Refer to the exhibit.

The port1 interface configuration on FortiGate and partial session information for ICMP traffic are shown.

Which two things happen to the session information if a routing change occurs that affects this session? (Choose two answers)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, C

The correct answers are A and C.

The exhibit shows that preserve-session-route is enabled on port1:

config system interface

edit 'port1'

set preserve-session-route enable

next

end

The study guide explains the effect of this setting exactly:

''enable: FortiGate marks existing session routing information as persistent, and applies only the modified routes to new sessions''

It also states:

''The current route must still be present in the FIB. Otherwise, FortiGate flags the session as dirty and reevaluates it''

And the same page further clarifies:

''If you enable this setting, sessions passing through that interface continue to pass without being affected by the routing changes. The routing changes apply only to new sessions. If the route is removed from the FIB, then FortiGate must flag the session as dirty, flush its gateway information, and reevaluate the session.''

This proves:

A is correct because with preserve-session-route enable, existing sessions are normally preserved and routing changes apply only to new sessions.

C is correct because the session remains unchanged unless the current route is removed from the FIB/routing table, in which case FortiGate dirties and reevaluates the session.

Why the other options are wrong:

B is wrong because when the active route is removed, FortiGate does not simply mark the session dirty and stop there. The study guide says it ''flags the session as dirty and reevaluates it'', which means route lookup happens again.

D is wrong because the session does change if the active route is removed. FortiGate flushes gateway information and reevaluates the session.

So the verified answers are: A, C.

Just to clarify, routing changes don't affect existing sessions, right?

Wait, D) seems off, how can it not change if the route is removed?

C) sounds right, the session info stays unless the route is gone.

A) is definitely true, routing changes only affect new sessions.

I’m a bit confused about option D. I thought sessions would change if the active route is removed, but maybe I misread that part in the notes.

I practiced a similar question where the session was unaffected unless the route was removed. I feel like option C might be correct here.

I think option A is definitely wrong because routing changes usually impact existing sessions, right?

I remember studying that sessions can be affected by routing changes, but I'm not sure if they get flagged as dirty or not.
