Actual exam question for Fortinet's FCSS_EFW_AD-7.4 exam
Question #: 5
Topic #: 5
[All FCSS_EFW_AD-7.4 Questions]

Refer to the exhibit, which shows a network diagram showing the addition of site 2 with an overlapping network segment to the existing VPN IPsec connection between the hub and site 1.

Which IPsec phase 2 configuration must an administrator make on the FortiGate hub to enable equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) routing when multiple remote sites connect with overlapping subnets?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

When multiple remote sites connect to the same hub using overlapping subnets, FortiGate needs to determine which route should be used for traffic forwarding. The route-overlap setting in IPsec Phase 2 allows FortiGate to handle this scenario by deciding whether to keep the existing route (use-old) or replace it with a new route (use-new).

In an ECMP (Equal-Cost Multi-Path) routing setup, both routes should be retained and balanced, but FortiGate does not support ECMP directly over overlapping routes in IPsec Phase 2. Instead, an administrator must decide which connection takes precedence using route-overlap settings.

Is it just me, or does this sound like a job for the 'Route Overlap Avoidance Squad'? Option B all the way!

Yeah, setting net-device to ecmp should help with the overlapping subnets.

Ah, the age-old dilemma of overlapping subnets. I'm feeling Option C, 'single-source to enable', has a certain charm to it. Why not keep it simple, right?

I'm leaning towards Option A, 'set route-overlap to either use-new or use-old'.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think Option A is the way to go - setting route-overlap to use-new or use-old should do the trick.

I'm going with Option D. The 'allow' setting for route-overlap seems like the appropriate configuration to handle the overlapping subnets.
