Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

IKE_SA_INIT Exchange:

The IKE_SA_INIT exchange is the first step in the IKEv2 negotiation process. It is responsible for setting up the initial security association (SA) and performing Diffie-Hellman key exchange.

During this exchange, the responder may employ various measures to protect against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, such as rate limiting and the use of puzzles to increase the computational cost for an attacker.

DoS Protection Mechanisms:

One key method involves limiting the number of half-open SAs from any single IP address or subnet.

The IKE_SA_INIT exchange can also incorporate the use of stateless cookies, which help to verify the initiator's legitimacy without requiring extensive resource allocation by the responder until the initiator is verified.


RFC 5996: Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2 (IKEv2) (RFC Editor).

RFC 8019: Protecting Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2 (IKEv2) Implementations from Distributed Denial-of-Service Attacks (IETF Datatracker).

Wait, wait, wait... Captive portal? Seriously? That's got to be the most hilarious answer option I've ever seen on a FortiGate exam!

I can't believe they actually have that as an answer option. It does sound pretty funny.

I'm not sure, but I'll go with C) FortiGate redirected the client to the captive portal to authenticate, so that a correct policy match could be made.

I totally disagree! The session is being redirected to the captive portal, so C must be the right answer.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. The session table doesn't seem to indicate any IPS inspection, so I'm going with D.
