The correct answers are C and D .

The study guide’s get vpn ipsec tunnel details example shows:

replay: enabled

inbound and outbound sections with separate SPIs

NPU acceleration: encryption(outbound) decryption(inbound) and it labels these as “Phase 2 SAs for each direction” and “Hardware acceleration”

This directly proves D. Anti-replay is enabled , because the output explicitly says replay: enabled

For the NPU status, the study guide explains the exact npu_flag meanings:

npu_flag=00 = both IPsec SAs loaded to the kernel

npu_flag=01 = outbound IPsec SA copied to NPU

npu_flag=02 = inbound IPsec SA copied to NPU

npu_flag=03 = both outbound and inbound IPsec SAs copied to NPU

Because the exhibit shows hardware acceleration in both directions — encryption(outbound) and decryption(inbound) — the matching npu_flag is 03 , not 02. That makes C correct and A incorrect.

Why B is wrong:

The same study guide output labels the tunnel as having Phase 2 SAs for each direction , so different inbound and outbound SPIs are normal for the two SAs. Also, the FortiOS administration guide explains that auto-negotiate controls whether phase 2 SA negotiation is initiated automatically, not whether inbound and outbound SPIs are different: “By default the phase 2 security association (SA) is not negotiated until a peer attempts to send data… Auto-negotiate initiates the phase 2 SA negotiation automatically…”

So the verified answers are: C, D .

The correct answer is D. Assertion dump .

The study guide states that: “SAML 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.”

It also shows the real-time SAML debug output under “ ** Assertion Dump ****”**, 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 “Attributes sent by IdP”

So, although the IdP sends an authentication response overall, the actual section that contains the SAML attributes is the Assertion dump

When FortiGate performs SSL certificate inspection with default settings, it checks if the Server Name Indication (SNI) matches either the Common Name (CN) or any Subject Alternative Name (SAN) in the server certificate. If there is no match, FortiGate does not block the connection; instead, it uses the CN value from the certificate ' s subject field to continue web filtering and categorization.

This behavior is described in the official Fortinet 7.6.4 Administration Guide:

“Check the SNI in the hello message with the CN or SAN field in the returned server certificate: Enable: If it is mismatched, use the CN in the server certificate.” This is the default (Enable) mode, which differs from the Strict mode that would block the mismatched connection.

By default, this policy ensures service continuity and prevents disruptions due to certificate mismatches, allowing FortiGate to log and inspect based on the CN even when the requested SNI does not match. It provides a balance between connection reliability and the accuracy of filtering by certificate identity, allowing security policies to remain functional without unnecessary blocks. This approach is recommended by Fortinet to maintain usability for end-users while still supporting granular inspection.

The exhibit shows a FortiGate configuration under config system fortiguard related to web filtering and FortiGuard options. There is a line:

set webfilter-force-off enable

According to official Fortinet documentation, the " webfilter-force-off " option, when enabled, causes the FortiGate to bypass web filtering for all traffic—even if a web filter profile is applied to a policy. This override is typically used for troubleshooting or performance reasons and is documented as an explicit bypass feature.

If an administrator wants to enforce web filtering inspection, this setting must be disabled. The correct way to restore web filtering functionality is to run:

set webfilter-force-off disable

Once done, traffic passing through policies with web filter profiles will be inspected and filtered as per configuration. Other settings such as timeout or cache TTL do not bypass web filtering; they only affect operational nuances.

The correct answer is B .

The study guide explicitly states that slabs are used by the kernel : “The kernel memory slabs are collections of objects with a common purpose. The kernel uses them to store information in memory.”

It also gives the exact calculation method: “Total slab size = available objects x object size” and explains that in the diagnose hardware sysinfo slab output, the columns are active objects , available objects , and object size

From the exhibit:

tcp_session 3 5 1500 ...

available objects = 5

object size = 1500

So:

Total slab size = 5 × 1500 = 7500

That matches option B .

Why the other options are wrong:

A : ip_session 10 10 1408 ... gives 10 × 1408 = 14080 , but slabs are associated with the kernel , not user space

C : ip6_session 5 0 1472 ... gives 0 × 1472 = 0 , not 1472

D : UDPv6 15 10 1408 ... gives 10 × 1408 = 14080 , but again slabs are associated with the kernel , not user space

So the verified answer is B .

The debug flow message iprope_in_check() check failed, drop specifically indicates a failure in the Local-In Policy check. The " iprope " (IP ROouting Policy Enforcement) engine handles policy lookups. The _in_check suffix confirms that the decision is regarding traffic destined to the FortiGate itself (Local-In traffic), rather than traffic passing through it.

D. The packet was dropped because the requested service is not enabled on FortiGate:

This is the most common cause. When a packet arrives destined for the FortiGate ' s interface IP (e.g., an HTTPS or SSH request), the kernel checks if that specific service is enabled in the interface settings (set allowaccess). If the service is not enabled (e.g., trying to Ping an interface where PING access is disabled), the iprope_in_check function fails and drops the packet immediately.

C. The packet was dropped because the trusted host list is misconfigured:

Even if the service (e.g., HTTPS) is enabled on the interface, the FortiGate checks the Administrator settings. If Trusted Hosts are configured, the source IP of the incoming packet is compared against the allowed list. If the IP is not on the list, the Local-In policy check (iprope_in_check) fails, and the packet is dropped to secure the management plane.

Why other options are incorrect:

A: If traffic is dropped by a standard Firewall Policy (traffic passing through the device from one interface to another), the debug message will typically state denied by policy x or no matching policy. It would generally be a forward check (iprope_fwd_check or similar), not an _in_check.

B: If there is no route to the source, the error is a Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) failure. The debug flow logs this explicitly as reverse path check fail, drop.

The correct answer is D .

The exhibit shows:

session_count=591

clash=162

memory_tension_drop=0

TCP sessions:

166 in NONE state

1 in ESTABLISHED state

3 in SYN_SENT state

2 in TIME_WAIT state

The study guide explains the TCP protocol states and states explicitly:

“When a session is closed by both the sender and receiver, FortiGate keeps that session in the session table for a few seconds, to allow for any out-of-order packets that might arrive after the FIN/ACK packet. This is the state value 5.”

In diagnose sys session stat, the exhibit shows 2 in TIME_WAIT state . Since TIME_WAIT = state value 5 , those are the sessions being kept briefly for possible out-of-order packets. That makes D correct.

Why the other options are wrong:

A is wrong because session_count=591 is the total number of sessions, while the TCP sessions shown add up to only 172 (166 + 1 + 3 + 2). So not all sessions in the table are TCP sessions.

B is wrong because the study guide says the number of sessions deleted because of low free memory is shown by memory_tension_drop , and in the exhibit it is 0 , not 162.

C is wrong because the study guide defines ephemeral/open TCP sessions as those not fully established , but the exhibit does not say all 166 in NONE state are specifically “waiting to complete the three-way handshake.” The clearest directly supported statement from the displayed states is the 2 TIME_WAIT sessions retained for out-of-order packets.

So the verified answer is: D .
