Refer to the exhibit, which shows an ADVPN network.



The client behind Spoke-1 generates traffic to the device located behind Spoke-2.
What is the first message that the hub sends to Spoke-1 to bring up the dynamic tunnel?

  1. Shortcut query
  2. Shortcut offer
  3. Shortcut reply
  4. Shortcut forward

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In an ADVPN (Auto-Discovery VPN) network, a dynamic VPN tunnel is established on-demand between spokes to optimize traffic flow and reduce latency.

Process:
1. Traffic Initiation:
A client behind Spoke-1 sends traffic to a device behind Spoke-2.

The traffic initially flows through the hub, following the pre-established overlay tunnel.

2. Hub Detection:
The hub detects that Spoke-1 is communicating with Spoke-2 and determines that a direct shortcut tunnel between the spokes can optimize the connection.

3. Shortcut Offer:
The hub sends a "Shortcut Offer" message to Spoke-1, informing it that a direct dynamic tunnel toSpoke-2 is possible.

4. Tunnel Establishment:
Spoke-1 and Spoke-2 then negotiate and establish a direct IPsec tunnel for communication.



What is the initial step performed by FortiGate when handling the first packets of a session?

  1. Installation of the session key in the network processor (NP)
  2. Data encryption and decryption
  3. Security inspections such as ACL, HPE, and IP integrity header checking
  4. Offloading the packets directly to the content processor (CP)

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

When FortiGate processes the first packets of a session, it follows a sequence of steps to determine how the traffic should be handled before establishing a session. The initial step involves:
Access Control List (ACL) checks: Determines if the traffic should be allowed or blocked based on predefined security rules.
Hardware Packet Engine (HPE) inspections: Ensures that packet headers are valid and comply with protocol standards.
IP Integrity Header Checking: Verifies if the IP headers are intact and not malformed or spoofed. Once these security inspections are completed and the session is validated, FortiGate then installs the session in hardware (if offloading is enabled) or processes it in software.



An administrator applied a block-all IPS profile for client and server targets to secure the server, but the database team reported the application stopped working immediately after. How can an administrator apply IPS in a way that ensures it does not disrupt existing applications in the network?

  1. Use an IPS profile with all signatures in monitor mode and verify patterns before blocking.
  2. Limit the IPS profile to server targets only to avoid blocking connections from the server to clients.
  3. Select flow mode in the IPS profile to accurately analyze application patterns.
  4. Set the IPS profile signature action to default to discard all possible false positives.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Applying an aggressive IPS profile without prior testing can disrupt legitimate applications by incorrectly identifying normal traffic as malicious. To prevent disruptions while still monitoring for threats:

Enable IPS in "Monitor Mode" first:
This allows FortiGate to log and analyze potential threats without actively blocking traffic. Administrators can review logs and fine-tune IPS signatures to minimize false positives before switching to blocking mode.
Verify and adjust signature patterns:
Some signatures might trigger unnecessary blocks for legitimate application traffic. By analyzing logs, administrators can disable or modify specific rules causing false positives.



An administrator is extensively using VXLAN on FortiGate.
Which specialized acceleration hardware does FortiGate need to improve its performance?

  1. NP7
  2. SP5
  3. 9
  4. NTurbo

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) is an overlay network technology that extends Layer 2 networks over Layer 3 infrastructure.
When VXLAN is used extensively on FortiGate, hardware acceleration is crucial for maintaining performance.
NP7 (Network Processor 7) is Fortinet's latest network processor designed to accelerate high- performance networking features, including:
VXLAN encapsulation/decapsulation
IPsec VPN offloading
Firewall policy enforcement
Advanced threat protection at wire speed

NP7 significantly reduces latency and improves throughput when handling VXLAN traffic, making it the best choice for large-scale VXLAN deployments.



Refer to the exhibit, which shows a partial enterprise network.



An administrator would like the area 0.0.0.0 to detect the external network.
What must the administrator configure?

  1. Enable RIP redistribution on FortiGate B.
  2. Configure a distribute-route-map-in on FortiGate
  3. Configure a virtual link between FortiGate A and B.
  4. Set the area 0.0.0.l type to stub on FortiGate A and B.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The diagram shows a multi-area OSPF network where:
FortiGate A is in OSPF Area 0 (Backbone area).
FortiGate B is in OSPF Area 0.0.0.1 and is connected to an RIP network.

To ensure that OSPF Area 0 (0.0.0.0) learns routes from the external RIP network, FortiGate B must redistribute RIP routes into OSPF.

Steps to achieve this:
1. Enable route redistribution on FortiGate B to inject RIP-learned routes into OSPF.
2. This allows OSPF Area 0.0.0.1 to forward RIP routes to OSPF Area 0 (0.0.0.0), making the external network visible.



Refer to the exhibit, which shows the ADVPN network topology and partial BGP configuration.





Which two parameters must an administrator configure in the config neighbor range for spokes shown in the exhibit? (Choose two.)

  1. set max-neighbor-num 2
  2. set neighbor-group advpn
  3. set route-reflector-client enable
  4. set prefix 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

In the given ADVPN (Auto-Discovery VPN) topology, BGP is being used to dynamically establish routes between spokes. The neighbor-range configuration is crucial for simplifying BGP peer setup by automatically assigning neighbors based on their IP range.

set neighbor-group advpn
The neighbor-group parameter is used to apply pre-defined settings (such as AS number) to dynamically discovered BGP neighbors.
The advpn neighbor-group is already defined in the configuration, and assigning it to the neighbor- range ensures consistent BGP settings for all spoke neighbors.

set prefix 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0
This command allows dynamic BGP peer discovery by defining a range of potential neighbor IPs (172.16.1.1 - 172.16.1.255).
Since each spoke has a unique /32 IP within this subnet, this ensures that any spoke within the 172.16.1.0/24 range can automatically establish a BGP session with the hub.



Which two statements about IKEv2 are true if an administrator decides to implement IKEv2 in the VPN topology? (Choose two.)

  1. It includes stronger Diffie-Hellman (DH) groups, such as Elliptic Curve (ECP) groups.
  2. It supports interoperability with devices using IKEv1.
  3. It exchanges a minimum of two messages to establish a secure tunnel.
  4. It supports the extensible authentication protocol (EAP).

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

IKEv2 (Internet Key Exchange version 2) is an improvement over IKEv1, offering enhanced security, efficiency, and flexibility in VPN configurations.

It includes stronger Diffie-Hellman (DH) groups, such as Elliptic Curve (ECP) groups. IKEv2 supports stronger cryptographic algorithms, including Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) groups such as ECP256 and ECP384, providing improved security compared to IKEv1.

It supports the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). IKEv2 natively supports EAP authentication, which allows integration with external authentication mechanisms such as RADIUS, certificates, and smart cards. This is particularly useful for remote access VPNs where user authentication must be flexible and secure.



An administrator must enable direct communication between multiple spokes in a company's network. Each spoke has more than one internet connection. The requirement is for the spokes to connect directly without passing through the hub, and for the links to automatically switch to the best available connection. How can this automatic detection and optimal link utilization between spokes be achieved?

  1. Set up OSPF routing over static VPN tunnels between spokes.
  2. Utilize ADVPN 2.0 to facilitate dynamic direct tunnels and automatic link optimization.
  3. Establish static VPN tunnels between spokes with predefined backup routes.
  4. Implement SD-WAN policies at the hub to manage spoke link quality.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

ADVPN (Auto-Discovery VPN) 2.0 is the optimal solution for enabling direct spoke-to-spoke communication without passing through the hub, while also allowing automatic link selection based on quality metrics.
Dynamic Direct Tunnels:
ADVPN 2.0 allows spokes to establish direct IPsec tunnels dynamically based on traffic patterns, reducing latency and improving performance.

Unlike static VPNs, spokes do not need to pre-configure tunnels for each other.
Automatic Link Optimization:
ADVPN 2.0 monitors the quality of multiple internet connections on each spoke. It automatically switches to the best available connection when the primary link degrades or fails.
This is achieved by dynamically adjusting BGP-based routing or leveraging SD-WAN integration.

q. 289 - the correct answer should be b not d, since the question asks for the most secure way to provide access to a s3 bucket (a single one), and by principle of the least privilege you should not be giving access to all buckets.
