Question 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Which exchange lakes care of DoS protection in IKEv2? Question 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the SAML negotiation process, which section does the Identity Provider (IdP) provide the SAML attributes utilized in the authentication process to the Service Provider (SP)?

Question 5:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What are two reasons you might see iprope_in_check() check failed, drop when using the debug flow? (Choose two.)
A. Create_CHILD_SA
B. IKE_Auth
C. IKE_Req_INIT
D. IKE_SA_NIT
Answer:<\/strong> C
Explanation:<\/strong>
The IKE_SA_INIT exchange in IKEv2 is responsible for DoS protection measures. During IKE_SA_INIT, before authentication and further exchange, the responder can use cookie challenges (per RFC 7296 and Fortinet VPN documentation). If a DoS attack is suspected (many requests from the same source), the responder replies with a cookie. Only after the initiator returns the correct cookie does the exchange proceed, protecting the responder from state exhaustion and certain forms of DoS traffic at the handshake stage.

A. SP Login dump
B. Authentication Response
C. Authentication Request
D. Assertion dump
Answer:<\/strong> D
Explanation:<\/strong>
The correct answer is D. Assertion dump.
The study guide states that: \u201cSAML attributes are pieces of information about a user that are exchanged between IdPs and SPs during the SAML authentication process. These attributes are included in the SAML assertion, which is built by the IdP as part of the authentication process.\u201d
It also shows the real-time SAML debug output under \u201c Assertion Dump **<\/strong>\u201d**, where the SAML attributes appear inside the assertion, such as:
< saml: Attribute Name= ” username ” >
< saml: Attribute Name= ” groups ” >
The same study-guide page explicitly labels this area as \u201cAttributes sent by IdP\u201d
So, although the IdP sends an authentication response overall, the actual section that contains the SAML attributes is the Assertion dump<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which two are recommended IPsec settings for this topology? (Choose two answers.)
A. On the hub, set the tunnel type to static.
B. On the hub, set the parameter mode-cfg to enable.
C. On the spoke, set the parameter net-device to enable.
D. On the spoke, configure the parameter localid.
Answer:<\/strong> C D
Explanation:<\/strong>
The SD-WAN 7.6 Enterprise Administrator Study Guide identifies the recommended BGP-on-loopback IPsec settings.
For branches, it specifies:
\u201cStatic tunnel type (remote end IP address is known).\u201d
\u201cnet-device enable.\u201d
Enabling net-device on the spoke creates a kernel interface for the tunnel. This assists with tunnel monitoring and management and is required to support ADVPN shortcut tunnels. Dynamic BGP establishes on-demand BGP peerings between spokes after an ADVPN shortcut is created; therefore, the spoke must support those dynamic shortcut interfaces. This makes option C correct.
The spoke should also configure localid. The FortiOS 7.6 Administrator Study Guide explains: \u201cLocal ID: if the peer accepts a specific peer ID, type that same peer ID in this field.\u201d The local ID supplies the spoke\u2019s IKE identity to the dial-up hub, allowing the hub to identify and authenticate the connecting spoke correctly. Therefore, option D is correct.
Option A reverses the recommended roles. The hub must use a dynamic tunnel type because it operates as the dial-up server and does not require every spoke\u2019s changing public gateway address in advance.
Option B is also incorrect. The guide states: \u201cThere is no need to configure any tunnel IP address, so the IKE Mode Config is not used.\u201d BGP on loopback uses the loopback address and exchange-interface-ip instead of IKE mode configuration.

A. Check that the inspection mode configured for the web filter profile matches that of the firewall policy where it is applied.
B. Check that FortiGate is not entering conserve mode.
C. Check that the correct port is mapped to HTTP in the Protocol Options
D. Check that the communication between FortiGate and FortiGuard is stable
Answer:<\/strong> B D
Explanation:<\/strong>
Intermittent behavior (working sometimes, failing others) points to resource or connectivity fluctuations rather than static misconfigurations.
B. Check that FortiGate is not entering conserve mode:
Reason: When FortiGate enters Conserve Mode (due to high memory usage), it changes its inspection behavior to save resources. Depending on the av-failopen setting, it may either bypass inspection (allowing blocked sites) or drop traffic (blocking valid sites) temporarily until memory recovers. This flapping between states causes intermittent filtering issues.
D. Check that the communication between FortiGate and FortiGuard is stable:
Reason: The Web Filter engine relies on real-time queries to the FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN) to categorize URLs that are not in the local cache. If the internet connection or the specific path to FortiGuard is unstable (packet loss, latency), queries will time out. This results in ” Rating Errors, ” which can block or allow traffic unpredictably based on the ” Allow websites when a rating error occurs ” setting.
Why other options are incorrect:
A: A mismatch in inspection mode (e.g., Profile set to Proxy, Policy set to Flow) is a static configuration error. It would typically result in the profile not being selectable or consistently failing\/not applying, rather than working intermittently.
C: If the wrong port is mapped (e.g., HTTP on 8080 is not mapped), the inspection engine will consistently ignore traffic on that port. It would not be intermittent.
Reference: FortiGate Security 7.6 Study Guide (Web Filter): ” If the connection to FortiGuard is unstable, users may experience delays or rating errors… Conserve mode can cause the FortiGate to bypass inspection or drop packets. “<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A. Packet was dropped because of policy route misconfiguration.
B. Packet was dropped because of traffic shaping.
C. Trusted host list misconfiguration.
D. VIP or IP pool misconfiguration.
Answer:<\/strong> C D
Explanation:<\/strong>
The Network Security Support Engineer 7.6 Study Guide explicitly explains this debug message:
\u201ciprope_in_check() check failed, drop\u201d means the packet is destined to a FortiGate IP address and one of these conditions applies:
The service is not enabled
The service is using a different TCP port
The source IP address is not included in the trusted host list
The packet matches a local-in policy with action deny
That directly confirms C. Trusted host list misconfiguration.
Why D is the second valid choice:
The FortiOS administration guide explains that:
\u201cIP pools and VIPs are considered local IP addresses if responding to ARP requests on these external IP addresses is enabled \u2026 the FortiGate is considered a destination for those IP addresses \u2026 once an IP pool or VIP has been configured \u2026 the FortiGate considers it as a local address and will not forward traffic based on the routing table.\u201d
Because iprope_in_check() is a local-in\/local-destination type failure, a VIP or IP pool misconfiguration can cause traffic to be treated as destined for the FortiGate itself, which can then trigger this drop condition if the matching local service\/local-in handling is not valid. So D is the closest supported second answer from the available choices.
Why the other options are wrong:
A is wrong because policy route problems are not the documented meaning of this specific debug message.
The study guide instead ties iprope_in_check() check failed, drop to management\/local-in conditions.
B is wrong because the study guide says traffic shaping drops appear as: \u201cDenied by quota check\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
