Question 770
A FortiOS 7.6 team examines: A security reviewer needs assurance that obsolete algorithms are not silently negotiated during automated rekey. 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 security reviewer needs assurance that obsolete algorithms are not silently negotiated during automated rekey. The targeted administrative response is: Align compatible supported IKE and IPsec SA lifetime and rekey behavior across approved VPN peers and monitor rekey outcomes. The relevant failure risk is: Mismatched peer behavior during SA renewal can create periodic outages even when initial tunnel establishment succeeds. Validate with: A monitored tunnel remains usable through planned rekey with approved proposals and no unexpected loss of reachability.
For the observed situation (A security reviewer needs assurance that obsolete algorithms are not silently negotiated during automated rekey), the most specific acceptance evidence is: A monitored tunnel remains usable through planned rekey with approved proposals and no unexpected loss of reachability. It validates the recommended response: Align compatible supported IKE and IPsec SA lifetime and rekey behavior across approved VPN peers and monitor rekey outcomes. This addresses the documented risk: Mismatched peer behavior during SA renewal can create periodic outages even when initial tunnel establishment succeeds.
Incorrect Answers
IPsec tunnel mtu and fragmentation (5.1) addresses another technical failure: IPsec encapsulation overhead can make large packets fail even while small ICMP connectivity tests succeed. This choice can be useful for that problem, but it does not establish the VPN encryption rekey and lifetime compatibility control being assessed here.
VPN hub-and-spoke versus partial mesh topology (5.1) would demonstrate or implement: Controlled inter-branch tests follow only authorized hub or direct tunnel paths and stay isolated where required. This case instead tests VPN encryption rekey and lifetime compatibility; the choice measures or changes another part of the system.
IPsec phase-two traffic selector agreement (5.1) would demonstrate or implement: Mismatched traffic selectors can leave phase one healthy while the protected application subnet remains unreachable. The paired-answer requirement concerns VPN encryption rekey and lifetime compatibility; this alternative does not provide the matching intervention and separate acceptance evidence.
