Review the following configuration:

What are two routing behaviors that you can expect on FortiWeb after this configuration change? (Choose two.)

ANon-HTTP traffic routed through the FortiWeb is allowed.

BIPv6 routing is enabled.

CNon-HTTP traffic destined to the FortiWeb virtual server IP address is dropped.

DOnly ICMP traffic is allowed. All other traffic is dropped.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, C

FortiWeb is primarily designed to handle HTTP and HTTPS traffic, protecting web applications from various threats. By default, when operating in reverse proxy mode, FortiWeb does not forward non-HTTP/HTTPS protocols to protected servers. However, administrators can configure FortiWeb to handle non-HTTP/HTTPS traffic differently using the config router setting command. This command allows enabling IP-based forwarding (routing) for non-HTTP/HTTPS traffic. When enabled, FortiWeb can route non-HTTP traffic through itself to the appropriate backend servers.

Despite this capability, any non-HTTP/HTTPS traffic that is destined directly for a FortiWeb virtual server IP address is dropped. This means that while FortiWeb can be configured to forward non-HTTP/HTTPS traffic to backend servers, it will not process non-HTTP/HTTPS traffic targeted at its own virtual server IPs.

Regarding IPv6 routing, FortiWeb does support IPv6 in various operation modes, including reverse proxy, offline inspection, and transparent inspection. However, enabling IPv6 routing requires specific configurations and is not automatically enabled by default.

I'm not sure about option D. It seems too restrictive to only allow ICMP traffic.

I believe option C is also correct. It mentions non-HTTP traffic destined to the FortiWeb virtual server IP address being dropped.

C'mon, that's too easy! Of course, non-HTTP traffic destined to the FortiWeb virtual server IP address will be dropped. Gotta keep that thing secure, right?
