FCP – FortiGate Administrator 7.6 — Question 30

A network administrator is reviewing firewall policies in both Interface Pair View and By Sequence View. The policies appear in a different order in each view.
Why is the policy order different in these two views?

Answer options

• A. Policies in Interface Pair View are prioritized by security levels, while By Sequence View strictly follows the administrator’s manual ordering.
• B. By Sequence View groups policies based on rule priority, while Interface Pair View always follows the order of traffic logs.
• C. The firewall dynamically reorders policies in Interface Pair View based on recent traffic patterns, but By Sequence View remains static.
• D. Interface Pair View sorts policies based on matching interfaces, while By Sequence View shows the actual processing order of rules.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Interface Pair View organizes policies according to the matching interfaces, while By Sequence View displays the actual order in which the rules are processed. Options A, B, and C misrepresent how the views prioritize or organize policies, leading to incorrect conclusions about their functionalities.
