NSE 7 – Enterprise Firewall 6.4 — Question 28

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

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because FortiManager, when configured as a local FDS, can download and store local copies of FortiGuard databases, allowing it to serve managed devices efficiently. Option A is incorrect as FortiManager can respond to requests from more than just managed devices; Option C is not accurate because it implies FortiManager lacks web filter capabilities entirely; and Option D is misleading since FortiManager can also support other update methods beyond just push updates.
