Sample Question and Answers

QUESTION 1
SD-WAN interacts with many other FortiGate features. Some of them are required to allow SD-WAN to steer the traffic.
Which three configuration elements must you configure before FortiGate can steer traffic according to SD-WAN rules? (Choose three.)

A. Firewall policies
B. Security profiles
C. Interfaces
D. Routing
E. Traffic shaping

Answer: A, C, D

Explanation:
According to the SD-WAN 7.6 Core Administrator study guide and the FortiOS 7.6 Administration
Guide, for the FortiGate SD-WAN engine to successfully steer traffic using SD-WAN rules, three
fundamental configuration components must be in place. This is because the SD-WAN rule lookup
occurs only after certain initial conditions are met in the packet flow:
Interfaces (Option C): You must first define the physical or logical interfaces (such as ISP links, LTE, or
VPN tunnels) as SD-WAN members. These members are then typically grouped into SD-WAN Zones.
Without designated member interfaces, there is no "pool" of links for the SD-WAN rules to select from.
Routing (Option D): For a packet to even be considered by the SD-WAN engine, there must be a
matching route in the Forwarding Information Base (FIB). Usually, this is a static route where the
destination is the network you want to reach, and the gateway interface is set to the SD-WAN virtual
interface (or a specific SD-WAN zone). If there is no route pointing to SD-WAN, the FortiGate will use
other routing table entries (like a standard static route) and bypass the SD-WAN rule-based steering logic entirely.
Firewall Policies (Option A): In FortiOS, no traffic is allowed to pass through the device unless a
Firewall Policy permits it. To steer traffic, you must have a policy where the Incoming Interface is the
internal network and the Outgoing Interface is the SD-WAN zone (or the virtual-wan-link). The SDWAN
rule selection happens during the "Dirty" session state, which requires a policy match to
proceed with the session creation.
Why other options are incorrect:
Security Profiles (Option B): While mandatory for Application-level steering (to identify L7
signatures), basic SD-WAN steering based on IP addresses, ports, or ISDB objects does not require
security profiles to be active.
Traffic Shaping (Option E): This is an optimization feature used to manage bandwidth once steering is
already determined; it is not a prerequisite for the steering engine itself to function.

QUESTION 2

The IT team is wondering whether they will need to continue using MDM tools for future FortiClient upgrades.
What options are available for handling future FortiClient upgrades?

A. Enable the Endpoint Upgrade feature on the FortiSASE portal.
B. FortiClient will need to be manually upgraded.
C. Perform onboarding for managed endpoint users with a newer FortiClient version.
D. A newer FortiClient version will be auto-upgraded on demand.

Answer: A

Explanation:
According to the FortiSASE 7.6 Feature Administration Guide and the latest updates to the NSE 5
SASE curriculum, FortiSASE has introduced native lifecycle management for FortiClient agents to
reduce the operational burden on IT teams who previously relied solely on third-party MDM (Mobile
Device Management) or GPO (Group Policy Objects) for every update.
The Endpoint Upgrade feature, found under System > Endpoint Upgrade in the FortiSASE portal,
allows administrators to perform the following:
Centralized Version Control: Administrators can see which versions are currently deployed and which
"Recommended" versions are available from FortiGuard.
Scheduled Rollouts: You can choose to upgrade all endpoints or specific endpoint groups at a
designated time, ensuring that upgrades do not disrupt business operations.
Status Monitoring: The portal provides a real-time dashboard showing the progress of the upgrade
(e.g., Downloading, Installing, Reboot Pending, or Success).
Manual vs. Managed: While MDM is still highly recommended for the initial onboarding (the first
time FortiClient is installed and connected to the SASE cloud), all subsequent upgrades can be
handled natively by the FortiSASE portal.
Why other options are incorrect:
Option B: Manual upgrades are inefficient for large-scale deployments (~400 users in this scenario)
and are not the intended "feature-rich" solution provided by FortiSASE.
Option C: "Onboarding" refers to the initial setup. Re-onboarding every time a version changes
would be redundant and counterproductive.
Option D: While the system can manage the upgrade, it is not "auto-upgraded on demand" by the
client itself without administrative configuration in the portal. The administrator must still define the
target version and schedule.

QUESTION 3
Refer to the exhibit.
The exhibit shows output of the command diagnose sys sdwan service collected on a FortiGate device.
The administrator wants to know through which interface FortiGate will steer traffic from local users
on subnet 10.0.1.0.255.255.192 and with a destination of the social media application Facebook.
Based on the exhibits, which two statements are correct? (Choose two.)

A. FortiGate steers traffic for social media applications according to the service rule 2 and steers traffic through port2.
B. There is no service defined for the Facebook application, so FortiGate applies service rule 3 and directs the traffic to headquarters.
C. When FortiGate cannot recognize the application of the flow, it load balances the traffic through the tunnels HQ_T1, HQ_T2, HQ_T3.
D. When FortiGate cannot recognize the application of the flow, it steers the traffic through the preferred member of rule 3, HQ_T1.

Answer: A, C

Explanation:
"If a flow is identified as belonging to a defined application category (such as social media), FortiGate
will match it to the corresponding service rule (rule 2) and route it through the specified interface,
such as port2. However, if the application is not recognized during the session setup, the system
defaults to load balancing the traffic using the available tunnels according to the policy for
unclassified traffic, ensuring continuous connectivity while waiting for application classification."
This guarantees both performance and resilience.

QUESTION 4

You have configured the performance SLA with the probe mode as Prefer Passive.
What are two observable impacts of this configuration? (Choose two.)

A. FortiGate can offload the traffic that is subject to passive monitoring to hardware.
B. FortiGate passively monitors the member if ICMP traffic is passing through the member.
C. During passive monitoring, the SLA performance rule cannot detect dead members.
D. After FortiGate switches to active mode, the SLA performance rule falls back to passive monitoring after 3 minutes.
E. FortiGate passively monitors the member if TCP traffic is passing through the member.

Answer: C, E

Explanation:
In the SD-WAN 7.6 Core Administrator curriculum, the "Prefer Passive" probe mode is a hybrid
monitoring strategy designed to minimize the overhead of synthetic traffic (probes) while
