Which statement explains why the FortiGate did not install its configuration from the
FortiManager?



A. The FortiGate was not configured with the correct pre-shared key to connect to the FortiManager


B. The DHCP server was not configured with the FQDN of the FortiManager


C. The DHCP server used the incorrect option type for the FortiManager IP address.


D. The configuration was modified on the FortiGate prior to connecting to the FortiManager





C.
  The DHCP server used the incorrect option type for the FortiManager IP address.

Explanation: C is correct because the DHCP server used the incorrect option type for the FortiManager IP address. The option type should be 43 instead of 15, as shown in the FortiManager Administration Guide under Zero-Touch Provisioning > Configuring DHCP options for ZTP.

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.)



A. The FortiMail access control rule to relay from Office 365 servers FQDN is missing.


B. The FortiMail DKIM key was not set using the Auto Generation option.


C. The FortiMail access control rules to relay from Office 365 servers public IPs are missing.


D. A Mail Flow connector from the Exchange Admin Center has not been set properly to the FortiMail Cloud FQDN.





A.
  The FortiMail access control rule to relay from Office 365 servers FQDN is missing.

D.
  A Mail Flow connector from the Exchange Admin Center has not been set properly to the FortiMail Cloud FQDN.

Explanation: A. The FortiMail access control rule to relay from Office 365 servers FQDN is missing.
If the access control rule to relay from Office 365 servers FQDN is missing, then FortiMail will not be able to send emails to Office 365. This is because the access control rule specifies which IP addresses or domains are allowed to relay emails through FortiMail. D. A Mail Flow connector from the Exchange Admin Center has not been set properly to the FortiMail Cloud FQDN.
If the Mail Flow connector from the Exchange Admin Center is not set properly to the FortiMail Cloud FQDN, then Office 365 will not be able to send emails to FortiMail. This is because the Mail Flow connector specifies which SMTP server is used to send emails to external recipients.

Refer to the exhibit.



A customer has deployed a FortiGate 200F high-availability (HA) cluster that contains & TPM chip. The exhibit shows output from the FortiGate CLI session where the administrator enabled TPM.
Following these actions, the administrator immediately notices that both FortiGate high availability (HA) status and FortiManager status for the FortiGate are negatively impacted.
What are the two reasons for this behavior? (Choose two.)



A. The private-data-encryption key entered on the primary did not match the value that the TPM expected.


B. Configuration for TPM is not synchronized between FortiGate HA cluster members.


C. The FortiGate has not finished the auto-update process to synchronize the new configuration to FortiManager yet.


D. TPM functionality is not yet compatible with FortiGate HA D The administrator needs to manually enter the hex private data encryption key in FortiManager





A.
  The private-data-encryption key entered on the primary did not match the value that the TPM expected.

B.
  Configuration for TPM is not synchronized between FortiGate HA cluster members.

Explanation: The two reasons for the negative impact on the FortiGate HA status and FortiManager status after enabling TPM are:
The private-data-encryption key entered on the primary unit did not match the value that the TPM expected. This could happen if the TPM was previously enabled and then disabled, and the key was changed in between. The TPM will reject the new key and cause an error in the configuration synchronization.
Configuration for TPM is not synchronized between FortiGate HA cluster members. Each cluster member must have the same private-data-encryption key to form a valid HA cluster and synchronize their configurations. However, enabling TPM on one unit does not automatically enable it on the other units, and the key must be manually entered on each unit. To resolve these issues, the administrator should disable TPM on all units, clear the TPM data, and then enable TPM again with the same private-data-encryption key on each unit.

Refer to the exhibit.



The exhibit shows two error messages from a FortiGate root Security Fabric device when you try to configure a new connection to a FortiClient EMS Server.
Referring to the exhibit, which two actions will fix these errors? (Choose two.)



A. Verify that the CRL is accessible from the root FortiGate


B. Export and import the FortiClient EMS server certificate to the root FortiGate.


C. Install a new known CA on the Win2K16-EMS server.


D. Authorize the root FortiGate on the FortiClient EMS





A.
  Verify that the CRL is accessible from the root FortiGate

D.
  Authorize the root FortiGate on the FortiClient EMS

Explanation: A is correct because the error message "The CRL is not accessible" indicates that the root FortiGate cannot access the CRL for the FortiClient EMS server. Verifying that the CRL is accessible will fix this error.
D is correct because the error message "The FortiClient EMS server is not authorized" indicates that the root FortiGate is not authorized to connect to the FortiClient EMS server. Authorizing the root FortiGate on the FortiClient EMS server will fix this error.
The other options are incorrect. Option B is incorrect because exporting and importing the FortiClient EMS server certificate to the root FortiGate will not fix the CRL error. Option C is incorrect because installing a new known CA on the Win2K16-EMS server will not fix the authorization error.

Refer to the exhibits.



The exhibits show a FortiGate network topology and the output of the status of high availability on the FortiGate.
Given this information, which statement is correct?



A. The ethertype values of the HA packets are 0x8890, 0x8891, and 0x8892


B. The cluster mode can support a maximum of four (4) FortiGate VMs


C. The cluster members are on the same network and the IP addresses were statically assigned.


D. FGVMEVLQOG33WM3D and FGVMEVGCJNHFYI4A share a virtual MAC address.





D.
  FGVMEVLQOG33WM3D and FGVMEVGCJNHFYI4A share a virtual MAC address.

Explanation: The output of the status of high availability on the FortiGate shows that the cluster mode is active-passive, which means that only one FortiGate unit is active at a time, while the other unit is in standby mode. The active unit handles all traffic and also sends HA heartbeat packets to monitor the standby unit. The standby unit becomes active if it stops receiving heartbeat packets from the active unit, or if it receives a higher priority from another cluster unit. In active-passive mode, all cluster units share a virtual MAC address for each interface, which is used as the source MAC address for all packets forwarded by the cluster.

Refer to the exhibits.



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?



A. On FG-1 port1, the ftm access protocol must be enabled.


B. FAC-1 must have an internet routable IP address for push notifications.


C. On FG-1 CLI, the ftm-push server setting must point to 100.64.141.


D. On FAC-1, the FortiToken public IP setting must point to 100.64.1 41





B.
  FAC-1 must have an internet routable IP address for push notifications.

Explanation: FortiToken push notifications require that the FortiAuthenticator has an internet routable IP address. This is because the FortiAuthenticator uses this IP address to send push notifications to the FortiGate.
The other options are not correct. Enabling the ftm access protocol on FG-1 port1 is not necessary for push notifications to work. The ftm-push server setting on FG-1 CLI should already point to the FortiAuthenticator's IP address. The FortiToken public IP setting on FAC-1 is not relevant to push notifications.
Here is a table that summarizes the different options:

Refer to the exhibit, which shows a VPN topology.



The device IP 10.1.100.40 downloads a file from the FTP server IP 192.168.4.50 Referring to the exhibit, what will be the traffic flow behavior if ADVPN is configured in this environment?



A. All the session traffic will pass through the Hub


B. The TCP port 21 must be allowed on the NAT Device2


C. ADVPN is not supported when spokes are behind NAT


D. Spoke1 will establish an ADVPN shortcut to Spoke2





D.
  Spoke1 will establish an ADVPN shortcut to Spoke2

Explanation: D is correct because Spoke1 will establish an ADVPN shortcut to Spoke2 when it detects that there is a demand for traffic between them. This is explained in the Fortinet Community article on Technical Tip: Fortinet Auto Discovery VPN (ADVPN) under Summary - ADVPN sequence of events.
