NSE 7 – Enterprise Firewall 6.2 — Question 28

Which statement about memory conserve mode is true?

Answer options

• A. A FortiGate exits conserve mode when the configured memory use threshold reaches yellow.
• B. A FortiGate starts dropping all the new and old sessions when the configured memory use threshold reaches extreme.
• C. A FortiGate enters conserve mode when the configured memory use threshold reaches red.
• D. A FortiGate starts dropping new sessions when the configured memory use thresholds reaches red.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a FortiGate will start dropping new sessions to manage memory usage when the threshold hits red. Option A is incorrect as it describes exiting conserve mode, which occurs at a yellow threshold, not red. Option B is wrong because dropping all sessions occurs at extreme, not just new ones. Option C is incorrect as it states the entry into conserve mode occurs at red, rather than at that point causing session drops.
