NSE 7 – Network Security Architect — Question 59

Which statement is true regarding File description (FD) conserve mode?

Answer options

• A. IPS inspection is affected when FortiGate enters FD conserve mode.
• B. A FortiGate enters FD conserve mode when the amount of available description is less than 5%.
• C. FD conserve mode affects all daemons running on the device.
• D. Restarting the WAD process is required to leave FD conserve mode.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because FD conserve mode activates when the available file descriptors fall below a critical threshold of 5%. Options A and C are incorrect since they do not accurately describe the specific functions affected by FD conserve mode. Option D is also wrong because restarting the WAD process is not a requirement to exit FD conserve mode.
