NSE 4 – FortiGate 5.4 — Question 13

How do you configure a FortiGate to do traffic shaping of P2P traffic, such as BitTorrent?

Answer options

• A. Apply an application control profile allowing BitTorrent to a firewall policy and configure a traffic shaping policy.
• B. Enable the shape option in a firewall policy with service set to BitTorrent.
• C. Apply a traffic shaper to a BitTorrent entry in the SSL/SSH inspection profile.
• D. Apply a traffic shaper to a protocol options profile.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because applying an application control profile that allows BitTorrent to a firewall policy enables the FortiGate to recognize and manage that traffic effectively, while also configuring a traffic shaping policy allows for bandwidth management. The other options do not provide a complete solution for traffic shaping of BitTorrent traffic.
