NSE 5 – FortiManager 6.2 — Question 12

An administrator wants to delete an address object that is currently referenced in a firewall policy.
What can the administrator expect to happen?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because when an address object that is in use is deleted, FortiManager replaces it with the none address object to maintain the integrity of the firewall policy. Option B is incorrect as FortiManager does allow the deletion but handles it by substitution. Options C and D are incorrect because they describe different actions that do not occur when an address object is deleted.
