Fortinet Exam NSE8_812 Topic 1 Question 19 Discussion

Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE8_812 exam
Question #: 19
Topic #: 1
[All NSE8_812 Questions]

Refer to the exhibit, which shows the high availability configuration for the FortiAuthenticator (FAC1).

Based on this information, which statement is true about the next FortiAuthenticator (FAC2) member that will join an HA cluster with this FortiAuthenticator (FAC1)?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The configuration excerpt shows that the SNAT source port partitioning behavior is set to dynamic. This means that the FortiGate will dynamically distribute SNAT source ports to operating FPCs or FPMs. This ensures that active sessions are not interrupted if an FPC or FPM goes down.

The other options are incorrect. Option B is incorrect because the default SNAT configuration is static. Option C is incorrect because the configuration excerpt does not specify that SNAT source ports are statically distributed. Option D is incorrect because the SNAT source ports are not evenly distributed across chassis slots.

Here are some additional details about SNAT source port partitioning behavior:

SNAT source port partitioning behavior can be set todynamicorstatic.

The default SNAT configuration isstatic.

Dynamic SNAT source port partitioning ensures that active sessions are not interrupted if an FPC or FPM goes down.

Static SNAT source port partitioning can improve performance by reducing the number of SNAT lookups.

I'm just hoping FAC2 doesn't get stage fright when it's time to join the HA cluster. Gotta keep that confidence high!

C is the way to go. The FortiToken license needs to be installed on FAC2 to maintain token-based authentication when failover occurs.

Wait, I need to check if FAC2 can fly too. Gotta make sure it can keep up with FAC1's high availability magic tricks.

Option B is correct. The HA interface of FAC2 can be on a different network than FAC1's HA interface, as long as they can communicate with each other.
