NSE 8 – Network Security Expert (812) — Question 59

A customer with a FortiDDoS 200F protecting their fibre optic internet connection from incoming traffic sees that all the traffic was dropped by the device even though they were not under a DoS attack. The traffic flow was restored after it was rebooted using the GUI.
Which two options will prevent this situation in the future? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Change the Adaptive Mode.
• B. Create an HA setup with a second FortiDDoS 200F.
• C. Move the internet connection from the SFP interfaces to the LC interfaces.
• D. Replace with a FortiDDoS 1500F.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answers are B and C because creating an HA setup with a second FortiDDoS 200F ensures redundancy, minimizing the chance of complete traffic loss during a malfunction. Moving the internet connection from the SFP interfaces to the LC interfaces might provide better performance or compatibility. Options A and D do not directly address the issue of traffic being dropped without an attack.
