Question 130
A FortiOS 7.6 team examines: A customer reports intermittent new-session failures although established sessions still pass. Select TWO complementary choices: the most appropriate corrective action AND the specific evidence confirming success.
Explanation
Correct Answers
The reported FortiOS 7.6 condition is: A customer reports intermittent new-session failures although established sessions still pass. The targeted administrative response is: Investigate FortiGate memory usage and conserve-mode events, identify responsible features or load, and make supported capacity or tuning corrections. The relevant failure risk is: Conserve mode can restrict new traffic or inspection behavior while the underlying memory pressure persists. Validate with: Memory metrics and event logs confirm the appliance returns to normal operation and new sessions are accepted.
For the observed situation (A customer reports intermittent new-session failures although established sessions still pass), the most specific acceptance evidence is: Memory metrics and event logs confirm the appliance returns to normal operation and new sessions are accepted. It validates the recommended response: Investigate FortiGate memory usage and conserve-mode events, identify responsible features or load, and make supported capacity or tuning corrections. This addresses the documented risk: Conserve mode can restrict new traffic or inspection behavior while the underlying memory pressure persists.
Incorrect Answers
Fortigate vm deployment responsibilities (1.5) would demonstrate or implement: A controlled spoke-to-service flow traverses the intended FortiGate VM and returns through a valid symmetric route. This choice can be useful for that problem, but it does not establish the Memory conserve mode operational response control being assessed here.
Configuration backup and controlled restore (1.1) would demonstrate or implement: An untested backup from the wrong appliance model or firmware can fail restoration or alter critical settings. The required paired action and test concerns Memory conserve mode operational response; a passing result for this alternative could leave that requirement unresolved.
Fgcp cluster members and heartbeat health (1.3) addresses another technical failure: A cluster can split or fail to form when firmware, HA parameters or heartbeat interfaces are inconsistent. The paired-answer requirement concerns Memory conserve mode operational response; this alternative does not provide the matching intervention and separate acceptance evidence.
