NSE 7 – Network Security Architect — Question 19

What configuration changes can reduce the memory utilization in a FortiGate? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Reduce the session time to live.
• B. Increase the TCP session timers.
• C. Increase the FortiGuard cache time to live.
• D. Reduce the maximum file size to inspect.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Increasing the TCP session timers (Option B) allows sessions to remain open longer, which can optimize memory use under certain conditions. Reducing the maximum file size to inspect (Option D) minimizes the memory required for processing, thereby reducing overall memory utilization. The other options, A and C, would not effectively reduce memory consumption in the same manner.
