NSE 4 – FortiGate 7.2 — Question 31

An administrator configures FortiGuard servers as DNS servers on FortiGate using default settings.
What is true about the DNS connection to a FortiGuard server?

Answer options

• A. It uses UDP 8888.
• B. It uses UDP 53.
• C. It uses DNS over HTTPS.
• D. It uses DNS over TLS.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because FortiGuard servers use DNS over TLS to secure DNS queries. Options A and B are incorrect as they refer to standard DNS ports and protocols that do not apply in this context. Option C is also incorrect because DNS over HTTPS is a different protocol not utilized by FortiGuard servers.
