NSE 7 – Public Cloud Security 6.4 — Question 28

You need to deploy FortiGate VM devices in a highly available topology in the Microsoft Azure cloud. The following are the requirements of your deployment:
* Two FortiGate devices must be deployed; each in a different availability zone.
* Each FortiGate requires two virtual network interfaces: one will connect to a public subnet and the other will connect to a private subnet.
* An external Microsoft Azure load balancer will distribute ingress traffic to both FortiGate devices in an active-active topology.
* An internal Microsoft Azure load balancer will distribute egress traffic from protected virtual machines to both FortiGate devices in an active-active topology.
* Traffic should be accepted or denied by a firewall policy in the same way by either FortiGate device in this topology.
Which FortiOS CLI configuration can help reduce the administrative effort required to maintain the FortiGate devices, by synchronizing firewall policy and object configuration between the FortiGate devices?

Answer options

• A. config system sdn-connector
• B. config system ha
• C. config system auto-scale
• D. config system session-sync

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is 'config system auto-scale' because it facilitates the synchronization of configurations across FortiGate devices, thereby reducing administrative effort. The other options do not specifically address the synchronization of firewall policies and object configurations; 'config system ha' relates to high availability settings, 'config system sdn-connector' pertains to SDN integration, and 'config system session-sync' deals with session synchronization rather than configuration management.
