Question 230
A FortiOS 7.6 team examines: An administrator expects a deny policy to pass traffic for deep inspection rather than reject it. Select TWO complementary choices: the most appropriate corrective action AND the specific evidence confirming success.
Explanation
Correct Answers
For the observed situation (An administrator expects a deny policy to pass traffic for deep inspection rather than reject it), the most specific acceptance evidence is: An authorized test crosses the expected policy and produces the configured profile action and corresponding log. It validates the recommended response: Attach appropriate supported security inspection profiles to the specific FortiGate firewall policies handling required traffic. This addresses the documented risk: Creating a web-filter or IPS profile alone offers no protection when the matched allow policy does not apply it.
The reported FortiOS 7.6 condition is: An administrator expects a deny policy to pass traffic for deep inspection rather than reject it. The targeted administrative response is: Attach appropriate supported security inspection profiles to the specific FortiGate firewall policies handling required traffic. The relevant failure risk is: Creating a web-filter or IPS profile alone offers no protection when the matched allow policy does not apply it. Validate with: An authorized test crosses the expected policy and produces the configured profile action and corresponding log.

Fsso login troubleshooting and stale mappings (2.4) addresses another technical failure: Guessing at a firewall address rule may conceal stale logon state or an actual collector synchronization failure. The case states: the most appropriate corrective action AND the specific evidence confirming success. The most direct paired action and test is: An authorized test crosses the expected policy and produces the configured profile action and corresponding log.
Interface-based source nat for outbound clients (2.2) would demonstrate or implement: An external test endpoint sees the approved translated source address and the return connection succeeds. The required paired action and test concerns Security profiles attached to permitted policies; a passing result for this alternative could leave that requirement unresolved.
Authentication session visibility and revocation (2.3) would demonstrate or implement: Removed group membership may not immediately terminate an already established authenticated session without lifecycle controls. The paired-answer requirement concerns Security profiles attached to permitted policies; this alternative does not provide the matching intervention and separate acceptance evidence.
