B sounds off, FortiGate shouldn't be inline for offline IDS.

Surprised to see D listed, thought it only detects, not blocks.

D seems off because I thought offline IDS can only detect attacks, not block them.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like C could be correct since it does act like a sensor, right?

I think A is definitely true because port mirroring is how it gets the traffic to analyze.

I remember that in offline IDS mode, FortiGate doesn't actually sit in the traffic path, so I think B might be wrong.

I've got this! FortiGate as an offline IDS means it's just monitoring the traffic, not actively processing or blocking it. So options A and C are the correct ones.

Okay, let's see. The question is asking which two statements are true. I'll carefully read each option and eliminate the ones that don't fit the offline IDS scenario.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the difference between "offline IDS" and regular IDS. I'll need to think through the capabilities and limitations of each.

I'm feeling a bit lost on this question. Applying network-queue policies - is that something specific to the Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR platform? I'm not as familiar with the details of that particular device, so I'll have to make an educated guess here.

Hmm, not sure about this one. I'll need to double-check the crontab syntax to make sure I get the time and command right.

I'm a little confused. Is internal also a valid option here, or is protected the only correct choice?

Actually, I think it's A and D. FortiGate receives traffic and can detect attacks.

I agree with Alishia. D makes sense because FortiGate can detect and block network attacks.

But doesn't the traffic need to go through FortiGate for it to act as a network sensor?

Hmm, I think A and C are the correct answers. FortiGate receives traffic through port mirroring, and it acts as a network sensor in an offline IDS setup.

Haha, yeah, option B is a classic trick question. They're trying to catch us out on the difference between inline and offline IDS. Good thing we're all paying attention!

Ah, I see. That makes sense. So FortiGate is just monitoring the traffic, not actually controlling it. That means option B about the traffic going through FortiGate is false.

I think options A and C are the correct answers. FortiGate receives traffic from a mirrored port, so it can act as a network sensor to detect attacks, but it doesn't actually process the live network traffic.

Hmm, this offline IDS question seems tricky. I'm not too sure about the difference between an inline and an offline deployment. Does anyone here have experience with FortiGate in this scenario?
