[All NSE7_OTS-7.2 Questions]

Which three criteria can a FortiGate device use to look for a matching firewall policy to process traffic? (Choose three.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, D, E

The three criteria that a FortiGate device can use to look for a matching firewall policy to process traffic are:

A) Services defined in the firewall policy - FortiGate devices can match firewall policies based on the services defined in the policy, such as HTTP, FTP, or DNS.

D) Destination defined as internet services in the firewall policy - FortiGate devices can also match firewall policies based on the destination of the traffic, including destination IP address, interface, or internet services.

E) Highest to lowest priority defined in the firewall policy - FortiGate devices can prioritize firewall policies based on the priority defined in the policy. The device will process traffic against the policy with the highest priority first and move down the list until it finds a matching policy.

I disagree, E is misleading; it's about lowest to highest!

I’m leaning towards the highest to lowest priority being a criterion, but I’m not completely confident about the other options.

I think the policy ID number is definitely one of the criteria, but I can't recall if it's lowest to highest or the other way around.

I remember that the firewall policies are matched based on source and destination, but I'm not sure if it's "internet services" or just general IP addresses.

No problem, I've got this. Services, source, destination - those are the three main criteria the FortiGate uses to match traffic to the right firewall policy.

Wait, is the policy ID number also a criteria? I don't recall that from the material, but I better double-check to be sure.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The key things to look for are the services defined, the source and destination, and the policy priority. I've got this.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the specific criteria the FortiGate uses. I'll need to review my notes on firewall policy configuration to make sure I get this right.

Hmm, let's see... A, C, and E. Easy peasy! Although, I have to say, the priority thing always makes me feel like I'm playing a game of 'Firewall Tetris'.

A, C, and E, no doubt. Although I do wish the FortiGate would just read my mind and apply the right policy. That would be a true superpower.
