NSE7_ZTA-7.2 Exam Dumps - Fortinet Certification Questions and Answers

 In the context of zero-trust telemetry compliance, the three true statements are:

• A. FortiClient EMS creates dynamic policies using ZTNA tags: FortiClient EMS utilizes ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) tags to create dynamic policies based on the telemetry it receives from endpoints.
• B. FortiClient checks the endpoint using the ZTNA tags provided by FortiClient EMS: FortiClient on the endpoint uses the ZTNA tags from FortiClient EMS to determine compliance with the specified security policies.
• D. FortiOS provides network access to the endpoint based on the zero-trust tagging rules: FortiOS, the operating system running on FortiGate devices, uses the zero-trust tagging rules to make decisions on network access for endpoints.

The other options are not accurate in this context:

• C. ZTNA tags are configured in FortiClient, based on criteria such as certificates and the logged-in domain: ZTNA tags are typically configured and managed in FortiClient EMS, not directly in FortiClient.
• E. FortiClient EMS sends the endpoint information received through FortiClient Telemetry to FortiOS: While FortiClient EMS does process telemetry data, the direct sending of endpoint information to FortiOS is not typically described in this manner.

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. References: 1: Identification | FortiNAC 9.4.0 - Fortinet Documentation 2: Device profiling process | FortiNAC8.3.0 | Fortinet Document Library 3: Using FortiNAC to identify medical devices - James Pratt 4: How does FortiNAC identify a new device on the network?

When FortiClient EMS is configured as an MDM connector on FortiNAC, it allows FortiNAC to obtain host information from FortiClient EMS and use it for network access control. FortiNAC polls FortiClient EMS periodically (every 5 minutes by default) to update already registered hosts in FortiNAC. This ensures that FortiNAC has the latest host data from FortiClient EMS, such as device type, OS, IP address, MAC address, hostname, and FortiClient version. FortiNAC can also use FortiClient EMS as an authentication source for devices that have FortiClient installed. FortiNAC does not send any data to FortiClient EMS or check for device vulnerabilities and compliance with FortiClient123. References := 1: MDM Service Connectors | FortiClient EMS Integration 2: FortiClient EMS Device Integration|FortiNAC 9.4.0 - Fortinet Documentation 3: Technical Tip: Integration with FortiClient EMS

 A persistent agent is an application that works on Windows, macOS, or Linux hosts to identify them to FortiNAC Manager and scan them for compliance with an endpoint compliance policy. A persistent agent can support advanced custom scans and software inventory, apply supplicant configuration to a host, and be used for automatic registration and authentication. References :=

Given the output showing a real-time debug, the statement that describes the login failure is:

• C. student is not part of the usergroup SSL_VPN_Users: The debug log contains a line that says "fnbam_cert_check_group_list-checking group with name 'SSL_VPN_Users'" followed by "peer_check_add_peer_check_student" and later "RDN_match-Checking 'CN' val 'STUDENT' -- no match." This suggests that the certificate presented has a common name (CN) of 'student', which does not match or is not authorized under the 'SSL_VPN_Users' group expected for successful authentication.

To prevent direct host-to-host communication at layer 2 and use only FortiGate to inspect all the VLAN traffic, an administrator must configure:

• B. Block intra-VLAN traffic in the VLAN interface settings: This setting prevents direct communication between hosts within the same VLAN, forcing traffic to be routed through FortiGate for inspection.
• D. Configure static routes to allow subnets: By setting up static routes, the administrator ensures that traffic between different subnets is correctly routed through the FortiGate for inspection and policy enforcement.
• E. Configure a firewall policy to allow the desired traffic between hosts: Firewall policies on the FortiGate will dictate what traffic is permitted between hosts, ensuring that only authorized traffic is allowed.

The other options are not typically required for this setup:

• A. Configure proxy ARP to allow traffic: Proxy ARP is not necessary for this scenario as it involves answering ARP requests on behalf of another host, which is not relevant to blocking intra-VLAN traffic.
• C. Add the VLAN interface to a software switch: This would create a switch-like environment on the FortiGate, which is counterproductive to the goal of preventing direct host-to-host communication at layer 2.

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.

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.

 User/host profiles are used to map sets of hosts and users to different types of policies or rules on FortiNAC. Among the options given, network access and endpoint compliance are the two types of configuration that can be associated with a user/host profile. Network access configuration determines the VLAN, CLI configuration or VPN group that is assigned to a host or user based on their profile. Endpoint compliance configuration defines the policies that checkthe host or user for compliance status, such as antivirus, firewall, patch level, etc. Service connectors and inventory are not types of configuration, but features of FortiNAC that allow integration with other services and devices, and collection of host and user data, respectively. References := User/host profiles | FortiNAC 9.4.0 - Fortinet Documentation and User/host profiles | FortiNAC 9.4.0 - Fortinet Documentation
