Question

A network administrator wants to set up redundant IPsec VPN tunnels on FortiGate by using two IPsec VPN tunnels and static routes. All traffic must be routed through the primary tunnel when both tunnels are up. The secondary tunnel must be used only if the primary tunnel goes down. In addition, FortiGate should be able to detect a dead tunnel to speed up tunnel failover. Which two key configuration changes must the administrator make on FortiGate to meet the requirements? (Choose two.)

Options

  • AIn the phase1-interface, enable npu-offload to detect a dead tunnel.
  • BConfigure a lower distance on the static route for the primary tunnel, and a higher distance on the
  • CEnable Dead Peer Detection.
  • DUse the VPN wizard to create an IPsec template for a redundant IPsec VPN tunnel.

Explanation

First, create one phase 1 for each path-one phase 1 for the primary VPN and one for the backup VPN. You should also enable DPD on both ends. Second, create at least one phase 2 definition for each phase 1. Third, you must add at least one static route for each VPN. Routes for the primary VPN must have a lower distance (or lower priority) than the backup. This causes FortiGate to use the primary VPN while it’s available. If the primary VPN fails, then FortiGate automatically uses the backup route. Alternatively, you could use a dynamic routing protocol, such as OSPF or BGP.
