FCP – FortiGate Administrator 7.4 — Question 50

Which two statements are correct when FortiGate enters conserve mode? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. FortiGate halts complete system operation and requires a reboot to regain available resources
• B. FortiGate refuses to accept configuration changes
• C. FortiGate continues to run critical security actions, such as quarantine.
• D. FortiGate continues to transmit packets without IPS inspection when the fail-open global setting in IPS is enabled

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Answer B is correct because FortiGate does not allow configuration changes during conserve mode to maintain stability. Answer D is also correct as FortiGate can continue packet transmission without IPS inspection if the fail-open setting is enabled. Answers A and C are incorrect; FortiGate does not halt all operations and it can still perform critical security actions.
