FortiGate will close the connection if the SNI does not match the CN or SAN fields.

FortiGate will close the connection if the SNI does not match the CN and SAN fields

23. A network administrator is reviewing firewall policies in both Interface Pair View and By Sequence View. The policies appear in a different order in each view.

Why is the policy order different in these two views?

By Sequence View groups policies based on rule priority, while Interface Pair View always follows the order of traffic logs.

The firewall dynamically reorders policies in Interface Pair View based on recent traffic patterns, but By Sequence View remains static.

Interface Pair View sorts policies based on matching interfaces, while By Sequence View shows the actual processing order of rules.

Policies in Interface Pair View are prioritized by security levels, while By Sequence View strictly follows the administrator's manual ordering.

27. Refer to the exhibits.













Based on the current HA status, an administrator updates the override and priority parameters on HQ-NGFW-1 and HQ-NGFW-2 as shown in the exhibits.

What would be the expected outcome in the HA cluster?

HQ-NGFW-2 will take over as the primary because it has the override enable setting and higher priority than HQ-NGFW-1.

HQ-NGFW-1 will remain the primary because HQ-NGFW-2 has lower priority

The HA cluster will become out of sync because the override setting must match on all HA members.

HQ-NGFW-1 will synchronize the override disable setting with HQ-NGFW-2.

28. Which statement correctly describes NetAPI polling mode for the FSSO collector agent?

The collector agent uses a Windows API to query DCs for user logins.

The NetSessionEnum function is used to track user logouts.

NetAPI polling can increase bandwidth usage in large networks.
