Refer to Exhibit:

An administrator admin used the Configuration Revision History window to revert the FortiGate device configuration to revision ID 6. After running the reinstall policy package, the administrator noticed problems with the firewall policy- they could not see the unset comment on policy ID 1.

Why did FortiManager not remove the comment from policy ID 1 when the administrator ran reinstall policy package?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The correct answer is B. The FortiManager 7.6 Administrator Study Guide gives the exact extract: ''Performing a revert operation followed by an installation only reverts device-level changes and does not revert policy packages. To achieve full synchronization, you must run the Import Configuration tool on FortiManager to synchronize the policy package.''

The guide also states: ''After every retrieve, auto-update, or revert operation, you must use Import Configuration to ensure the policy information is synchronized.''

In the exhibit, the missing unset comment for policy ID 1 is a policy package issue, not just a device-level revert issue. Reinstalling the existing policy package does not automatically rebuild it from the reverted revision. The administrator must import the firewall policies again so the policy package reflects the reverted policy state. That is why the comment was not removed.

I thought it was A at first, but now I'm leaning towards D.

Wait, so the comments don't get updated automatically? That's weird.

I think it's option D, the Revision Diff view is tricky.

I thought the Install Wizard was necessary after reverting, but I can't remember if that's always the case or just sometimes.

I feel like I read that using the Revision Diff view could affect what you see after a reinstall, but I can't recall the details.

I think I practiced a question similar to this, and it mentioned something about importing policies. Maybe that's the key?

I remember something about needing to install changes after reverting configurations, but I'm not sure if that's the main reason here.
