Actual exam question for Fortinet's FCP_FGT_AD-7.4 exam

Question #: 16
Topic #: 2

[All FCP_FGT_AD-7.4 Questions]

An administrator wants to configure dead peer detection (DPD) on IPsec VPN for detecting dead tunnels. The requirement is that FortiGate sends DPD probes only when there is outbound traffic but no response from the peer.

Which DPD mode on FortiGate meets this requirement?

AOn Demand

BOn Idle

CDisabled

DEnabled

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The On Demand mode for Dead Peer Detection (DPD) on FortiGate sends DPD probes only when there is outbound traffic and no response from the peer. This mode is used to detect if the peer is still available without continuously sending DPD probes, reducing unnecessary traffic.

D) Enabled? Really? That's like the nuclear option for DPD. Sending probes all the time? Talk about overkill!

This is a tough one, but I think C) Disabled is the way to go. Why bother with DPD if we're just going to turn it off, right? Keeps things simple!

I think C) Disabled makes more sense, as it won't send any probes at all.

But the requirement is to send probes only when there is outbound traffic but no response from the peer, so it should be A) On Demand.

I'm going with B) On Idle. Isn't that the one that sends DPD probes periodically, even without any traffic?
