NSE 4 – FortiGate 7.0 — Question 60

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. FortiGate forwards frames without changing the MAC address.
• C. Static routes are required to allow traffic to the next hop.
• D. The existing network IP schema must be changed when installing a transparent mode FortiGate in the network.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

In transparent mode, FortiGate functions at Layer 2, allowing all interfaces to be part of the same broadcast domain (A) and forwarding frames without altering the MAC addresses (B). Conversely, static routes (C) are not necessary in this mode, and there is no need to change the existing IP schema (D) since the FortiGate operates transparently.
