NSE 5 – FortiManager 5.4 — Question 10

An administrator wants to delete an address object that is currently referenced in a firewall policy. Which one of the following statements is true?

Answer options

• A. FortiManager will replace the deleted address object with the all address object in the referenced firewall policy.
• B. FortiManager will disable the status of the referenced firewall policy.
• C. FortiManager will not allow the administrator to delete a referenced address object.
• D. FortiManager will replace the deleted address object with the none address object in the referenced firewall policy.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because FortiManager enforces rules that prevent the deletion of any address object that is currently in use, ensuring that firewall policies remain intact. Options A and D are incorrect as they misrepresent the behavior of FortiManager in such scenarios, and option B is also incorrect since the firewall policy remains active despite the referenced object.
