Fortinet Exam FCP_FMG_AD-7.4 Topic 1 Question 11 Discussion

Option C: It will modify the device-level database. This is correct. Reverting to a previous revision version in the revision history affects the device-level database by restoring it to the state saved in the selected revision. This ensures that any changes made after the selected revision are discarded, and the device configuration is returned to the earlier state.

Explanation of Incorrect Options:

Option A: It will install configuration changes to managed devices automatically is incorrect because reverting a revision does not automatically push changes to the devices; it merely reverts the configuration on the FortiManager.

Option B: It will tag the device settings status as Auto-Update is incorrect because 'Auto-Update' is not a status related to the revision history mechanism.

Option D: It will generate a new version ID and remove all other revision history versions is incorrect as reverting to a previous revision does not delete all other versions; it creates a new revision point for tracking.

FortiManager Reference:

Refer to the 'Revision Management' section in the FortiManager Administration Guide, which provides an overview of how revisions are managed and utilized for restoring configurations.
