Fortinet Exam FCP_FGT_AD-7.4 Topic 1 Question 8 Discussion

Actual exam question for Fortinet's FCP_FGT_AD-7.4 exam
Question #: 8
Topic #: 1
[All FCP_FGT_AD-7.4 Questions]

Refer to the exhibit.

The exhibit shows a diagram of a FortiGate device connected to the network, the firewall policy and VIP configuration on the FortiGate device, and the routing table on the ISP router.

When the administrator tries to access the web server public address (203.0.113.2) from the internet, the connection times out. At the same time the administrator runs a sniffer on FortiGate to capture incoming web traffic to the server and does not see any output.

Based on the information shown in the exhibit, what configuration change must the administrator make to fix the connectivity issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

In this scenario, the FortiGate device is using a Virtual IP (VIP) to map the public IP address (203.0.113.2) to the internal IP address of the web server (172.16.1.10). The fact that the administrator does not see any sniffer output for incoming traffic suggests that the FortiGate is not responding to ARP requests for the public IP address (203.0.113.2).

Enabling arp-reply in the VIP configuration allows the FortiGate to respond to ARP requests for the public IP, thereby allowing traffic to reach the FortiGate, which will then forward it to the web server based on the VIP mapping.

Enabling arp-reply in the VIP config sounds like the way to go here. Can't hurt to try it.

Haha, better not choose the loopback interface option, that's just asking for trouble!

Hmm, looks like something's up with the routing table on the ISP router. Time to dig a little deeper.

I think enabling arp-reply in the VIP configuration might fix the issue.

We should check the routing table on the ISP router.

Hmm, that makes sense too. Let's discuss more before the exam.

I disagree, I believe the answer is D) Enable port forwarding on the server to map the external service port to the internal service port.

I think the correct answer is B) In the VIP configuration, enable arp-reply.

A) Configure a loopback interface with address 203.0.113.2/32.
