NEW QUESTION # 12
Refer to the exhibit.
You want the performance service-level agreement (SLA) to measure the jitter of each member. Which configuration change must you make to achieve this result?
- A. Specify the participant members.
- B. Set the protocol to HTTP.
- C. No change is required.
- D. Add an SLA target and define a jitter threshold.
Answer: C
Explanation:
According to theSD-WAN 7.6 Core Administratorstudy guide andFortiOS 7.6 Administration Guide, no configuration change is required to simplymeasurejitter.
* Implicit Measurement: In FortiOS, once a Performance SLA (Health Check) is configured with an Activeprobe mode (as seen in the exhibit with Ping selected), the FortiGate automatically begins calculating three key quality metrics for every member interface:Latency,Jitter, andPacket Loss.
* Visibility: Even without an SLA Target defined, these real-time measurements are visible in theSD- WAN Monitorand via the CLI command diagnose sys virtual-wan-link health-check <SLA_Name>.
* Active Probes: Because the probe mode is set toActiveusing thePingprotocol, the FortiGate sends synthetic packets at the definedCheck interval(500ms in the exhibit). It calculates jitter by measuring the variation in the round-trip time (RTT) between these consecutive probes.
Why other options are incorrect:
* Option B: Adding anSLA targetand defining a jitter threshold is only necessary if you want the SD- WAN engine to makesteering decisionsbased on that metric (e.g., "remove this link from the pool if jitter exceeds 50ms"). It is not required just tomeasurethe jitter.
* Option C: While you can specify participants, the current setting is "All SD-WAN Members," which means it is already measuring jitter for every member.
* Option D:HTTPis an alternative probe protocol, butPing (ICMP)is perfectly capable of measuring jitter and is often preferred for its lower overhead.
NEW QUESTION # 13
For a small site, an administrator plans to implement SD-WAN and ensure high network availability for business-critical applications while limiting the overall cost and the cost of pay-per-use backup connections.
Which action must the administrator take to accomplish this plan?
- A. Set up a high availability (HA) cluster to implement standalone SD-WAN.
- B. Implement dynamic routing.
- C. Configure at least two WAN links.
- D. Use a mid-range FortiGate device to implement standalone SD-WAN.
Answer: C
Explanation:
According to theSD-WAN 7.6 Core Administratorcurriculum, to implement an SD-WAN solution that ensures high network availability for business-critical applications while managing costs, the administrator mustconfigure at least two WAN links.
* SD-WAN Fundamentals: SD-WAN operates by creating a virtual overlay across multiple physical or logical transport links (e.g., broadband, LTE, MPLS). Without at least two links, the SD-WAN engine has no alternative path to steer traffic toward if the primary link fails or degrades.
* Cost Management: By using multiple links, administrators can implement theLowest Cost (SLA)or Maximize Bandwidthstrategies. This allows the site to use a low-cost broadband connection for primary traffic and only failover to a "pay-per-use" backup (like LTE) when the primary link's quality falls below the defined SLA target.
* High Availability (Link Level): While a "High Availability (HA) cluster" (Option C) provides device redundancy (protecting against a hardware failure of the FortiGate itself), it does not address link redundancy or steering, which are the core functions of SD-WAN for application uptime.
Why other options are incorrect:
* Option A: Using a mid-range device refers to hardware capacity but does not solve the requirement for link-level redundancy and cost-steering logic.
* Option B: Dynamic routing (like BGP or OSPF) is often usedwithSD-WAN in large topologies, but for a small site, the primary mechanism for meeting availability and cost goals is the configuration of the SD-WAN member links and rules themselves.
* Option C: HA clusters protect against hardware failure, but the question specifically asks about ensuring availability forapplicationswhile limitingbackup link costs, which is a traffic-steering (SD- WAN) requirement rather than a hardware-redundancy requirement.
NEW QUESTION # 14
Which three authentication sources support secure identity verification and access control for FortiSASE remote users? (Choose three.)
- A. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
- B. Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)
- C. Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus (TACACS+)
- D. OpenID Conned (OIDC)
- E. Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS)
Answer: A,B,E
NEW QUESTION # 15
The IT team is wondering whether they will need to continue using MDM tools for future FortiClient upgrades.
What options are available for handling future FortiClient upgrades?
- A. FortiClient will need to be manually upgraded.
- B. Enable the Endpoint Upgrade feature on the FortiSASE portal.
- C. Perform onboarding for managed endpoint users with a newer FortiClient version.
- D. A newer FortiClient version will be auto-upgraded on demand.
Answer: B
Explanation:
According to theFortiSASE 7.6 Feature Administration Guideand the latest updates to theNSE 5 SASE curriculum, FortiSASE has introduced native lifecycle management for FortiClient agents to reduce the operational burden on IT teams who previously relied solely on third-party MDM (Mobile Device Management) or GPO (Group Policy Objects) for every update.
TheEndpoint Upgradefeature, found underSystem > Endpoint Upgradein the FortiSASE portal, allows administrators to perform the following:
* Centralized Version Control: Administrators can see which versions are currently deployed and which "Recommended" versions are available from FortiGuard.
* Scheduled Rollouts: You can choose to upgrade all endpoints or specific endpoint groups at a designated time, ensuring that upgrades do not disrupt business operations.
* Status Monitoring: The portal provides a real-time dashboard showing the progress of the upgrade (e.
g.,Downloading,Installing,Reboot Pending, orSuccess).
* Manual vs. Managed: While MDM is still highly recommended for theinitial onboarding(the first time FortiClient is installed and connected to the SASE cloud), all subsequent upgrades can be handled natively by the FortiSASE portal.
Why other options are incorrect:
* Option B: Manual upgrades are inefficient for large-scale deployments (~400 users in this scenario) and are not the intended "feature-rich" solution provided by FortiSASE.
* Option C: "Onboarding" refers to the initial setup. Re-onboarding every time a version changes would be redundant and counterproductive.
* Option D: While the system canmanagethe upgrade, it is not "auto-upgraded on demand" by the client itself without administrative configuration in the portal. The administrator must still define the target version and schedule.
NEW QUESTION # 16
Which statement about FortiSASE CASB capabilities is true?
- A. FortiSASE provides CASB capabilities only through Security Fabric integration.
- B. FortiSASE provides only inline CASB.
- C. FortiSASE provides only API-based CASB.
- D. FortiSASE provides both API-based CASB and inline CASB.
Answer: B
Explanation:
FortiSASE includes inline CASB capabilities, enforcing cloud application controls directly on user traffic. API-based CASB is not included in FortiSASE.
NEW QUESTION # 17
Refer to the exhibit. An SD-WAN zone configuration on the FortiGate GUI is shown.
What can you conclude about the zone and member configuration on this device?
- A. You can move HUB1-VPN3 from the HUB1 zone to the virtual-wan-link zone.
- B. The overlay-factories zone contains no member.
- C. You can delete the virtual-wan-link zones.
- D. You can delete the overlay-factories zone.
Answer: B
Explanation:
In the SD-WAN Zones view, the overlay-factories zone shows no expandable arrow or member interfaces beneath it, indicating that the zone contains no members.
NEW QUESTION # 18
Refer to the exhibit. How does FortiGate handle the traffic with the source IP 10.0.1.130 and the destination IP 128.66.0.125?
- A. FortiGate routes the traffic flow according to the FIB.
- B. FortiGate drops the traffic flow.
- C. FortiGate steers the traffic flow through port2.
- D. FortiGate load balances the traffic flow through port1 and port2.
Answer: A
Explanation:
On FortiGate, a policy route (PBR) with action deny does not drop the traffic outright. Instead, it prevents the traffic from being steered by that policy route, and the packet is then handed back to the regular routing lookup (FIB):
Source 10.0.1.130 matches 10.0.1.128/25
Destination 128.66.0.125 matches 128.66.0.0/24
Router policy says action deny → do not use this policy route
Result: FortiGate falls back to the FIB (normal routing table).
NEW QUESTION # 19
Which statement about security posture tags in FortiSASE is correct?
- A. Tags are static and do not change with endpoint status.
- B. Only one tag can be assigned to an endpoint.
- C. Multiple tags can be assigned to an endpoint, but only one is used for evaluation.
- D. Multiple tags can be assigned to an endpoint and used for evaluation.
Answer: D
Explanation:
According to theFortiSASE 7.6 Administration GuideandFCP - FortiSASE 24/25 Administrator curriculum, security posture tags (often referred to as ZTNA tags) are the fundamental building blocks for identity-based and posture-based access control.
* Multiple Tag Assignment: A single endpoint can be assigned multiple tags at the same time. For example, an endpoint might simultaneously have the tags"OS-Windows-11","AV-Running", and
"Corporate-Domain-Joined".
* Evaluation Logic: During the policy evaluation process (for both SIA and SPA), FortiSASE or the FortiGate hub considers all tags assigned to the endpoint. Security policies can be configured to use these tags as source criteria. If an administrator defines a policy that requires both "AV-Running" and
"Corporate-Domain-Joined," the system evaluates both tags to decide whether to permit the traffic.
* Dynamic Nature: Contrary to Option C, these tags are highly dynamic. They are automatically applied or removed in real-time based on the telemetry data sent by theFortiClientto the SASE cloud. If a user disables their antivirus, the "AV-Running" tag is removed immediately, and the endpoint's access is revoked by the next policy evaluation.
* Scalability: While the system supports many tags, documentation recommends a baseline of custom tags for optimal performance, though it confirms that multiple tags are standard for reflecting a comprehensive security posture.
Why other options are incorrect:
* Option A: This is incorrect because the system does not pick just one tag; it evaluates the collection of tags against the policy's requirements (e.g., matching any or matching all).
* Option C: This is incorrect because tags are dynamic and change as soon as the endpoint's status (like vulnerability count or software presence) changes.
* Option D: This is incorrect because the architectural advantage of ZTNA is the ability to layer multiple security "checks" (tags) for a single user.

NEW QUESTION # 21
Which three factors about SLA targets and SD-WAN rules should you consider when configuring SD-WAN rules? (Choose three answers)
- A. SD-WAN rules can use SLA targets to check whether the preferred members meet the SLA requirements.
- B. Member metrics are measured only if a rule uses the SLA target.
- C. SLA targets are used only by SD-WAN rules that are configured with a Lowest Cost (SLA) strategy.
- D. When configuring an SD-WAN rule, you can select multiple SLA targets if they are from the same performance SLA.
- E. When configuring an SD-WAN rule, you can select multiple SLA targets from different performance SLAs.
Answer: A,C,D
Explanation:
According to theSD-WAN 7.6 Core Administratorstudy guide and theFortinet Document Library, the interaction between SD-WAN rules and SLA targets is governed by specific selection and measurement logic:
* Usage by Strategy (Option B): SLA targets are fundamentally used by theLowest Cost (SLA)strategy to determine which links are currently healthy enough to be considered for traffic steering. While other strategies likeBest Qualityuse a "Measured SLA" to monitor metrics, they do not typically use the
"Required SLA Target" to disqualify links unless specifically configured in a hybrid mode. In most curriculum contexts, the "Required SLA Target" field is specifically associated with the Lowest Cost and Maximize Bandwidth strategies.
* SLA Compliance Checking (Option D): SD-WAN rules utilize SLA targets as a "pass/fail" gatekeeper. The engine checks if thepreferred membersmeet the defined SLA requirements (latency, jitter, or packet loss thresholds). If a preferred member fails the SLA, the rule will move to the next member in the priority list that does meet the SLA.
* Single SLA Binding (Option E): When configuring an SD-WAN rule, the GUI and CLI allow you to selectmultiple SLA targets, but they must all belong to thesame Performance SLAprofile. You cannot mix and match targets from different health checks (e.g., Target 1 from "Google_HC" and Target 2 from "Amazon_HC") within a single SD-WAN rule.
Why other options are incorrect:
* Option A: This is incorrect because a single SD-WAN rule can only be associated with one specific Performance SLA profile at a time; therefore, you cannot select targets fromdifferentSLAs.
* Option C: This is incorrect because member metrics (latency, jitter, packet loss) are measured by the Performance SLAprobes regardless of whether an SD-WAN rule is currently using that SLA target for steering decisions. Measurement is a function of the health-check, not the rule matching process.
NEW QUESTION # 22 
An administrator is troubleshooting SD-WAN on FortiGate. A device behind branch1_fgt generates traffic to the 10.0.0.0/8 network. The administrator expects the traffic to match SD-WAN rule ID 1 and be routed over HUB1-VPN1. However, the traffic is routed over HUB1-VPN3.
Based on the output shown in the exhibit, which two reasons, individually or together, could explain the observed behavior? (Choose two.)
- A. HUB1-VPN1 does not have a valid route to the destination.
- B. HUB1-VPN3 has a higher member configuration priority than HUB1-VPN1.
- C. HUB1-VPN3 has a lower route priority value (higher priority) than HUB1-VPN1.
- D. The traffic matches a regular policy route configured with HUB1-VPN3 as the outgoing device.
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
According to theSD-WAN 7.6 Core Administratorcurriculum and the diagnostic outputs shown in the exhibit, the reason traffic is steered toHUB1-VPN3instead of the expectedHUB1-VPN1(defined in SD-WAN rule ID 1) can be explained by two core routing principles in FortiOS:
* Valid Route Requirement (Option A): In thediagnose sys sdwan service 4output (which corresponds to Rule ID 1), it shows the rule has membersHUB1-VPN1,HUB1-VPN2, andHUB1-VPN3. A key principle of SD-WAN steering is that for a member to be "selectable" by a rule, itmust have a valid route to the destinationin the routing table (RIB/FIB). If the routing table output (the third section of the exhibit) shows a route to 10.0.0.0/8 viaHUB1-VPN3butnotthroughHUB1-VPN1, the SD-WAN engine will skip HUB1-VPN1 entirely because it is considered a "non-reachable" path for that specific destination.
* Policy Route Precedence (Option D): In the FortiOS route lookup hierarchy,Regular Policy Routes (PBR)are evaluatedbeforeSD-WAN rules. If an administrator has configured a traditional Policy Route (found underNetwork > Policy Routes) that matches traffic destined for 10.0.0.0/8 and specifiesHUB1- VPN3as the outgoing interface, the FortiGate will forward the packet based on that policy route and will never evaluate the SD-WAN rulesfor that session. This "bypass" occurs regardless of whether the SD- WAN rule would have chosen a "better" link.
Why other options are incorrect:
* Option B: While member configuration priority (cfg_order) is a tie-breaker in some strategies, the SD- WAN rule logic is only applied if the routing table allows it or if a higher-priority policy route doesn't intercept the traffic first.
* Option C: Lower route priority (which means higher preference in the RIB) affects theImplicit Rule (standard routing). However, SD-WAN rules are designed tooverrideRIB priority for matching traffic.
If HUB1-VPN1 was a valid candidate and no Policy Route existed, the SD-WAN rule would typically ignore RIB priority to enforce its own steering strategy.
NEW QUESTION # 23
An SD-WAN member is no longer used to steer SD-WAN traffic. You want to update the SD-WAN configuration and delete the unused member.
Which action should you take first? (Choose one answer)
- A. Move the SD-WAN member to the virtual-wan-link zone.
- B. Remove the member from the performance service-level agreement (SLA) definitions.
- C. Delete static route definitions for that interface.
- D. Disable the interface.
Answer: B
Explanation:
According to theSD-WAN 7.6 Core Administratorstudy guide and theFortinet Document Library, FortiOS maintains strict referential integrity for SD-WAN objects. An SD-WAN member interface cannot be deleted or removed from the configuration if it is still being "used" or referenced by other features.
* Reference Locking: In the FortiOS GUI, the "Delete" button for an SD-WAN member is typically grayed out or an error message appears if the interface is part of an active service or monitoring tool.
* Performance SLA Dependency: Performance SLAs (health checks) monitor specific member interfaces. If an interface is a participant in an SLA, it is considered "active" by the system. Therefore, a critical first step in the decommissioning process is toremove the member from all Performance SLA definitions. Once the health check is no longer polling that interface, one major reference lock is released.
* Other Dependencies: While firewall policies and SD-WAN rules (service rules) also create references, the question specifies the member is "no longer used to steer traffic," implying it may have already been removed from steering rules. However, Performance SLAs often remain active in the background, making their removal the essential next step to permit the deletion of the member itself.
Why other options are incorrect:
* Option A: Moving a member between zones doesn't help you delete it; it just changes its logical grouping. It still remains an active SD-WAN member.
* Option B: Disabling the physical interface does not remove the configuration references within the SD- WAN engine. The FortiGate will simply report the member as "Down," but it will still exist in the configuration as a member.
* Option D: In modern SD-WAN deployments, static routes usually point to theSD-WAN Zone(like virtual-wan-link) rather than individual physical interfaces. Therefore, you don't typically need to delete the static route to remove a single member from the zone.

Which statement is true about FortiSASE supported deployment?
- A. FortiSASE operates only in SWG mode, where all traffic is forced through FortiSASE POPs.
- B. FortiSASE relies on ZTNA-only mode, which replaces SWG and endpoint functions.
- C. FortiSASE supports VPN mode and Agentless mode, based on user requirements.
- D. FortiSASE supports both Endpoint mode and SWG mode, depending on deployment.
Answer: D
Explanation:
FortiSASE supports multiple deployment options, including Endpoint mode (using FortiClient) and SWG mode (agentless), allowing organizations to choose the method that best fits their access and security requirements.
NEW QUESTION # 26
Which statement about security posture tags in FortiSASE is correct?
- A. Tags are static and do not change with endpoint status.
- B. Only one tag can be assigned to an endpoint.
- C. Multiple tags can be assigned to an endpoint, but only one is used for evaluation.
- D. Multiple tags can be assigned to an endpoint and used for evaluation.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Security posture tags in FortiSASE dynamically assess endpoint compliance based on rules like OS version, antivirus status, and FortiClient connectivity. Endpoints receive multiple tags simultaneously (e.g., for Windows 11, active AV, and SASE connection), which firewalls then evaluate in policies for ZTNA access control.
NEW QUESTION # 27
Which three FortiSASE use cases are possible? (Choose three answers)
- A. Secure SaaS Access (SSA)
- B. Secure VPN Access (SVA)
- C. Secure Private Access (SPA)
- D. Secure Browser Access (SBA)
- E. Secure Internet Access (SIA)
Answer: A,C,E
Explanation:
FortiSASE is designed around three core secure access use cases:
Secure Internet Access (SIA)
Protects users when accessing the public internet using SWG, FWaaS, DNS security, and threat protection.
Secure SaaS Access (SSA)
Secures access to cloud/SaaS applications with visibility, control, and data protection.
Secure Private Access (SPA)
Provides zero-trust access (ZTNA) to private applications without traditional VPN exposure.
NEW QUESTION # 28
Refer to the exhibit. Which conclusion can you draw from the exhibit?
- A. Over the past 60 seconds, the member port2 latency was temporarily above the latency criteria defined for HUB1_HC.
- B. The administrator configured the Corp_HC performance service-level agreement (SLA) with SLA targets for the three criteria: packet loss, latency, and jitter.
- C. The administrator configured the packet loss threshold for Corp_HC and HUB1_HC to 5%.
- D. Over the past 60 seconds, the member port1 was monitored healthy for both latency criteria of the Corp_HC definition.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The graph shows the latency history for the Corp_HC SLA, and port1's latency remained below the defined threshold during the past 60 seconds. This indicates that port1 continuously met the Corp_HC latency SLA and was therefore monitored as healthy.
NEW QUESTION # 29
Which three reports are valid report types in FortiSASE? (Choose three.)
- A. Web Usage Summary Report
- B. Cyber Threat Assessment
- C. Shadow IT Report
- D. Vulnerability Assessment Report
- E. Endpoint Compliance Deviation Report
Answer: A,C,D
Explanation:
Shadow IT Report: Leveraging the built-in CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) capabilities, this report identifies "unsanctioned" or "risky" SaaS applications being used by employees. It helps organizations discover hidden security risks by cataloging cloud applications that have not been explicitly approved by the IT department.
Vulnerability Assessment Report: Since FortiSASE integrates with FortiClient and an embedded EMS, it can aggregate vulnerability scan data from managed endpoints. This report lists software vulnerabilities found on user devices (OS-level and application-level), providing a "Security Rating" or posture assessment that is critical for Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) enforcement.
Web Usage Summary Report: This report provides a high-level overview of web activity across the SASE deployment. It categorizes traffic by website categories (e.g., Social Media, Streaming, Malicious Sites), top users by bandwidth, and blocked requests, helping IT teams understand how internet resources are being consumed by remote workers.
