Question 240
A FortiOS 7.6 team examines: A security team wants a bounded record of blocked attempts without indiscriminately logging every internal packet. Select TWO complementary choices: the most appropriate corrective action AND the specific evidence confirming success.
Explanation
Correct Answers
For the observed situation (A security team wants a bounded record of blocked attempts without indiscriminately logging every internal packet), the most specific acceptance evidence is: An approved representative flow generates a retained event showing matched rule ID and expected enforcement action. It validates the recommended response: Enable suitable traffic logging on relevant FortiGate firewall policies and use policy identifiers to connect observations to rules. This addresses the documented risk: Without consistent allowed and denied event visibility, teams cannot determine which policy produced an outage.
The reported FortiOS 7.6 condition is: A security team wants a bounded record of blocked attempts without indiscriminately logging every internal packet. The targeted administrative response is: Enable suitable traffic logging on relevant FortiGate firewall policies and use policy identifiers to connect observations to rules. The relevant failure risk is: Without consistent allowed and denied event visibility, teams cannot determine which policy produced an outage. Validate with: An approved representative flow generates a retained event showing matched rule ID and expected enforcement action.
Incorrect Answers
Ldap directory authentication configuration (2.3) would demonstrate or implement: A working network route to the directory does not prove bind credentials or group attribute mappings are valid. This case instead tests Firewall policy logging and traceability; the choice measures or changes another part of the system.
Fsso collector agent mapping (2.4) would demonstrate or implement: A test logon appears with the expected user and client IP, and the corresponding policy match is confirmed. The required paired action and test concerns Firewall policy logging and traceability; a passing result for this alternative could leave that requirement unresolved.
IP pool source nat address selection (2.2) addresses another technical failure: An exhausted or misassigned translation pool can prevent sessions or violate source-IP allowlisting at a partner. The paired-answer requirement concerns Firewall policy logging and traceability; this alternative does not provide the matching intervention and separate acceptance evidence.
