A global organization with cloud networks deployed in several AWS regions wants to set up next-generation firewall (NGFW) protection using FortiGate Cloud-Native Firewall (CNF).
What are two deployment considerations for the organization? (Choose two.)
Regional Deployment:
For a global organization with cloud networks in multiple AWS regions, a separate FortiGate Cloud-Native Firewall (CNF) instance is required for each AWS region to provide localized protection and meet compliance requirements. This ensures that each region has its own dedicated NGFW protection tailored to its specific needs (Option B).
Multi-Account Association:
FortiGate CNF supports associating multiple AWS accounts with a single CNF instance. This feature is beneficial for organizations that operate in a multi-account setup, allowing centralized management and security policies across different accounts (Option C).
Other Options Analysis:
Option A is incorrect because AWS Firewall Manager is a different service and is not required to provision a CNF instance.
Option D is incorrect because a single CNF instance cannot protect multiple AWS regions due to regional isolation in AWS.

Your organization is deciding between deploying an active-active (A-A) or active-passive (A-P) FortiGate high availability (HA) cluster in AWS cloud.
Which two statements are true about A-A clusters compared to A-P clusters? (Choose two.)
Symmetric Traffic Flow with SNAT:
In active-active (A-A) clusters, symmetric traffic flow is essential for maintaining session integrity across multiple instances. Source Network Address Translation (SNAT) is performed inbound to ensure that return traffic is routed correctly (Option A).
Load Balancer Requirement:
A-A clusters require a load balancer to distribute incoming traffic evenly across the active instances. This is crucial for balancing the load and providing high availability (Option C).
API Calls and Failovers:
Option B is incorrect because failovers in A-A clusters do not typically rely on API calls but are managed by the load balancer and the clustering mechanism itself.
Software-Defined Network (SDN) Failover:
Option D is incorrect as SDN is not specifically required for performing failovers in A-A clusters. The failover mechanism is typically managed by the load balancer and FortiGate's clustering technology.
FortiGate High Availability on AWS: FortiGate HA
An administrator has been asked to deploy an active-passive (A-P) FortiGate cluster in the AWS cloud across two availability zones.
In addition to enhanced redundancy, which other major difference is there compared to deploying A-P high availability in the same availability zone?
Enhanced Redundancy:
Deploying an active-passive (A-P) FortiGate cluster across two availability zones (AZs) provides enhanced redundancy by ensuring that if one AZ fails, the other can take over, maintaining high availability and uptime.
IP Addressing and Subnetting:
One of the major differences when deploying across different AZs compared to the same AZ is that IP addressing and subnetting are not shared between the instances. Each AZ operates independently with its own set of subnets and IP addresses, which must be managed separately (Option D).
Other Options Analysis:
Option A is incorrect because the FortiGate devices in an A-P setup do not act as a single logical instance; they operate in a failover setup.
Option B is incorrect because secondary IP address configuration is used in both single AZ and multi-AZ deployments.
Option C is incorrect because the number of subnets required is typically more when deploying across multiple AZs for redundancy.
FortiGate HA Configuration Guide: FortiGate HA
Refer to the exhibit.
You deployed an active-passive FortiGate HA cluster using a CloudFormation template on an existing VPC. Now you want to test active-passive FortiGate HA failover by running a debug so you can see the API calls to change the Elastic and secondary IP addresses.
Which statement is correct about the output of the debug?
HA Event and Failover:
The debug output indicates that a failover event occurred and the secondary instance (Fgt2) is now taking over as the master.
Elastic IP Association:
The debug output shows the process of moving the Elastic IP (eipalloc-090425f83f912c8d6) to the new master instance. This involves associating the Elastic IP with the appropriate network interface (eni) of the new master.
Specific IP Address Association:
The Elastic IP is specifically associated with port1 of Fgt2. The message 'associate elastic ip eipalloc-090425f83f912c8d6 to 10.0.0.13 of eni eni-0f6b35f8fccd24eb0' indicates that the Elastic IP is now linked to the primary IP address (10.0.0.13) on port1 of the new master.
Other Options Analysis:
Option A is incorrect because the routing table update details are not explicitly stated.
Option C is incorrect because the IP address association mentioned relates to an Elastic IP, not eni-0b61d8afc0aefb8a2.
Option D is incorrect because it specifically mentions port2 for the Elastic IP association, which is not indicated in the debug output.

A customer has deployed FortiGate Cloud-Native Firewall (CNF).
Which two statements are correct about policy sets? (Choose two.)
Implicit Deny Rule:
Similar to traditional firewall rule sets, FortiGate Cloud-Native Firewall (CNF) includes an implicit deny rule at the bottom of each policy set. This means any traffic that does not match an existing rule in the policy set is automatically denied (Option A).
Policy Set Creation:
When a new CNF instance is deployed, a new policy set is created specifically for that instance. This ensures that each CNF instance can have a tailored set of security policies based on the specific needs of the deployment (Option C).
Other Options Analysis:
Option B is incorrect because policy sets do not require manual synchronization; they are applied automatically once configured.
Option D is incorrect as a single CNF instance operates with a single policy set at a time.
