FCP – Zero Trust Cloud Security Administrator 7.4 — Question 21

What is the primary purpose of enabling the IP forwarding setting on FortiGate in Azure?

Answer options

• A. To prevent source and destination checks on network interfaces
• B. To disable network security group (NSG) rules
• C. To block incoming and outgoing network traffic
• D. To enable the VM to act as a router

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because enabling IP forwarding allows traffic to be routed correctly through the FortiGate device without checks that could otherwise block it. Options B and C are incorrect as they do not relate to the functionality of IP forwarding, and D is misleading since the primary purpose is to manage traffic flow rather than to explicitly act as a router.
