Topic #: 5
[All NSE8_812 Questions]

Review the following FortiGate-6000 configuration excerpt:

Based on the configuration, which statement is correct regarding SNAT source port partitioning behavior?

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 believe the correct answer is A) as it would ensure efficient utilization of resources across the FortiGate-6000.

I'm not sure, but I think C) It statically distributes SNAT source ports to operating FPCs or FPMs could also be a possibility.

Option A seems the most straightforward, but 'dynamically distributing' ports raises some questions. Does that mean it's constantly shifting them around?

Exactly, it helps balance the traffic across different components.

That makes sense, it probably adjusts based on load.

I agree with Julian, because it makes sense for the ports to be dynamically distributed for load balancing.

Wait, so we're talking about 'partitioning' source ports? I thought this was a FortiGate, not a potluck dinner!

I'm just hoping the exam doesn't ask me to 'forge' any FortiGate configurations. That would be a bit too 'dynamic' for my liking.

Option B seems logical, but I'm not too sure about the 'preserves active sessions' part. Hmm, need to double-check that.

I think option B is correct, it distributes SNAT source ports to keep sessions active.
