FCP_FGT_AD-7.6 · Question #96

Refer to the exhibit. Which two statements about the FortiGuard connection are true? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is A. FortiGate is using the default port for FortiGuard communication. C. The weight increases as the number of failed packets rises. In the exhibit, the FortiGuard connection details reveal two key facts. First, FortiGate is communicating on the default port for FortiGuard-typically UDP/8888 or TCP/443 depending on the protocol selected (answer A). Second, the exhibit shows a 'weight' value associated with…

Explanation

In the exhibit, the FortiGuard connection details reveal two key facts. First, FortiGate is communicating on the default port for FortiGuard-typically UDP/8888 or TCP/443 depending on the protocol selected (answer A). Second, the exhibit shows a 'weight' value associated with FortiGuard servers; this weight is a penalty metric that increases as the number of failed or timed-out packets to that server rises, causing FortiGate to prefer lower-weight (more reliable) servers (answer C). FortiGate uses pre-configured server IP addresses or ANYCAST addresses, not DNS lookup, for FortiGuard communication. Unreliable protocols (UDP) are already the default; reliable (TCP) can be configured but that is not what the exhibit highlights.
