Pass the Fortinet Fortinet Network Security Expert FCP_FMG_AD-7.4 Questions and answers with CertsForce

When push updates are failing on a FortiGate device behind a NAT device, the administrator should check:

A.That the override server IP address is set on FortiManager and the NAT device.

The override server IP should be configured to ensure that FortiManager uses the correct IP address that can traverse the NAT to reach the FortiGate device.

D.That the virtual IP address and correct ports are set on the NAT device.

The NAT device must have the correct virtual IP (VIP) configured to map the FortiGate's internal IP to an external address, along with the correct ports needed for communication.

Options B and C are incorrect because:

Bsuggests setting the external IP on the NAT device to DHCP, which is not relevant to solving the push update issue.

Cimplies configuring NAT device IP and ports on FortiManager, which is less likely needed compared to configuring the correct VIP and ports.

They can be configured using the CLI and the GUI.

Scheduled backups can indeed be set up through both the FortiManager command-line interface (CLI) and the graphical user interface (GUI), providing flexibility for administrators.

They support FTP, SCP, and SFTP.

FortiManager supports multiple protocols for backup transfers, including FTP, SCP, and SFTP, allowing administrators to choose the method that best suits their environment.

When operating in workspace mode on FortiManager 7.4, the administrator must understand how object references and deletions work:

Option C- "FortiManager will not allow the administrator to delete a referenced address object until they lock the ADOM":In workspace mode, all changes are managed within an Administrative Domain (ADOM) scope. When an object (like an address object) is referenced in a policy, FortiManager prevents its deletion to maintain configuration integrity. The ADOM must be locked by the administrator to make changes to any referenced objects. This locking mechanism ensures that no unintended deletions or changes occur that could disrupt the policies or configuration.

FortiManager Reference: "In workspace mode, changes to objects or policies require the ADOM to be locked. If an object is referenced, you must lock the ADOM before deleting or modifying the object." (FortiManager 7.4 Administration Guide, Section on Workspace Mode and ADOM Management)

Option D- "FortiManager will replace the deleted address object with the none address object in the referenced firewall policy":If the administrator attempts to delete an address object that is currently referenced by a firewall policy, FortiManager will replace the deleted object with the 'none' address object. This is done to maintain the policy structure and avoid policy corruption due to a missing reference. This behavior ensures that the firewall policy remains syntactically correct, even though the specific address object is no longer in use.

FortiManager Reference: "When a referenced object is deleted, FortiManager will replace it with a 'none' object in the policy. This behavior is to ensure the integrity and continuity of the policy configurations." (FortiManager 7.4 Administration Guide, Object Management and Policy Handling in Workspace Mode)

The configuration shown in the exhibit sets theworkspace-mode to normal. The workspace mode in FortiManager defines how configuration changes and administrative tasks are handled, specifically regarding locking and collaboration in ADOMs (Administrative Domains).

Understanding the workspace modes:

Normal Mode:In this mode, only one administrator at a time can lock and edit an ADOM. The changes made by one administrator must be completed and saved before another administrator can make changes. It prevents concurrent read-write access within the same ADOM.

Workflow Mode:This mode allows multiple administrators to work on different tasks within the same ADOM, but changes still need to be approved before being committed.

Explanation of Options:

A. You can validate administrator login attempts through external servers.

This option is unrelated to the workspace mode. External authentication servers can be used for administrator logins, but that is a different configuration setting (not related to workspace-mode).

B. The same administrator can lock more than one ADOM at the same time.

This istrue. InNormal mode, an administrator can lock multiple ADOMs, meaning they can work on more than one ADOM simultaneously, but each ADOM can only be accessed by one administrator at a time for read-write purposes.

C. Two or more administrators can make configuration changes at the same time, in the same ADOM.

This isfalse. InNormal mode, onlyone administratorcan have read-write access to an ADOM at a time. If another administrator attempts to make changes, they must wait until the ADOM is unlocked by the first administrator.

D. Concurrent read-write access to an ADOM is disabled.

This istrue. InNormal mode, concurrent read-write access is disabled. This means only one administrator at a time can make changes to an ADOM. Other administrators can view the ADOM in read-only mode but cannot make changes until the ADOM is unlocked.

The statement that is true about the policy lock feature on FortiManager is:

A. Policy locking is available in workspace normal mode.

In FortiManager, when working in "workspace-mode normal," policies can be locked by administrators to prevent other administrators from editing them simultaneously. This ensures that only one administrator makes changes at any given time, reducing conflicts or mistakes due to concurrent modifications.

Statements B, C, and D are incorrect because:

B is incorrect since locking a policy does not override a locked ADOM. The ADOM lock takes precedence.

C is incorrect because when a policy is locked, it does not necessarily mean the ADOM is locked.

D is incorrect because administrators in the approval group cannot work concurrently on a locked policy; the policy lock prevents concurrent modifications.

The import report indicates that the "firewall service category" namedGeneralwasSKIPPEDdue to being aDUPLICATE. This means FortiManager did not update its database with this value since it already exists. It simply ignored the duplicate without making any changes to the database for that object.
