NSE 4 – FortiGate 6.4 — Question 98

Which two statements are true when FortiGate is in transparent mode? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. By default, all interfaces are part of the same broadcast domain.
• B. The existing network IP schema must be changed when installing a transparent mode FortiGate in the network.
• C. Static routes are required to allow traffic to the next hop.
• D. FortiGate forwards frames without changing the MAC address.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Option A is correct because in transparent mode, all interfaces indeed belong to the same broadcast domain by default. Option D is also correct as FortiGate forwards frames without modifying the MAC address. Options B and C are incorrect; the existing IP schema does not need to change for transparent mode, and static routes are not required as FortiGate operates at Layer 2.
