NSE 4 – FortiGate Administrator 7.6 — Question 17

FortiGate is operating in NAT mode and has two physical interfaces connected to the LAN and DMZ networks respectively.
Which two statements about the requirements of connected physical interfaces on FortiGate are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Both interfaces must have directly connected routes on the routing table.
• B. Both interfaces must have IP addresses assigned.
• C. Both interfaces must have DHCP enabled and interfaces set to LAN and DMZ roles assigned.
• D. Both interfaces must have the interface role assigned.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The correct answers are A and B because for FortiGate to route traffic effectively, both interfaces need directly connected routes and must have unique IP addresses assigned. Options C and D are incorrect as having DHCP enabled is not a requirement for NAT mode, and while assigning roles is important, it is not a strict requirement for basic connectivity.
