Fortinet NSE8_812 Exam - Topic 1 Question 27 Discussion

Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE8_812 exam

Question #: 27
Topic #: 1

Refer to the exhibit.

You have deployed a security fabric with three FortiGate devices as shown in the exhibit. FGT_2 has the following configuration:

FGT_1 and FGT_3 are configured with the default setting. Which statement is true for the synchronization of fabric-objects?

AObjects from the FortiGate FGT_2 will be synchronized to the upstream FortiGate.

BObjects from the root FortiGate will only be synchronized to FGT__2.

CObjects from the root FortiGate will not be synchronized to any downstream FortiGate.

DObjects from the root FortiGate will only be synchronized to FGT_3.

Show Suggested 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 This means that the FortiGate will check the OCSP server to see if the certificate has been revoked, and it will also check the CRL to see if the certificate has been revoked.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.

C sounds correct to me, no sync to downstream.

FGT_2 syncs objects to upstream FortiGates.

I feel like the answer might be that objects from FGT_2 sync to FGT_1 and FGT_3, but I can't remember the specifics.

I practiced a similar question where the root device only synced to one downstream device. I wonder if that's the case here too.

I think the root FortiGate should sync its objects to the downstream devices, but I can't recall if it goes both ways.

I remember something about how fabric objects sync in a hierarchy, but I'm not sure if FGT_2 can sync to both FGT_1 and FGT_3.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the default settings for FGT_1 and FGT_3. I'll need to double-check the information provided to determine the correct answer.

The key here is to identify which FortiGate is the root device and how the synchronization should work based on the configuration of FGT_2. I'm feeling confident I can solve this.

Okay, let me take a closer look at the exhibit and the FortiGate configuration. I think I have a good understanding of how the fabric-objects should be synchronized.

Okay, I'm pretty confident this is asking about the business architecture phase. That's where you model the high-level business elements like capabilities and value streams.

I'm not entirely sure if the statement is true or false. I mean, can you create an app without the Scaffold?

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is to remember that iRule events are tied to specific points in the client-server communication, not just any point.

I'm leaning towards optimized services as a possible answer, but it's tough to decide without more context.

This is like a security version of 'If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?' The root FortiGate might as well be a tree falling if it doesn't sync to anything.

Ah, I see what they're getting at. The root FortiGate only syncs to the one with the custom config. Makes sense, I guess. *shrugs*

Hmm, I'm confused. If FGT_2 is the only one with a custom config, shouldn't the objects from the root FortiGate sync to that one? This question is tricky.

Wait, so the root FortiGate doesn't sync to the downstream devices? That seems like a security nightmare. I better double-check the documentation on this one.
