Pass the Fortinet NSE 6 Network Security Specialist NSE6_FNC-7.2 Questions and answers with ValidTests

To determine which network access policy is applied to a particular host, you should look at the Policy Details window. This window provides information about the types of policies applied (such as Network Access, Authentication, Supplicant, etc.), including the profile name, policy name, configuration name, and any settings that make up the configuration​​.

FortiNAC p 382: "Under Network Access Settings - Policy Name - Name of the Network Access Policy that currently applies to the host."

FortiNAC uses various methods to communicate with infrastructure devices such as SNMP for discovery and ongoing management, SSH or Telnet through the CLI for tasks related to the infrastructure, and RADIUS for handling specific types of requests

In an isolation VLAN, FortiNAC supplies DHCP and DNS services. The guide specifies that FortiNAC has a DHCP scope defined for a particular VLAN and should be the only DHCP server available to hosts on that VLAN. Additionally, hosts on the VLAN would get a DNS server configuration of the FortiNAC IP for that VLAN

The study guide explains that there are six different types of groups in FortiNAC, including device, host, IP phone, port, user, and administrator groups. Groups created by administrative users or imported as a result of an LDAP integration can be used to organize elements but do not enforce any type of control or functionality directly​

A. Manual Polling: This is when an administrator or network operator initiates a poll manually to gather information or check the status of the network devices. This can be done for immediate troubleshooting or assessment.

B. Scheduled Poll Timings: Network management systems often have the capability to schedule regular polls of devices to check their status or monitor their performance. These scheduled polls can be set at regular intervals (such as every few minutes, hours, or daily) depending on the requirements of the network.

E. Linkup and Linkdown Traps: SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) traps, like Linkup and Linkdown, are automated notifications sent from network devices to a management system. A Linkup trap indicates that a particular interface has become active (up), while a Linkdown trap indicates that an interface has become inactive (down). These traps can trigger Layer 2 polling to ascertain the current status of network interfaces and devices.

To gather a list of installed applications and application details from a host, two methods can be used:

Agent technology: FortiNAC uses agent technology to collect all installed applications on an endpoint.

Integration with MDMs (Mobile Device Management systems): MDMs that support application gathering can be integrated with FortiNAC to collect application information​​.
