NSE 7 – Network Security Architect — Question 50

How does FortiManager handle FortiGuard requests from FortiGate devices, when it is configured as a local FDS?

Answer options

• A. FortiManager can download and maintain local copies of FortiGuard databases.
• B. FortiManager supports only FortiGuard push to managed devices.
• C. FortiManager will respond to update requests only if they originate from a managed device.
• D. FortiManager does not support rating requests.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because when configured as a local FDS, FortiManager can indeed download and store local copies of FortiGuard databases for efficiency. Option B is incorrect as it implies limited functionality that is not true; C is wrong since FortiManager can respond to requests from all devices, and D is not accurate as there are specific rating requests that FortiManager can handle.
