NSE4_FGT-7.0 · Question #30

Which two actions can you perform only from the root FortiGate in a Security Fabric? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is A. Shut down/reboot a downstream FortiGate device. B. Disable FortiAnalyzer logging for a downstream FortiGate device. The root FortiGate in a Security Fabric has exclusive control over system-level actions for its downstream members and centralized logging configuration.

Why each option

The root FortiGate in a Security Fabric has exclusive control over system-level actions for its downstream members and centralized logging configuration.

AShut down/reboot a downstream FortiGate device.Correct

The root FortiGate has central control over its Security Fabric members, allowing it to initiate system-level operations like shutdown or reboot on downstream FortiGate devices directly from the fabric interface. This centralized management simplifies administration of the entire fabric by providing a single point of control.

BDisable FortiAnalyzer logging for a downstream FortiGate device.Correct

FortiAnalyzer logging configuration for all Security Fabric members is managed centrally from the root FortiGate. The root FortiGate acts as the central point for enabling or disabling logging to FortiAnalyzer for its downstream fabric members, ensuring consistent policy enforcement and log management across the fabric.

CLog in to a downstream FortiSwitch device.

Logging into a downstream FortiSwitch device can be done directly from its managing FortiGate or via its own management IP, not exclusively from the root FortiGate of the fabric.

DBan or unban compromised hosts.

Banning or unbanning compromised hosts is typically a function of FortiClient EMS, FortiManager, or individual FortiGate devices, and is not an action exclusively performed by the root FortiGate within the Security Fabric.
