[All NSE6_FAZ-7.2 Questions]

An administrator has configured the following settings:

What is the purpose of executing these commands?

ATo record the hash value and authentication code of log files.

BTo encrypt log transfer between FortiAnalyzer and other devices.

CTo verify the integrity of the log files received.

DTo create the secure channel used by the OFTP process.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The purpose of executing the provided CLI commands, which include setting the log-checksum to md5-auth, is to ensure the integrity of the log files. This setting is used to record the MD5 hash value of log files, which is a widely used cryptographic hash function that produces a 128-bit (16-byte) hash value. By using MD5 authentication, FortiAnalyzer ensures that the log files have not been altered or tampered with during transit, thereby verifying their integrity upon receipt. This is not related to encrypting log transfers, scheduling reports, or creating secure channels for OFTP (Over-the-FortiGate Protocol) processes.

Yes, it seems like a combination of ensuring data integrity and security during transfers.

So, the commands are used for both verifying integrity and encrypting the logs?

That's a good point, security is crucial in log file transfers.

I believe it could also be to encrypt the log transfer for security.

I agree with Kandis, it's important to make sure the log files are intact.

I see where you're coming from, Cheryl. Encryption would definitely add another layer of security to the log transfer process.

I believe the answer could also be to encrypt the log transfer between FortiAnalyzer and other devices (option B). That way, the logs are secure during transit.

I agree with Elroy. It makes sense to ensure the logs are valid and have not been tampered with during transfer.

Alright, let's put our heads together and figure this out. I'm still a little torn between C and D, but I think C is the safer bet. What do you all think?

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. Option C about verifying the integrity of the log files seems the most straightforward answer to me. We want to make sure the logs we're receiving are the same as the ones that were sent.
