NSE 4 – FortiGate 5.4 — Question 34

Which two statements are true about IPsec VPNs and SSL VPNs? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. SSL VPN creates a HTTPS connection. IPsec does not.
• B. Both SSL VPNs and IPsec VPNs are standard protocols.
• C. Either a SSL VPN or an IPsec VPN can be established between two FortiGate devices.
• D. Either a SSL VPN or an IPsec VPN can be established between an end-user workstation and a FortiGate device.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answer A is accurate because SSL VPN uses HTTPS for its connections while IPsec does not. Option D is also correct as both types of VPNs can be established between an end-user workstation and a FortiGate device. Options B and C are incorrect because while IPsec is a standard protocol, SSL is not necessarily considered a standard protocol in the same way, and the statement about establishment between two FortiGate devices is not universally true for SSL VPNs.
