NSE 6 – Network Security Specialist — Question 7

What is one requirement for your network when deploying FortiAuthenticator?

Answer options

• A. FortiAuthenticator must be positioned in an active-active geographic load-balanced high availability (HA) network
• B. FortiAuthenticator must have a management computer connected to port 1
• C. Policies must have specific ports open between FortiAuthenticator and the authentication clients
• D. Multiple FortiAuthenticator are required if more than one FortiGate exists in your network

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because FortiAuthenticator requires a management computer to be connected to port 1 for configuration and management purposes. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent essential requirements for the deployment; FortiAuthenticator can function in various network configurations and does not necessitate multiple devices for multiple FortiGates.
