FCP_FGT_AD-7.6 · Question #2

An administrator wanted to configure an IPS sensor to block traffic that triggers a signature set number of times during a specific time period. How can the administrator achieve the objective?

The correct answer is D. Use IPS signatures, rate-mode periodical option. You can also add rate-based signatures to block specific traffic when the threshold is exceeded. On the CLI, If you set the command rate-mode to periodical, FortiGate triggers the action when the threshold is reached during the configured Duration time period.
