Question 1

Refer to the exhibit.

An organization deployed the application servers in the AWS VPC that connects to the corporate data center using Transit Gateway Connect. Demand for the applications has grown and the connection requires more bandwidth.

What is required to achieve higher bandwidth?



Answer : C

Understanding Transit Gateway Connect:

Transit Gateway Connect is a feature of AWS Transit Gateway that simplifies the integration of SD-WAN networks with AWS. It uses Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels to facilitate this connection.

GRE Tunnels and Bandwidth:

GRE tunnels can dynamically scale to meet increasing bandwidth demands. They allow multiple tunnels between the same endpoints, which can aggregate bandwidth without requiring additional configuration.

Scaling Bandwidth with GRE:

The GRE protocol used by Transit Gateway Connect can support high bandwidth requirements by spreading traffic across multiple tunnels. As demand grows, additional tunnels can be automatically used to handle the increased traffic load.

Comparison with Other Options:

Option A suggests using public IP addresses, which is not relevant to bandwidth scaling.

Option B is incorrect because bandwidth can be increased through GRE scaling.

Option D suggests adding a Transit VPC, which is unnecessary for increasing bandwidth when using Transit Gateway Connect.

Question 2

You want to deploy the Fortinet HA CloudFormation template to stage and bootstrap the FortiGate configuration in the same region in which you created your VPC, which is Ohio US-East-2.

Based on this information, which statement is correct?



Answer : C

Understanding Fortinet HA CloudFormation Template:

The Fortinet High Availability (HA) CloudFormation template is used to automate the deployment and configuration of FortiGate instances in AWS.

Staging and Bootstrapping FortiGate:

Staging involves preparing the necessary configuration files and resources needed for deployment.

Bootstrapping is the process of automatically configuring FortiGate instances upon deployment.

S3 Bucket Requirement:

The configuration files required for staging and bootstrapping are typically stored in an S3 bucket.

Since the deployment is in the Ohio (US-East-2) region, it is recommended to host the S3 bucket in the same region to minimize latency and ensure regional compliance.

Comparison with Other Options:

Option A is incorrect because while an S3 bucket is required, it should be in the same region (US-East-2).

Option B is incorrect as the template does not automatically create the S3 bucket.

Option D is incorrect as DynamoDB is not used for staging and bootstrapping in this scenario.

Question 3

An administrator is adding a web application to be protected by FortiWeb Cloud.

Which two steps are necessary to successfully onboard the application? (Choose two.)

An administrator is adding a web application to be protected by FortiWeb Cloud.

Which two steps are necessary to successfully onboard the application? (Choose two.)



Answer : B, C

Web Application Name:

When onboarding a web application to be protected by FortiWeb Cloud, you need to provide a name for the web application. This helps in identifying and managing the application within the FortiWeb Cloud console (Option B).

DNS Records:

To ensure that traffic to your web application is correctly routed through FortiWeb Cloud, you must create DNS records in the domain server that hosts your application. This ensures that requests are directed to FortiWeb Cloud for inspection and protection (Option C).

Other Considerations:

Option A (Waiting for the EC2 instance) is incorrect as it is not a necessary step for onboarding a web application to FortiWeb Cloud.

Option D (Enabling a CDN) is not a mandatory step for onboarding but can be part of a broader strategy for improving performance and protection.

Question 4

Refer to the exhibit.

Which two statements are correct about traffic flow in FortiWeb Cloud? (Choose two.)



Answer : A, B

DNS Configuration:

For FortiWeb Cloud to effectively protect web applications, the DNS records for the application servers must be configured to point to FortiWeb Cloud. This ensures that all incoming traffic is routed through FortiWeb Cloud for inspection and protection (Option A).

Traffic Filtering:

FortiWeb Cloud provides robust protection by filtering incoming traffic to block the OWASP Top 10 attacks, zero-day threats, and other application layer attacks. This ensures the security and integrity of the web applications it protects (Option B).

Other Options Analysis:

Option C is incorrect because FortiWeb Cloud can protect application servers across different VPCs or regions, not just within the same VPC.

Option D is incorrect because step 2 does not require an AWS S3 bucket; it refers to the inspection and filtering of incoming traffic.

Question 5

Refer to the exhibit.

Which two statements are true about inbound traffic based on the IGW ingress route table and GWLB deployment shown in the exhibit? (Choose two.)



Answer : B, D

Traffic Direction through GWLB Endpoint:

The ingress route table directs inbound traffic to the GWLB through a GWLB endpoint (GWLBe). This endpoint is responsible for directing traffic to the Gateway Load Balancer for further processing (Option B).

GENEVE Encapsulation:

The GWLB encapsulates the inbound traffic using the GENEVE protocol. This encapsulated traffic is then sent to FortiGate instances for security inspection. The use of GENEVE ensures that the original traffic context is preserved and can be analyzed by FortiGate (Option D).

Other Options Analysis:

Option A is incorrect because GWLB does not forward traffic without encapsulation in its dedicated subnet.

Option C is incorrect as the inbound traffic is directed to the GWLB endpoint first, not directly to the application subnet.

Question 6

Your organization is deciding between deploying FortiWeb VM or Fortinet Managed Rules for AWS WAF.

What are two benefits of choosing FortiWeb VM? (Choose two.)



Answer : C, D

Zero-day Protection:

FortiWeb VM provides robust protection against zero-day vulnerabilities through advanced security mechanisms and frequent updates from FortiGuard. This ensures that web applications are protected from newly discovered threats that have not yet been patched or recognized by other security systems (Option C).

Advanced WAF Functionality:

FortiWeb VM offers a range of advanced WAF features that go beyond what is typically provided by managed rules for AWS WAF. These include more detailed traffic analysis, customizable rules, machine learning-based threat detection, and comprehensive logging and reporting capabilities (Option D).

Other Options Analysis:

Option A is more relevant to a consumption-based pricing model but not a specific benefit unique to FortiWeb VM over AWS WAF.

Option B is incorrect because both FortiWeb VM and Fortinet Managed Rules for AWS WAF are powered by FortiGuard updates.

Question 7

An organization has the requirement to connect a data VPC to the on-premises infrastructure of a branch office in a hybrid cloud environment. The connectivity needs the higher bandwidth but the organization does not want to use multiple connections between sites.

Which AWS solution meets the requirement?



Answer : D

Understanding the Requirement:

The organization needs to connect a data VPC to the on-premises infrastructure with high bandwidth.

The solution should avoid multiple connections between sites.

Transit Gateway Connect:

Transit Gateway Connect is designed to integrate with SD-WAN networks and provides scalable bandwidth using GRE tunnels.

It simplifies hybrid cloud connectivity by allowing high bandwidth connections without the need for multiple physical connections.

Benefits of Transit Gateway Connect:

Supports scalable bandwidth through GRE tunnels.

Facilitates seamless integration with on-premises and cloud environments.

Reduces complexity by avoiding the need for multiple VPN connections.

Comparison with Other Options:

Option A (Transit VPC with IPSec) is not preferred due to complexity and potential limitations in bandwidth scalability.

Option B (Internet Gateway) is not suitable for private, high-bandwidth connections.

Option C (Transit Gateway multicast) does not address the requirement for high bandwidth in a hybrid cloud setup.
