Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE8_812 exam

Question #: 52

Refer to the exhibit.

The exhibit shows the topology a customer wants to implement using a flexible authentication scheme. Users connecting from trusted remote locations are authenticated using only their username/password when connecting to the SSLVPN FortiGate in the data center.

When connecting from the Untrusted Clients, users must authenticate using 2-factor authentication.

In this scenario, which RADIUS attribute can be used as a RADIUS policy selector on the FortiAuthenticator to accomplish this goal?

ACalling-Station-Id

BFramed-IP-Address

CTunnel-Client-Auth-Id

DLogin-IP-Host

Why A? I thought C) Tunnel-Client-Auth-Id makes more sense.

Definitely 2-factor for untrusted clients, no doubt about it!

Framed-IP-Address could also work, but not my first pick.

I vaguely recall that Framed-IP-Address is used for something else, but I can't remember the specifics. I hope I can narrow it down to one of the other options during the exam.

I’m a bit confused about the options. I thought Login-IP-Host was more about the IP address of the client rather than the authentication method.

I practiced a similar question where we had to choose RADIUS attributes based on client types. I feel like Tunnel-Client-Auth-Id could be the right choice for differentiating between trusted and untrusted clients.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The key is identifying the RADIUS attribute that can distinguish between the trusted and untrusted clients.

I'm a bit confused by the 2-factor authentication requirement. I'll need to make sure I understand how that fits into the overall authentication scheme.

Okay, I've got a strategy. I'll consider each answer option and think about how the RADIUS attribute could be used to differentiate between the trusted and untrusted clients.

I remember studying RADIUS attributes, but I'm not entirely sure which one applies here. I think Calling-Station-Id might be relevant for identifying the client location.
