Fortinet FCP_FMG_AD-7.4 Exam Dumps

When a FortiGate device, like the ISFW (Internal Segmentation Firewall), is moved from one ADOM to another in FortiManager, the status of the device in the new ADOM will temporarily show some level of inconsistency or unknown state until the ADOM fully syncs and integrates the device.

In the provided options, we are analyzing the FortiManager diagnose dvm device list output for the ISFW device.

Explanation of the Outputs:

Option A:

The output shows that the device has the following status:

dev-db: not modified

conf: in sync

cond: OK

dm: retrieved

The key part here is the pkg: [unknown]. This suggests that the configuration package for the ADOM in the new environment is still in an unknown state, which happens right after moving the device to a new ADOM. FortiManager needs time to process the device's configuration before syncing it properly.

Option B:

This output shows the pkg: [out-of-sync]. This occurs after some configuration mismatch is identified, but it is not the immediate output after moving a device to a new ADOM.

Option C:

This output shows pkg: [never-installed], which indicates that no package was ever installed on the device. This status typically appears when a device is newly added to FortiManager but not immediately after moving it between ADOMs.

Option D:

This output shows pkg: [imported], which indicates that the device configuration has been successfully imported into the new ADOM. This would occur after the device is fully synced, but not immediately after moving the device to a new ADOM.

Conclusion:

The output that is displayed immediately after moving the ISFW device from one ADOM to another is Option A, where the package status is still unknown (pkg: [unknown]) because FortiManager has not yet fully synchronized the device's configuration in the new ADOM.

Meta fields in FortiManager can be used to add additional metadata or custom attributes to various objects, such as firewall addresses or other configuration objects. These meta fields help in organizing and identifying objects with custom information that is not part of the standard configuration. They are particularly useful for categorizing or tagging objects in large environments.

When operating in workspace mode on FortiManager 7.4, the administrator must understand how object references and deletions work:

Option C - 'FortiManager will not allow the administrator to delete a referenced address object until they lock the ADOM': In workspace mode, all changes are managed within an Administrative Domain (ADOM) scope. When an object (like an address object) is referenced in a policy, FortiManager prevents its deletion to maintain configuration integrity. The ADOM must be locked by the administrator to make changes to any referenced objects. This locking mechanism ensures that no unintended deletions or changes occur that could disrupt the policies or configuration.

FortiManager Reference: 'In workspace mode, changes to objects or policies require the ADOM to be locked. If an object is referenced, you must lock the ADOM before deleting or modifying the object.' (FortiManager 7.4 Administration Guide, Section on Workspace Mode and ADOM Management)

Option D - 'FortiManager will replace the deleted address object with the none address object in the referenced firewall policy': If the administrator attempts to delete an address object that is currently referenced by a firewall policy, FortiManager will replace the deleted object with the 'none' address object. This is done to maintain the policy structure and avoid policy corruption due to a missing reference. This behavior ensures that the firewall policy remains syntactically correct, even though the specific address object is no longer in use.

FortiManager Reference: 'When a referenced object is deleted, FortiManager will replace it with a 'none' object in the policy. This behavior is to ensure the integrity and continuity of the policy configurations.' (FortiManager 7.4 Administration Guide, Object Management and Policy Handling in Workspace Mode)
