Fortinet Exam NSE7_PBC-7.2 Topic 1 Question 2 Discussion

Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE7_PBC-7.2 exam

Question #: 2
Topic #: 1

You have been tasked with deploying FortiGate VMs in a highly available topology on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. The requirements for your deployment are as follows:

* You must deploy two FortiGate VMs in a single virtual private cloud (VPC), with an external elastic load balancer which will distribute ingress traffic from the internet to both FortiGate VMs in an active-active topology.

* Each FortiGate VM must have two elastic network interfaces: one will connect to a public subnet and other will connect to a private subnet.

* To maintain high availability, you must deploy the FortiGate VMs in two different availability zones.

How many public and private subnets will you need to configure within the VPC?

AOne public subnet and two private subnets

BTwo public subnets and one private subnet

CTwo public subnets and two private subnets

DOne public subnet and one private subnet

I think so. The only tricky part might be setting up the routing tables to make sure the traffic flows properly between the public and private subnets. But as long as we configure that correctly, we should be good to go.

Exactly. And the external elastic load balancer will distribute traffic from the internet to the public subnets, which will then route the traffic to the private subnets where the FortiGate VMs are located. Simple enough, right?

Absolutely. It's a robust design to ensure continuous operation of the FortiGate VMs.

Got it. And the external elastic load balancer will make sure traffic is evenly distributed to the FortiGate VMs.

Exactly, two public subnets and two private subnets spread across two availability zones.

So, that means I will need a total of four subnets, right?

Yes, you will need to configure one public subnet and one private subnet in each availability zone.

I agree. Since each FortiGate VM needs two network interfaces, one for the public subnet and one for the private subnet, that means we'll need a total of four subnets - two public and two private, one of each in each availability zone.

Okay, let's think this through. We need two FortiGate VMs in a highly available topology, so we'll need to deploy them in two different availability zones. That means we'll need a public subnet and a private subnet in each availability zone, right?
