NSE 7 – Network Security Technologies 7.2 — Question 44

Which two statements about Security Fabric communications are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. FortiTelemetry and Neighbor Discovery both operate using TCP.
• B. The default port for Neighbor Discovery can be modified.
• C. FortiTelemetry must be manually enabled on the FortiGate interface.
• D. By default, the downstream FortiGate establishes a connection with the upstream FortiGate using TCP port 8013.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because the default port for Neighbor Discovery can indeed be modified. Option D is also correct as it states that the downstream FortiGate uses TCP port 8013 to connect to the upstream FortiGate by default. Options A and C are incorrect; FortiTelemetry operates over UDP, not TCP, and it is enabled by default rather than requiring manual activation.
