NSE 5 — FortiAnalyzer 7.2 — Question 18

An administrator has configured the following settings:
config system fortiview setting
set resolve-ip enable
end
What is the significance of running this command?

Answer options

• A. Use this command only if the source IP addresses are not resolved on FortiGate.
• B. It resolves the source and destination IP addresses to a hostname in FortiView on FortiAnalyzer.
• C. It resolves the destination IP address to a hostname in FortiView on FortiAnalyzer.
• D. You must configure local DNS servers on FortiGate for this command to resolve IP addresses on FortiAnalyzer.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because enabling resolve-ip allows FortiView to display both source and destination IP addresses as hostnames, enhancing readability and analysis. Options A and C are incorrect as they misrepresent the command's functionality, and option D is irrelevant since the command can resolve IPs without requiring local DNS configuration.
