NEW QUESTION # 24
Which three factors about SLA targets and SD-WAN rules should you consider when configuring SD-WAN rules? (Choose three.)
- A. Member metrics are measured only if a rule uses the SLA target.
- B. When configuring an SD-WAN rule, you can select multiple SLA targets if they are from the same performance SLA.
- C. SD-WAN rules can use SLA targets to check whether the preferred members meet the SLA requirements.
- D. When configuring an SD-WAN rule, you can select multiple SLA targets from different performance SLAs.
- E. SLA targets are used only by SD-WAN rules that are configured with a Lowest Cost (SLA) strategy.
Answer: B,C,E
Explanation:
The use of SLA targets is specific to certain SD-WAN strategies. The "Lowest Cost (SLA)" and
"Maximize Bandwidth (SLA)" strategies are explicitly designed to use the configured SLA targets to make routing decisions. The "Best Quality" strategy uses performance metrics but does not necessarily require or reference SLA targets in the same way, while "Manual" does not use metrics at all for path selection.
This is a core function of SD-WAN rules with SLA targets. The purpose of configuring an SLA target with specific thresholds for latency, jitter, and packet loss is to define what is considered
"acceptable" performance for an application. SD-WAN rules then use these targets to check if the members (interfaces) meet these requirements before a flow is steered over them, ensuring that a preferred path still offers a good user experience.
FortiGate allows for a single SD-WAN rule to reference multiple, different performance SLAs. This is crucial for complex deployments where a single SD-WAN rule needs to handle traffic for multiple applications that have distinct performance requirements. For example, a single rule might direct VoIP traffic based on one performance SLA with strict latency/jitter targets, while simultaneously handling general web traffic using another performance SLA with more lenient requirements.
NEW QUESTION # 25
Refer to the exhibit.
Which two statements about the Vulnerability summary dashboard in FortiSASE are correct? (Choose two.)
- A. The dashboard allows the administrator to drill down and view CVE data and severity classifications.
- B. The dashboard shows the vulnerability score for unknown applications.
- C. Automatic vulnerability patching can be enabled for supported applications.
- D. Vulnerability scan is disabled in the endpoint profile.
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
Based on theFortiSASE 7.6 (and later 2025 versions)curriculum and administration guides, the Vulnerability summary dashboard is a key component of the endpoint security posture management.
* Drill Down Capability (Option C): According to theFortiSASE Administration Guide, the Vulnerability summary widget on the Security dashboard is interactive. An administrator can click on specific risk categories (e.g., Critical, High) or application types (e.g., Operating System, Web Client) to drill down. This action opens a detailed pane showing the specific affected endpoints, associatedCVE identifiers, and severity classifications based on the CVSS standard.
* Automatic Vulnerability Patching (Option D): In theFortiSASE 7.6/2025feature sets, the endpoint profile configuration (underEndpoint > Configuration > Profiles) includes an "Automatic Patching" section. This feature allows the system to automatically install security updates for supported third- party applications and the underlying operating system (Windows/macOS) when vulnerabilities are detected. Furthermore, administrators can schedule these patches directly from theVulnerability Summarywidget by selecting specific vulnerabilities.
Why other options are incorrect:
* Option A: The dashboard categories (Operating System, Web Client, Microsoft Office, etc.) are based on known software signatures. While there is an "Other" category, the dashboard primarily provides scores for recognized applications where CVE data is available.
* Option B: The exhibit shows active data (157 total vulnerabilities), which indicates that the vulnerability scan is enabledand currently reporting data from the endpoints. If it were disabled, the widget would be empty or show zeros.
NEW QUESTION # 26
What is the purpose of the on/off-net rule setting in FortiSASE?
- A. To define different traffic routing rules for on-premises and cloud-based resources.
- B. To enable or disable user authentication for external network access.
- C. To configure different access policies for users based on their geographical location.
- D. To determine if an endpoint is connecting from a trusted network or untrusted location.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The on/off-net rule setting in FortiSASE classifies endpoints as on-net (inside trusted corporate networks, like branch offices) or off-net (remote or untrusted locations, like home or public Wi-Fi).
Administrators define on-net rules using IP subnets, gateway MACs, or other criteria to trigger behaviors such as exempting on-net endpoints from FortiSASE auto-connect or applying different profiles.
NEW QUESTION # 27
What are three key routing principles of SD-WAN? (Choose three.)
- A. SD-WAN members are skipped if they do not have a valid route to the destination.
- B. Directly connected routes have precedence over SD-WAN rules.
- C. Policy routes have precedence over SD-WAN rules.
- D. SD-WAN rules are skipped if the best route to the destination is not an SD-WAN member.
- E. SD-WAN rules are skipped if the best route to the destination is a static route.
Answer: A,C,D
Explanation:
An SD-WAN member is used only if it has a valid route to the destination; otherwise it is skipped.
If the best route to the destination does not use an SD-WAN member, SD-WAN rules are skipped.
Policy routes always take precedence over SD-WAN rules, following FortiGate's routing hierarchy.
NEW QUESTION # 28
Which three reports are valid report types in FortiSASE? (Choose three.)
- A. Vulnerability Assessment Report
- B. Endpoint Compliance Deviation Report
- C. Shadow IT Report
- D. Web Usage Summary Report
- E. Cyber Threat Assessment
Answer: A,C,D
Explanation:
Shadow IT Report: Leveraging the built-in CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) capabilities, this report identifies "unsanctioned" or "risky" SaaS applications being used by employees. It helps organizations discover hidden security risks by cataloging cloud applications that have not been explicitly approved by the IT department.
Vulnerability Assessment Report: Since FortiSASE integrates with FortiClient and an embedded EMS, it can aggregate vulnerability scan data from managed endpoints. This report lists software vulnerabilities found on user devices (OS-level and application-level), providing a "Security Rating" or posture assessment that is critical for Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) enforcement.
Web Usage Summary Report: This report provides a high-level overview of web activity across the SASE deployment. It categorizes traffic by website categories (e.g., Social Media, Streaming, Malicious Sites), top users by bandwidth, and blocked requests, helping IT teams understand how internet resources are being consumed by remote workers.
NEW QUESTION # 29
You want FortiGate to use SD-WAN rules to steer ping local-out traffic. Which two constraints should you consider? (Choose two.)
- A. By default, FortiGate uses SD-WAN rules only for local-out traffic that corresponds to ping and traceroute.
- B. You must configure each local-out feature individually to use SD-WAN.
- C. You can steer local-out traffic only with SD-WAN rules that use the manual strategy.
- D. By default, FortiGate uses SD-WAN rules only for local-out traffic that corresponds to ping and traceroute.
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
In theSD-WAN 7.6 Core Administratorcurriculum, steering "local-out" traffic (traffic generated by the FortiGate itself, such as DNS queries, FortiGuard updates, or diagnostic pings) requires specific configuration because this traffic follows a different path than "forward" traffic.
* Individual Configuration (Option A): By default, local-out traffic bypasses the SD-WAN engine and uses the standard system routing table (RIB/FIB). To use SD-WAN rules for specific features like DNS or RADIUS, you must individually enable the sdwan interface-select-method within that feature's configuration (e.g., config system dns or config user radius).
* Default Steerable Traffic (Option B): In FortiOS 7.6, while most local-out traffic is excluded from SD-WAN by default, the system is designed so that when SD-WAN is active, it primarily considers SD- WAN rules for specific diagnostic local-out traffic-specificallypingandtraceroute-to allow administrators to verify path quality using the same logic as user traffic.
Why other options are incorrect:
* Option C: Local-out traffic can be steered using any SD-WAN strategy (Manual, Best Quality, etc.), provided the interface-selection-method is set to sdwan.
NEW QUESTION # 30
Which two methods are available for provisioning FortiClient on endpoints using FortiSASE?
(Choose two.)
- A. FortiClient can be provisioned using SCCM or GPO, but only through an external portal, not the FortiSASE portal.
- B. FortiClient provisioning is limited to using mobile device management MDM software or manual installation without requiring an invitation code.
- C. FortiClient can be provisioned only by distributing installers to end users through the FortiSASE portal without an invitation code.
- D. FortiClient can be provisioned using installers with an invitation code from the FortiSASE portal, SCCM or GPO, or mobile device management (MDM) software.
- E. FortiClient can be provisioned by distributing the installer to end users for manual installation.
Answer: D,E
Explanation:
Administrators can distribute the FortiClient installer for manual installation on endpoints.
FortiClient can also be provisioned using installers embedded with an invitation code, distributed through SCCM, GPO, or MDM solutions via the FortiSASE portal.
NEW QUESTION # 31
Refer to the exhibit, which shows the SD-WAN rule status and configuration. Based on the exhibit, which change in the measured packet loss will make HUB1-VPN3 the new preferred member?
- A. When HUB1-VPN1 has 12% packet loss
- B. When HUB1-VPN1 has 4% packet loss
- C. When all three members have the same packet loss
- D. When HUB1-VPN3 has 4% packet loss
Answer: C
Explanation:
The rule is in mode: priority with priority-members 6 4 5. The members' seq_nums map to:
4 → HUB1-VPN1
5 → HUB1-VPN2
6 → HUB1-VPN3
When the link-cost-factor is packet-loss, the lowest loss wins; but if the losses are tied, selection falls back to the priority-members order. With all three showing the same packet loss, the tie- break picks seq_num 6 first - i.e., HUB1-VPN3 - making it the preferred member.
NEW QUESTION # 32
Refer to the exhibit. How does FortiGate handle the traffic with the source IP 10.0.1.130 and the destination IP 128.66.0.125?
- A. FortiGate drops the traffic flow.
- B. FortiGate load balances the traffic flow through port1 and port2.
- C. FortiGate steers the traffic flow through port2.
- D. FortiGate routes the traffic flow according to the FIB.
Answer: D
Explanation:
On FortiGate, a policy route (PBR) with action deny does not drop the traffic outright. Instead, it prevents the traffic from being steered by that policy route, and the packet is then handed back to the regular routing lookup (FIB):
Source 10.0.1.130 matches 10.0.1.128/25
Destination 128.66.0.125 matches 128.66.0.0/24
Router policy says action deny → do not use this policy route
Result: FortiGate falls back to the FIB (normal routing table).
NEW QUESTION # 33
Which two delivery methods are used for installing FortiClient on a user's laptop? (Choose two.)
- A. Send an invitation email to selected users containing links to FortiClient installers.
- B. Use zero-touch installation through a third-party application store.
- C. Download the installer directly from the FortiSASE portal.
- D. Configure automatic installation through an API to the user's laptop.
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
Download from the FortiSASE portal: Administrators can provide users with access to the FortiSASE portal where they can directly download a pre-configured installer. This installer is uniquely tied to the organization's SASE instance, ensuring the client automatically registers to the correct cloud EMS upon installation.
Invitation Email: This is the most common administrative method. The FortiSASE portal (via its integrated EMS) allows administrators to send an invitation email to specific users or groups. This email contains direct download links for various operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) and the necessary invitation code for zero-touch registration.
NEW QUESTION # 34
A FortiGate device is in production. To optimize WAN link use and improve redundancy, you enable and configure SD-WAN.
What must you do as part of this configuration update process?
- A. Disable the interface that you want to use as an SD-WAN member.
- B. Replace references to interfaces used as SD-WAN members in the firewall policies.
- C. Purchase and install the SD-WAN license, and reboot the FortiGate device.
- D. Replace references to interfaces used as SD-WAN members in the routing configuration.
Answer: B
Explanation:
When you enable SD-WAN on a FortiGate, the individual WAN interfaces that you add into the SD-WAN zone are no longer referenced directly in firewall policies.
Instead, you must update those firewall policies to use the SD-WAN zone as the interface reference.
NEW QUESTION # 35
What is a key use case for FortiSASE Secure Internet Access (SIA) in an agentless deployment?
- A. It provides secure web browsing by isolating browser sessions and enforcing data loss prevention for temporary employees.
- B. It distributes a PAC file to secure non-web traffic protocols and applies antivirus protection only for managed endpoints.
- C. It acts as a secure web gateway (SWG) distributing a PAC file for explicit web proxy use, securing HTTP and HTTPS traffic with a full security stack, and is ideal for unmanaged endpoints like contractors.
- D. It requires FortiClient endpoints and supports ZTNA tags to secure all network traffic for unmanaged endpoints.
Answer: C
Explanation:
In agentless deployments, FortiSASE SIA works as an explicit Secure Web Gateway using a PAC file to secure HTTP/HTTPS traffic with full security controls, making it ideal for unmanaged or contractor endpoints where no agent is installed.
NEW QUESTION # 36
Refer to the exhibit, which shows the SD-WAN rule status and configuration.
Based on the exhibit, which change in the measured packet loss will make HUB1-VPN3 the new preferred member? (Choose one answer)
- A. When HUB1-VPN1 has 12% packet loss
- B. When HUB1-VPN1 has 4% packet loss
- C. When all three members have the same packet loss
- D. When HUB1-VPN3 has 4% packet loss
Answer: C
Explanation:
According to theSD-WAN 7.6 Core Administratorstudy guide and theFortiOS 7.6 Administration Guide, the selection process for theBest Quality (priority)strategy depends on two primary factors: the measured link quality metric and the configured member priority order.
Based on the provided exhibit (image_b40dfc.png), we can determine the following:
* Strategy and Metric: The rule is in Mode(priority) (Best Quality) using link-cost-factor(packet loss).
* Strict Comparison: The link-cost-threshold is set to0. This means there is no "advantage" given to the current preferred link; the FortiGate performs a strict comparison where the link with the objectively best metric is chosen.
* Tie-Breaker Logic: When multiple links have thesamepacket loss, the FortiGate uses theMember Priority Orderdefined in the rule (set priority-members 6 4 5) as the tie-breaker.
* Member 6 (HUB1-VPN3)is the highest priority.
* Member 4 (HUB1-VPN1)is the second priority.
* Member 5 (HUB1-VPN2)is the lowest priority.
* Current State: HUB1-VPN1 is currently selected because its packet loss (2.000%) is lower than HUB1-VPN2 (4.000%) and HUB1-VPN3 (12.000%). Even though HUB1-VPN3 has a higher configuration priority, its significantly higher packet loss prevents it from being chosen.
Evaluation of Options:
* Option A (Verified): If all three members have thesame packet loss(e.g., they all show 2%), the quality metrics are equal. The SD-WAN engine then refers to the priority-members list. Since HUB1- VPN3 (Seq 6) is the first member in that list, it will immediately become the new preferred member.
* Option B: If HUB1-VPN1 reaches 4%, it matches HUB1-VPN2 (4%). HUB1-VPN3 remains at 12%.
The system will choose between VPN1 and VPN2. Since VPN1 (Seq 4) is higher in the priority list than VPN2 (Seq 5), HUB1-VPN1 stays preferred.
* Option C: If HUB1-VPN1 reaches 12%, it matches HUB1-VPN3. However, HUB1-VPN2 is still better at4.000%. Therefore, HUB1-VPN2 would become the new preferred member, not HUB1-VPN3.
* Option D: If HUB1-VPN3 drops to 4%, it matches HUB1-VPN2. However, HUB1-VPN1 is still the best link at2.000%, so it remains selected.
NEW QUESTION # 37
Which FortiSASE feature monitors SaaS application performance and connectivity to points of presence (POPs)?
- A. FortiView dashboards
- B. Digital experience monitoring
- C. Event logs
- D. Operations widgets
Answer: B
Explanation:
The Digital Experience Monitor (DEM) feature on FortiSASE provides end-to-end network visibility by monitoring the performance and health of connections between FortiSASE security Points of Presence (PoPs) and specific SaaS applications, allowing IT teams to troubleshoot connectivity issues and ensure smooth user experience.
NEW QUESTION # 38
Drag and Drop
In which order does a FortiGate device consider the following elements shown in the left column during the route lookup process?
Answer:
Explanation:
Explanation:
1. Policy routes
2. SD-WAN rules
3. Connected routes
4. Internet Service Database (ISDB) routes
FortiGate evaluates routes in a hierarchical order. It first checks policy routes, then SD-WAN rules if enabled. After that, it evaluates connected routes, followed by ISDB routes for Internet services, and finally default routes if no more specific match exists.
NEW QUESTION # 39
Which secure internet access (SIA) use case minimizes individual endpoint configuration? (Choose one answer)
- A. SIA for FortiClient agent remote users
- B. Site-based remote user internet access
- C. SIA using ZTNA
- D. Agentless remote user internet access
Answer: B
Explanation:
According to theFortiSASE 7.6 Architecture GuideandAdministration Guide, theSite-based remote user internet accessuse case is the only deployment model that completely eliminates the need for individual endpoint configuration.
* Centralized Enforcement: In a site-based deployment, a "thin edge" device (such as aFortiExtender or aFortiGatein LAN extension mode) is installed at the remote site. This device establishes a secure tunnel to the FortiSASE Point of Presence (PoP).
* Zero Endpoint Configuration: Because the traffic redirection happens at the network gateway level, individual devices (laptops, IoT devices, mobile phones) behind the site-based device do not require any specialized software or settings. They simply connect to the local network as they would normally, and their traffic is automatically secured by the SASE cloud.
* Comparison with Other Modes:
* Agent-based (Option B): Requires the installation and maintenance ofFortiClientsoftware on every device, often managed via MDM tools.
* Agentless (Option A): While it doesn't need an agent, it typically requires the configuration of Explicit Web Proxysettings or the distribution of aPAC (Proxy Auto-Configuration) filevia GPO or SCCM to each device's browser.
* ZTNA (Option D): Generally requires an endpoint agent (FortiClient) to perform posture checks and identity verification, involving significant endpoint-level configuration.
Why other options are incorrect:
* Option A: Agentless mode is often confused with being "configuration-free," but it still requires endpoints to be pointed toward the FortiSASE proxy.
* Option B: This is the most configuration-intensive mode, requiring full software lifecycles for every endpoint.
* Option D: ZTNA is an access methodology that adds configuration complexity (tags, certificates, posture checks) rather than minimizing it.
NEW QUESTION # 40
SD-WAN interacts with many other FortiGate features. Some of them are required to allow SD-WAN to steer the traffic.
Which three configuration elements must you configure before FortiGate can steer traffic according to SD- WAN rules? (Choose three.)
- A. Routing
- B. Traffic shaping
- C. Interfaces
- D. Security profiles
- E. Firewall policies
Answer: A,C,E
Explanation:
According to theSD-WAN 7.6 Core Administratorstudy guide and theFortiOS 7.6 Administration Guide, for the FortiGate SD-WAN engine to successfully steer traffic using SD-WAN rules, three fundamental configuration components must be in place. This is because the SD-WAN rule lookup occurs only after certain initial conditions are met in the packet flow:
* Interfaces (Option C):You must first define the physical or logical interfaces (such as ISP links, LTE, or VPN tunnels) asSD-WAN members. These members are then typically grouped intoSD-WAN Zones. Without designated member interfaces, there is no "pool" of links for the SD-WAN rules to select from.
* Routing (Option D):For a packet to even be considered by the SD-WAN engine, there must be a matching route in theForwarding Information Base (FIB). Usually, this is a static route where the destination is the network you want to reach, and the gateway interface is set to theSD-WAN virtual interface(or a specific SD-WAN zone). If there is no route pointing to SD-WAN, the FortiGate will use other routing table entries (like a standard static route) and bypass the SD-WAN rule-based steering logic entirely.
* Firewall Policies (Option A):In FortiOS, no traffic is allowed to pass through the device unless a Firewall Policypermits it. To steer traffic, you must have a policy where theIncoming Interfaceis the internal network and theOutgoing Interfaceis the SD-WAN zone (or the virtual-wan-link). The SD- WAN rule selection happens during the "Dirty" session state, which requires a policy match to proceed with the session creation.
Why other options are incorrect:
* Security Profiles (Option B):While mandatory forApplication-levelsteering (to identify L7 signatures), basic SD-WAN steering based on IP addresses, ports, or ISDB objects does not require security profiles to be active.
* Traffic Shaping (Option E):This is an optimization feature used to manage bandwidth once steering is already determined; it is not a prerequisite for the steering engine itself to function.
NEW QUESTION # 41
Which statement about security posture tags in FortiSASE is correct?
- A. Tags are static and do not change with endpoint status.
- B. Multiple tags can be assigned to an endpoint, but only one is used for evaluation.
- C. Only one tag can be assigned to an endpoint.
- D. Multiple tags can be assigned to an endpoint and used for evaluation.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Security posture tags in FortiSASE dynamically assess endpoint compliance based on rules like OS version, antivirus status, and FortiClient connectivity. Endpoints receive multiple tags simultaneously (e.g., for Windows 11, active AV, and SASE connection), which firewalls then evaluate in policies for ZTNA access control.

NEW QUESTION # 44
The IT team is wondering whether they will need to continue using MDM tools for future FortiClient upgrades.
What options are available for handling future FortiClient upgrades?
- A. Perform onboarding for managed endpoint users with a newer FortiClient version.
- B. A newer FortiClient version will be auto-upgraded on demand.
- C. FortiClient will need to be manually upgraded.
- D. Enable the Endpoint Upgrade feature on the FortiSASE portal.
Answer: D
Explanation:
For future FortiClient upgrades, especially within a FortiSASE environment, the best option is to enable the Endpoint Upgrade feature on the FortiSASE portal, allowing administrators to configure upgrade rules for endpoint groups, which automates the process and reduces reliance on MDM tools for simple version updates. While manual upgrades or onboarding with newer versions are possibilities, the dedicated FortiSASE Endpoint Upgrade feature is designed for controlled, large-scale, automated updates, making it the most efficient choice.
