Fortinet FCP_FMG_AD-7.4 FCP - FortiManager 7.4 Administrator Exam Practice Test

The commandexecute fmprofile import-profile ADOM2 3547 /tmp/myfileis used to import a system template profile from the FortiManager file system. The path/tmp/myfileindicates a location in the FortiManager's local file system, from which the profile will be imported into the specified ADOM.

Options B, C, and D are incorrect because:

B, C, and Dsuggest importing from different databases, which is not accurate since the command explicitly refers to the file system location.

FortiManager References:

Refer to FortiManager 7.4 CLI Reference Guide: Commands for Profile Management.

This command is used to retrieve the current running configuration from the specified FortiGate device and updates the FortiManager's device database accordingly.

The objects highlighted in the image (DMZ_SUBNET, ISP1_SUBNET, LAN_SUBNET) aremetadata variables.

C.They can be used as variables in scripts.

These metadata variables are placeholders that can be used in FortiManager scripts to dynamically insert specific values, enabling script flexibility and scalability across multiple devices or ADOMs.

Options A, B, and D are incorrect because:

Asuggests optional or required settings, which do not apply to metadata variables.

Bimplies they are available across all ADOMs by default, which is not always the case.

Dstates they cannot be created in the global database ADOM, but metadata variables are typically managed within ADOMs and can be utilized globally based on specific configurations.

In the context of the FortiManager JSON API, thesetmethod is used tocreate new objectsoroverwrite existing ones. The API allows administrators to manage FortiManager and its associated devices by automating tasks like configuration changes, policy updates, and object creation.

Explanation of Options:

A. Set:

This istrue. Thesetmethod is used to create a new object if it does not exist or overwrite an existing object if it already exists. This method is frequently used in API requests to configure settings and apply changes on FortiManager.

B. Add:

This isfalse. Theaddmethod is used to add new objects without overwriting any existing ones. It is used when you want to create a new entry and ensure it doesn't conflict with or replace an existing object.

C. Exec:

This isfalse. Theexecmethod is used to execute specific actions or commands, rather than creating or modifying objects. This is typically used for actions like running scripts or executing operational commands on FortiManager or FortiGate.

D. Update:

This isfalse. While "update" might seem relevant, FortiManager's API does not specifically use an "update" method for modifying or creating objects. Thesetmethod serves that function by both creating new objects and overwriting existing ones.

The configuration shown in the exhibit sets theworkspace-mode to normal. The workspace mode in FortiManager defines how configuration changes and administrative tasks are handled, specifically regarding locking and collaboration in ADOMs (Administrative Domains).

Understanding the workspace modes:

Normal Mode:In this mode, only one administrator at a time can lock and edit an ADOM. The changes made by one administrator must be completed and saved before another administrator can make changes. It prevents concurrent read-write access within the same ADOM.

Workflow Mode:This mode allows multiple administrators to work on different tasks within the same ADOM, but changes still need to be approved before being committed.

Explanation of Options:

A. You can validate administrator login attempts through external servers.

This option is unrelated to the workspace mode. External authentication servers can be used for administrator logins, but that is a different configuration setting (not related to workspace-mode).

B. The same administrator can lock more than one ADOM at the same time.

This istrue. InNormal mode, an administrator can lock multiple ADOMs, meaning they can work on more than one ADOM simultaneously, but each ADOM can only be accessed by one administrator at a time for read-write purposes.

C. Two or more administrators can make configuration changes at the same time, in the same ADOM.

This isfalse. InNormal mode, onlyone administratorcan have read-write access to an ADOM at a time. If another administrator attempts to make changes, they must wait until the ADOM is unlocked by the first administrator.

D. Concurrent read-write access to an ADOM is disabled.

This istrue. InNormal mode, concurrent read-write access is disabled. This means only one administrator at a time can make changes to an ADOM. Other administrators can view the ADOM in read-only mode but cannot make changes until the ADOM is unlocked.

Option B: It provides the option to preview only the policy package changes before installing them.This is correct. The Quick Install option in FortiManager provides a preview of policy changes before they are applied, allowing administrators to review and confirm the changes.

Option D: It installs device-level changes on the FortiGate device without launching the Install Wizard.This is correct. Quick Install allows for the immediate installation of device-level changes, such as interface or routing configurations, directly onto the FortiGate without going through the full Install Wizard.

Explanation of Incorrect Options:

Option A: It installs provisioning template changes on the FortiGate deviceis incorrect because Quick Install does not specifically deal with provisioning templates.

Option C: It installs all the changes in the device database first and the administrator must reinstall the changes on the FortiGate deviceis incorrect because Quick Install directly applies changes to the FortiGate device, not requiring a separate reinstall step.

FortiManager References:

Refer to "FortiManager Administration Guide" for details on "Quick Install" functionality under "Device Management."

In the exhibit, there is aPer-Device MappingforLocal-FortiGatewith an IP/Netmask of192.168.1.0/24. This means that when the firewall address objectLOCAL_SUBNETis installed onLocal-FortiGate, the per-device mapping will override the general address object value of10.0.5.0/24. Therefore, the IP/Netmask installed onLocal-FortiGatewill be192.168.1.0/24.

When a FortiGate device, like the ISFW (Internal Segmentation Firewall), is moved from one ADOM to another in FortiManager, the status of the device in the new ADOM will temporarily show some level of inconsistency or unknown state until the ADOM fully syncs and integrates the device.

In the provided options, we are analyzing the FortiManager diagnose dvm device list output for the ISFW device.

Explanation of the Outputs:

Option A:

The output shows that the device has the following status:

dev-db: not modified

conf: in sync

cond: OK

dm: retrieved

The key part here is the pkg: [unknown]. This suggests that the configuration package for the ADOM in the new environment is still in anunknown state, which happens right after moving the device to a new ADOM. FortiManager needs time to process the device's configuration before syncing it properly.

Option B:

This output shows thepkg: [out-of-sync]. This occursaftersome configuration mismatch is identified, but it is not the immediate output after moving a device to a new ADOM.

Option C:

This output showspkg: [never-installed], which indicates that no package was ever installed on the device. This status typically appears when a device is newly added to FortiManager but not immediately after moving it between ADOMs.

Option D:

This output showspkg: [imported], which indicates that the device configuration has been successfully imported into the new ADOM. This would occur after the device is fully synced, but not immediately after moving the device to a new ADOM.

Conclusion:

The output that is displayedimmediately after movingthe ISFW device from one ADOM to another isOption A, where the package status is still unknown (pkg: [unknown]) because FortiManager has not yet fully synchronized the device's configuration in the new ADOM.

When adding a FortiGate device to FortiManager that is operating behind a NAT device, and the FortiManager NATed IP address is configured under the system administration settings, FortiManager will set the FortiManager NATed IP address on the FortiGate device during the discovery process. This ensures that the FortiGate knows how to reach the FortiManager through the NAT device.

Options A, B, and C are incorrect because:

Ais incorrect because the discovery process also requires knowing the NATed IP to establish a connection, not just the serial number.

Bis incorrect because FortiManager does not set the NAT device's IP address on the FortiGate.

Cis incorrect because it implies that the NAT device IP is set on FortiGate, which is not the expected outcome.

FortiManager References:

Refer to FortiManager 7.4 Administrator Guide: Device Discovery and Management with NAT.

Option B: It allows FortiManager to respond to requests for FortiGuard services from FortiGate devices.This is the correct answer. When Service Access is enabled on FortiManager, it allows FortiManager to act as a local FortiGuard server for the managed FortiGate devices. This enables the FortiManager to respond to requests for FortiGuard services, such as updates for antivirus, web filtering, and other security services.

Explanation of Incorrect Options:

Option A: It allows administrative access to FortiManageris incorrect because Service Access is specifically for FortiGuard service communication, not for administrative access.

Option C: It allows third-party applications to gain read/write access to FortiManageris incorrect because Service Access does not provide API or third-party access capabilities.

Option D: It allows FortiManager to determine the connection status of managed devicesis incorrect because Service Access does not directly manage or check connectivity status of devices; it is used for FortiGuard service requests.

FortiManager References:

Refer to the "FortiManager Administration Guide," particularly the sections on "Service Access Settings" and "FortiGuard Services."

FortiManager backups include:

A. All devices— This includes all device configurations managed by FortiManager, such as firewall policies, objects, and other settings.

D. Flash configuration— This consists of local FortiManager configurations stored in flash memory, such as system settings, scripts, and other locally-stored configurations.

Options B and C are incorrect because:

B (Firmware images)are not typically included in a FortiManager backup. Firmware images are usually stored separately and managed through a different process.

C (FortiGuard database)is incorrect as the FortiGuard database, which contains threat intelligence and security signatures, is not part of the standard FortiManager backup.

Refer to FortiManager 7.4 Administrator Guide: Backup and Restore Processes.

When push updates are failing on a FortiGate device behind a NAT device, the administrator should check:

A.That the override server IP address is set on FortiManager and the NAT device.

The override server IP should be configured to ensure that FortiManager uses the correct IP address that can traverse the NAT to reach the FortiGate device.

D.That the virtual IP address and correct ports are set on the NAT device.

The NAT device must have the correct virtual IP (VIP) configured to map the FortiGate's internal IP to an external address, along with the correct ports needed for communication.

Options B and C are incorrect because:

Bsuggests setting the external IP on the NAT device to DHCP, which is not relevant to solving the push update issue.

Cimplies configuring NAT device IP and ports on FortiManager, which is less likely needed compared to configuring the correct VIP and ports.

FortiManager References:

Refer to FortiManager 7.4 Administrator Guide: Device Management and NAT Configuration.

When a root FortiGate device is added to a specific ADOM (like Training), the downstream devices (those that are part of the Security Fabric) will not automatically be authorized in that ADOM. They will typically appear as unauthorized until explicitly authorized by an administrator.

Security profiles (such as antivirus, web filtering, application control, etc.) are stored in the ADOM-level database because they can be shared across multiple devices within the same ADOM.

In workflow mode, changes made by junior administrators can be submitted for review. The administrator can then approve or reject these changes before they are applied. This ensures proper oversight and control over policy changes.
