Fortinet NSE6_FSW-7.2 Exam - Topic 1 Question 37 Discussion

Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE6_FSW-7.2 exam
Question #: 37
Topic #: 1
[All NSE6_FSW-7.2 Questions]

Exhibit.

Two routes are not installed in the forwarding information base (FIB) as shown in the exnibit. Which two statements about these two route entries are true? (Choose two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, B

From the exhibit and the details given about the routes not installed in the FIB:

These two routes have a higher administrative distance value available to the destination networks (Option A): Administrative distance is a measure used by routers to select the best path when there are two or more different routes to the same destination from two different routing protocols. A higher administrative distance means that the route is considered less trustworthy, thus not selected for the FIB unless the more preferred routes fail.

These two routes will become primary, if the best routes are removed (Option B): In routing, if the currently installed routes (which are considered the best due to reasons like lower administrative distance) are removed or become unavailable, the next best routes based on administrative distance will be used. This behavior ensures redundancy and maintains network connectivity in diverse scenarios.


This approach is aligned with standard routing protocol behavior as documented in networking protocols and Fortinet's routing mechanisms which prioritize routes based on administrative distance and other metrics to maintain efficient and reliable network routing.

Totally agree with B) - they can take over if the best routes go down.

I vaguely recall something about hardware routing tables, but I can't remember if those routes would be listed there or not.

Load-balancing routes usually show in the FIB, so I’m leaning towards A and B being correct.

I think if the best routes are removed, those routes could become primary, but I need to double-check that.

I remember studying administrative distances, but I'm not sure if higher values mean they won't show in the FIB.

Alright, I'm feeling confident about this one. I've reviewed the concepts of FIB and route prioritization, so I think I can identify the two true statements.

I think I've got a strategy here. I'll start by looking at the administrative distance values of the routes, since that's mentioned in option A. Then I'll consider how the routes would be used for load balancing or as backup routes.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I'm not sure how to interpret the information in the exhibit and figure out which statements are true. I'll need to review my notes on FIB and route prioritization.

Okay, let's see here. The exhibit shows the forwarding information base, so I'll need to focus on how the routes are installed and prioritized in the FIB.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully analyze the exhibit and the options to determine which two statements are true.
