NSE 6 – FortiWeb 5.6/6.0 — Question 23

You are using HTTP content routing on FortiWeb. Requests for web app A should be forwarded to a cluster of web servers which all host the same web app.
Requests for web app B should be forwarded to a different, single web server.
Which is true about the solution?

Answer options

• A. It also forwards requests for web app B to the virtual server for policy B. Policy A and Policy B apply their app-specific protection profiles, and then distribute that app's traffic among all members of the server farm.
• B. To achieve HTTP content routing, you must chain policies: the first policy accepts all traffic, and forwards requests for web app A to the virtual server for policy
• C. You must put the single web server into a server pool in order to use it with HTTP content routing.
• D. The server policy applies the same protection profile to all its protected web apps.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because HTTP content routing requires the use of chained policies to manage traffic appropriately. Answer A is incorrect as it incorrectly states that requests for web app B are forwarded to policy B's virtual server, which is not how the routing is set up. Answer C is wrong because a single web server does not need to be in a server pool for HTTP content routing. Answer D is incorrect since different web apps can be assigned different protection profiles.
