NSE 7 – Enterprise Firewall 7.0 — Question 24

An administrator has been assigned the task of creating a set of firewall policies which must be evaluated before any custom policies defined within the policy packages of managed FortiGate devices, across all 25 ADOMSs in FortiManager.
How should the administrator accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. Create a footer policy in the Global ADOM containing the firewall policies that must be evaluated first, and then assign this footer policy to all other ADOMs.
• B. Create a header policy in the Global ADOM containing the firewall policies that must be evaluated first, and then assign this header policy to all other ADOMs.
• C. Move the FortiGate devices into a single globally scoped ADOM, and merge policy packages, inserting the new firewall policies at the top.
• D. Use a CLI script from the root ADOM on FortiManager to push these new policies to all FortiGate devices, through the FGFM tunnel.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because creating a header policy ensures that the firewall policies are evaluated before any other custom policies in the ADOMs. Option A is incorrect as a footer policy would evaluate after other policies. Options C and D do not prioritize the evaluation of the new firewall rules as required by the administrator's task.
