To trigger layer 2 polling on FortiNAC, the three methods are:A) Polling scripts: These are scripts configured within FortiNAC to actively poll the network at layer 2 to gather information about connected devices.C) Manual polling: This involves manually initiating a polling process from the FortiNAC interface to gather current network information.D) Scheduled tasks: Polling can be scheduled as regular tasks within FortiNAC, allowing for automated, periodic collection of network data.The other options are not standard methods for layer 2 polling in FortiNAC:B) Link traps: These are more related to SNMP trap messages rather than layer 2 polling.E) Polling using API: While APIs are used for various integrations, they are not typically used for initiating layer 2 polling in FortiNAC.FortiNAC Layer 2 Polling Documentation.Configuring Polling Methods in FortiNAC.

Certificate-based authentication is a method of verifying the identity of a device or user by using a digital certificate issued by a trusted authority. For ZTNA deployment, certificate-based authentication is used to ensure that only authorized devices and users can access the protected applications or resources.B) The default action for empty certificates is block. This is true because ZTNA requires both device and user verification before granting access. If a device does not have a valid certificate issued by the ZTNA CA, it will be blocked by the ZTNA gateway. This prevents unauthorized or compromised devices from accessing the network.D) Client certificate configuration is a mandatory component for ZTNA. This is true because ZTNA relies on client certificates to identify and authenticate devices. Client certificates are generated by the ZTNA CA and contain the device ID, ZTNA tags, and other information. Client certificates are distributed to devices by the ZTNA management server (such as EMS) and are used to establish a secure connection with the ZTNA gateway.A) FortiGate signs the client certificate submitted by FortiClient. This is false because FortiGate does not sign the client certificates. The client certificates are signed by the ZTNA CA, which is a separate entity from FortiGate.FortiGate only verifies the client certificates and performs certificate actions based on the ZTNA tags.C) Certificate actions can be configured only on the FortiGate CLI. This is false because certificate actions can be configured on both the FortiGate GUI and CLI. Certificate actions are the actions that FortiGate takes based on the ZTNA tags in the client certificates. For example, FortiGate can allow, block, or redirect traffic based on the ZTNA tags.1: Technical Tip: ZTNA for Corporate hosts with SAML authentication and FortiAuthenticator as IDP2: Zero Trust Network Access - Fortinet

FortiNAC uses a variety of methods to identify devices on the network, such as Vendor OUI, DHCP fingerprinting, and device profiling12.One of the supported communication methods that FortiNAC uses for initial device identification during discovery is SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)3.SNMP is a protocol that allows network devices to exchange information and monitor their status4.FortiNAC can use SNMP to read information from switches and routers, such as MAC addresses, IP addresses, VLANs, and port status3.SNMP can also be used to configure network devices and enforce policies4.Reference:1: Identification | FortiNAC 9.4.0 - Fortinet Documentation2: Device profiling process | FortiNAC 8.3.0 | Fortinet Document Library3: Using FortiNAC to identify medical devices - James Pratt4: How does FortiNAC identify a new device on the network?

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) authentication for ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) HTTPS access proxy is effectively implemented using a Form-based authentication scheme. This approach allows for a secure, interactive, and user-friendly means of capturing credentials. Form-based authentication presents a web form to the user, enabling them to enter their credentials (username and password), which are then processed for authentication against the LDAP directory. This method is widely used for web-based applications, making it a suitable choice for HTTPS access proxy setups in a ZTNA framework.Reference: FortiGate Security 7.2 Study Guide, LDAP Authentication configuration sections.

In the scenario where FortiNAC has alarm mappings configured for MDM (Mobile Device Management) compliance failure and FortiClient EMS (Endpoint Management System) is integrated as an MDM connector, the typical response when an endpoint is quarantined by FortiClient EMS is to isolate the host in the registration VLAN. This action is consistent with FortiNAC's approach to network access control, focusing on ensuring network security and compliance. By moving the non-compliant or quarantined host to a registration VLAN, FortiNAC effectively segregates it from the rest of the network, mitigating potential risks while allowing for further investigation or remediation steps.Reference: FortiNAC documentation, MDM Compliance and Response Actions.

Based on the ZTNA logs provided, the true statement is:A) The Remote_user ZTNA tag has matched the ZTNA rule: The log includes a user tag 'ztna_user' and a policy name 'External_Access_FAZ', which suggests that the ZTNA tag for 'Remote_User' has successfully matched the ZTNA rule defined in the policy to allow access.The other options are not supported by the information in the log:B) An authentication scheme is configured: The log does not provide details about an authentication scheme.C) The external IP for ZTNA server is 10.122.0.139: The log entry indicates 'dstip=10.122.0.139' which suggests that this is the destination IP address for the traffic, not necessarily the external IP of the ZTNA server.D) Traffic is allowed by firewall policy 1: The log entry 'policyid=1' indicates that the traffic is matched to firewall policy ID 1, but it does not explicitly state that the traffic is allowed; although the term 'action=accept' suggests that the action taken by the policy is to allow the traffic, the answer option D could be considered correct as well.Interpretation of FortiGate ZTNA Log Files.Analyzing Traffic Logs for Zero Trust Network Access.

In FortiNAC, to isolate rogue hosts, you should enable the:C) Forced Remediation: This port group membership is used to isolate hosts that have been determined to be non-compliant or potentially harmful. It enforces a remediation process on the devices in this group, often by placing them in a separate VLAN or network segment where they have limited or no access to the rest of the network until they are remediated.The other options are not specifically designed for isolating rogue hosts:A) Forced Authentication: This is used to require devices to authenticate before gaining network access.B) Forced Registration: This group is used to ensure that all devices are registered before they are allowed on the network.D) Reset Forced Registration: This is used to reset the registration status of devices, not to isolate them.

Based on the exhibit showing the status of the hr endpoint, the true statement about this endpoint is:D) The endpoint has been marked at risk: The 'w' next to the host status for the 'hr' endpoint typically denotes a warning, indicating that the system has marked it as at risk due to some security policy violations or other concerns that need to be addressed.The other options do not align with the provided symbol 'w' in the context of FortiNAC:A) The endpoint is a rogue device: If the endpoint were rogue, we might expect a different symbol, often indicating a critical status or alarm.B) The endpoint is disabled: A disabled status is typically indicated by a different icon or status indicator.C) The endpoint is unauthenticated: An unauthenticated status would also be represented by a different symbol or status indication, not a 'w'.

FortiNAC uses SNMP or CLI to communicate with network devices such as routers and switches. To add a Layer 3 router to its inventory, FortiNAC needs to have SNMP or CLI access to the router to perform remote tasks such as polling, VLAN assignment, and port shutdown. Without SNMP or CLI access, FortiNAC cannot manage the router or its ports.Therefore, SNMP or CLI access is a prerequisite for adding a Layer 3 router to FortiNAC's inventory.Reference:https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortinac/9.4.0/administration-guide/105927/inventoryhttps://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortinac/9.4.0/administration-guide/344098/l3-polling

For FortiNAC to perform automated incident response based on FortiGate traffic, the required configuration is:A) FortiNAC should be added as a participant in the Security Fabric: By integrating FortiNAC into the Fortinet Security Fabric, it can respond to incidents based on traffic analysis performed by FortiGate. This allows for coordinated and automated responses to security events.The other options are not specifically required for automated incident response in this context:B) FortiNAC requires read-write SNMP access to FortiGate: While SNMP access is important for certain functions, it is not the key requirement for this specific use case.C) FortiNAC should be configured as a syslog server on FortiGate: Configuring FortiNAC as a syslog server is useful for log collection but not specifically for automated incident response based on traffic.D) FortiNAC requires HTTPS access to FortiGate for API calls: HTTPS access for API calls is important for integration, but it is not the primary requirement for automated incident response based on FortiGate traffic analysis.FortiNAC Integration with FortiGate for Incident Response.Fortinet Security Fabric Documentation.
