NSE 7 – Public Cloud Security 6.4 — Question 20

Your company deploys FortiGate VM devices in high availability (HA) (active-active) mode with Microsoft Azure load balancers using the Microsoft Azure ARM template. Your senior administrator instructs you to connect to one of the FortiGate devices and configure the necessary firewall rules. However, you are not sure now to obtain the correct public IP address of the deployed FortiGate VM and identify the access ports.
How do you obtain the public IP address of the FortiGate VM and identify the correct ports to access the device?

Answer options

• A. In the configured load balancer, access the inbound NAT rules section.
• B. In the configured load balancer, access the backend pools section.
• C. In the configured load balancer, access the inbound and outbound NAT rules section.
• D. In the configured load balancer, access the health probes section.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the inbound NAT rules section provides information on how traffic is directed to the FortiGate VM, including the public IP address and the ports to access. Options B and D do not contain the relevant information needed for access, and option C is incorrect because it includes outbound NAT rules, which are not necessary for obtaining the access ports.
