NSE 4 – FortiGate Administrator 7.6 — Question 10

Which two statements are correct when the FortiGate device enters conserve mode? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. FortiGate refuses to accept configuration changes.
• B. FortiGate continues to run critical security actions, such as quarantine.
• C. FortiGate halts complete system operation and requires a reboot to regain available resources.
• D. FortiGate continues to transmit packets without IPS inspection when the fail -open global setting in IPS is enabled.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answers, A and D, indicate that while in conserve mode, FortiGate will not accept any configuration changes but will continue to transmit packets without IPS inspection if the fail-open setting is active. Options B and C are incorrect because FortiGate does not halt all operations in conserve mode; it still performs critical actions and does not require a reboot to regain resources.
