Fortinet FCP_WCS_AD-7.4 Practice Test Questions Answers

Understanding the Requirement:

The organization needs to connect a data VPC to the on-premises infrastructure with high bandwidth.

The solution should avoid multiple connections between sites.

Transit Gateway Connect:

Transit Gateway Connect is designed to integrate with SD-WAN networks and provides scalable bandwidth using GRE tunnels.

It simplifies hybrid cloud connectivity by allowing high bandwidth connections without the need for multiple physical connections.

Benefits of Transit Gateway Connect:

Supports scalable bandwidth through GRE tunnels.

Facilitates seamless integration with on-premises and cloud environments.

Reduces complexity by avoiding the need for multiple VPN connections.

Comparison with Other Options:

Option A (Transit VPC with IPSec) is not preferred due to complexity and potential limitations in bandwidth scalability.

Option B (Internet Gateway) is not suitable for private, high-bandwidth connections.

Option C (Transit Gateway multicast) does not address the requirement for high bandwidth in a hybrid cloud setup.

AWS GuardDuty Integration:

AWS GuardDuty is a threat detection service that continuously monitors for malicious activity and unauthorized behavior to protect AWS accounts and workloads. It can generate findings that can be used to create or update firewall rules automatically in FortiGate to enhance security and provide timely protection (Option D).

Integration with FortiGate:

GuardDuty findings can be integrated with FortiGate using automation tools and scripts to create firewall rules dynamically, thereby accelerating the time-to-protection against emerging threats.

Other Options Analysis:

Option A (AWS Firewall Manager) is more suited for managing rules across multiple accounts but not for dynamic threat response.

Option B (AWS Network ACL) provides stateless filtering but does not offer automated rule creation.

Option C (SDN Connector for AWS) helps in integrating SDN capabilities but is not specifically focused on threat-based rule automation.

Cluster Elastic IP Address (EIP) Movement:

During a failover in an active-passive (A-P) cluster, the Elastic IP (EIP) associated with the active FortiGate instance (FGT-1) needs to be moved to the passive instance (FGT-2), which becomes the new active instance. This ensures that the traffic directed to the EIP is now handled by FGT-2 (Option A).

Secondary IP Address Movement:

The secondary IP address on Port2 of the current active instance (FGT-1) is moved to the same port on the new active instance (FGT-2). This step is crucial to ensure seamless network traffic redirection and connectivity for the services relying on that IP address (Option B).

Other Options Analysis:

Option C is incorrect because the static route modification mentioned is not directly related to the failover process described.

Option D is incorrect because no additional route needs to be added to the HA Sync AZ2 subnet route table to forward traffic to the Internet Gateway during a failover.

Scalability:

FortiGate Cloud-Native Firewall (CNF) is designed to scale seamlessly with your cloud infrastructure, providing the necessary protection without requiring manual intervention for scaling (Option B).

Firewall-as-a-Service:

FortiGate CNF is offered as a Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), which simplifies the deployment and management of firewall capabilities directly in the cloud environment (Option D).

Management:

FortiGate CNF can be managed using FortiManager and AWS Firewall Manager, providing comprehensive management capabilities both from Fortinet's platform and AWS's native management tools (Option E).

Other Considerations:

Option A (carrier-grade protection) is not specifically highlighted as a feature of FortiGate CNF.

Option C (uses AWS Elastic Load Balancing) is incorrect as FortiGate CNF operates independently of AWS ELB, although it can integrate with various AWS services.

Understanding VPC Peering:

VPC peering connections allow instances in one VPC to communicate with instances in another VPC. Peering is a one-to-one relationship between two VPCs.

Transit Routing Limitation:

AWS VPC peering connections do not support transitive peering. This means that a packet originating in VPC B cannot be routed through VPC A to reach VPC C. Each pair of VPCs must have its own peering connection.

Routing Table Configuration:

Even if you add a route in the VPC A routing table for the 192.168.0.0/16 network, it won't allow VPC B to communicate with VPC C because of the non-transitive nature of VPC peering.

Comparison with Other Options:

Option A is incorrect because adding a route in VPC A does not overcome the limitation of non-transitive peering.

Option C is incorrect because associating pcx-23232323 with VPC B is not how VPC peering works.

Option D is incorrect because you can create a separate peering connection between VPC B and VPC C, which is the required approach for communication between these VPCs.
