NSE4 Question #189: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Each UTM feature has configurable UTM objects such as sensors, profiles or lists that define how the feature will function.How are UTM features applied to traffic?

Options

• AOne or more UTM features are enabled in a firewall policy.
• BIn the system configuration for that UTM feature, you can identify the policies to which the feature
• CEnable the appropriate UTM objects and identify one of them as the default.
• DFor each UTM object, identify which policy will use it.

Explanation

UTM features are applied to traffic by enabling and configuring the desired security profiles or sensors directly within FortiGate firewall policies.

Common mistakes.

• B. While UTM features have system-wide configurations, the method of application to traffic is by referencing the UTM profiles within a firewall policy, not by identifying policies from within the UTM feature's configuration.
• C. Enabling UTM objects and setting a default does not automatically apply them to traffic; they must still be explicitly referenced by a firewall policy.
• D. The firewall policy dictates which UTM object it will use, meaning you define the UTM object and then reference it in the policy, rather than assigning policies to UTM objects.
