source, destination, and policy ID. Security Logs (B) cover UTM events, Event Logs (C) system events, and System Logs (D) hardware or system status, not specifically denied traffic. Exact extract: "Traffic Logs record all packet activity, including allowed and denied traffic, with details such as source/destination IPs, ports, and the firewall policy applied."
