NSE 4 – FortiGate 5.4 — Question 28

Two FortiGate units with NP6 processors form an active-active cluster. The cluster is doing security profile (UTM) inspection over all the user traffic. What statements are true regarding the sessions that the master unit is offloading to the slave unit for inspection? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. They are accelerated by hardware in the master unit.
• B. They are not accelerated by hardware in the master unit.
• C. They are accelerated by hardware in the slave unit.
• D. They are not accelerated by hardware in the slave unit.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answers are A and D because sessions offloaded from the master to the slave unit are not processed using hardware acceleration in the slave unit, which means they rely on software processing. In contrast, sessions handled by the master unit are accelerated by its hardware, thus making A true and B, C, D incorrect.
