Why each option
FortiGate units can be managed using secure protocols like HTTPS and SSH, less secure protocols like HTTP and Telnet, and monitored using SNMP, with PING for connectivity checks.
FortiGate units can be accessed and managed via HTTPS and HTTP for the web-based GUI, SSH and TELNET for the command-line interface, and monitored using SNMP. PING, while not a management protocol itself, is commonly enabled on management interfaces for basic connectivity verification, which is an aspect of network access to the device for administration.
FTP, NNTP, TCP, and WINS are not standard protocols for direct administrative access to a FortiGate.
NNTP, SMTP, and DHCP are not protocols used for direct administrative access to a FortiGate.
FTP, RLOGIN, and DDNS are not standard protocols for direct administrative access to a FortiGate.
UDP, NNTP, and SMTP are not protocols used for direct administrative access to a FortiGate.
