A customer would like to improve the performance of a FortiGate VM running in an Azure D4s_v3 instance, but they already purchased a BYOL VM04 license.

Which two actions will improve performance the most without making a FortiGate license change? (Choose two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, D

Bis correct because the OCSP check of the certificate can be combined with a certificate revocation list (CRL). This means that the FortiGate will check the OCSP server to see if the certificate has been revoked, and it will also check the CRL to see if the certificate has been revoked.

Dis correct because if the OCSP server is unreachable, authentication will succeed if the certificate matches the CA. This is because the FortiGate will fall back to using the CRL if the OCSP server is unreachable.

The other options are incorrect. Option A is incorrect because OCSP checks can go to other OCSP servers, not just the FortiAuthenticator. Option C is incorrect because OCSP certificate responses can be cached by the FortiGate.

I disagree, F4s_v2 is better for cost-effectiveness!

Migrating to an Azure D8s_v3 seems like a good idea, but it would require a license change, which isn't allowed in this scenario. So, I think we should focus on the other options.

I feel like SR-IOV might be relevant, but I can't recall if it directly applies to FortiGate VMs. I need to double-check that.

I remember we discussed how Azure instance types can impact performance, but I'm not sure if migrating to a different instance is the best option here since they already have a license.

I'm a little confused by the SR-IOV option. Does that require any changes to the FortiGate configuration? I'll need to research that one a bit more.

The key here is understanding the purpose and usage of the Path-ID. If it's an optional transitive attribute used to advertise multiple paths, then statement B is likely the correct answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question is asking about what provides the block-level storage, but the answer choices seem to be talking about different file systems. I'll need to think carefully about the relationship between cloud disks and file management systems.

This looks like a straightforward BPMN question. I think the answer is Exclusive gateway, since that's used to implement multiple-branch functions where only one branch can be triggered based on the rules.

I heard the best way to boost FortiGate performance is to run it on a hamster wheel. Just make sure the hamster has a forklift license.

Migrate to the F4s_v2? What is this, a performance arms race? I'll stick with the good ol' D4s_v3 and just turn on that accelerated networking. Easy peasy!

SR-IOV, eh? Isn't that the tech that lets you bypass the hypervisor? Sounds interesting, but I'm not sure the FortiGate supports it. Gotta read the fine print, you know?

D8s_v3, huh? Sounds like a beefier VM, but I'm not sure it'll make a huge difference. I'd go with the accelerated networking first, see if that does the trick.

Accelerated networking is definitely the way to go - it's a proven performance booster for VMs. The FortiGate will love that extra networking oomph!
