Options

  • ACreate firewall policies to allow and control traffic between the source and destination IP

Explanation

This question asks for three essential configuration steps required on both FortiGate devices to establish an IPsec VPN tunnel between them.

Common mistakes.

  • B. Configuring user groups is relevant for client-to-site VPNs or user-based access control, but it's not a mandatory step for establishing a basic site-to-site IPsec tunnel between two FortiGate devices.
  • C. FortiGates operate in various modes, but there isn't a specific 'IPsec VPN mode' for the entire device; IPsec VPNs are a feature configured within the device's existing operating mode.
