Fortinet Updated FCP_FSA_AD-5.0 Exam Questions and Answers by aayat

From the Scanning and Rating Components lesson, the Study Guide explicitly states:

" FortiSandbox allows you to modify the number of CPUs and memory assigned to a custom VM. This feature is supported on hardware models and private cloud VMs. "

Hardware models = Device-based (Option C)

Private cloud VMs = Private cloud (Option A)

Azure non-nested mode and FortiSandbox Cloud do not support custom VM creation as per the Study Guide.

From the Lab Guide (Exercise 4 - Using Inline Scanning) , the following is stated:

" FortiGate and FortiSandbox communicate through port 4443. Management or API ports grant access through port 4443. "

And the CLI command used:

" Enter the following command to enable API access on port2: set api-port port2 "

This confirms:

Option B is correct: Port 4443 uses HTTPS only — API ports will not accept HTTP traffic.

Option C is correct: The API port configuration must be performed using the CLI (set api-port port2), as there is no GUI option for this.

Option A is incorrect: The Study Guide states port3 cannot be a management port, and HA communication ports have dedicated roles that are not interchangeable with API ports.

Option D is incorrect: The CLI command sets the API port directly without requiring a separate administrative interface designation.

From the Deployment and System Settings lesson, the Study Guide explicitly states:

" Initial port1 IP configuration must be performed from the console, using the commands shown on this slide. If your management computer is on a separate subnet from FortiSandbox, you must specify a gateway address using the commands shown on this slide. "

The two required commands are:

set port1-ip < IP address > — to assign the IP address to port1 for GUI access

set default-gw < IP Address > — to configure the default gateway so the management computer can reach FortiSandbox from a different subnet

Option B (set api-port port1) is for API access configuration, and Option C (set admin-port port1) is not a valid FortiSandbox CLI command for this purpose.

The correct answer is C. cleandb . The FortiSandbox 5.0 Administrator Study Guide explicitly states: “The cleandb command will erase all stored data in the FortiSandbox database and reboot the system.” This directly matches the scenario, because the issue is that FortiSandbox contains many obsolete samples and related stored analysis data that are no longer needed. Removing those database contents is exactly what cleandb is designed to do.

The other options do not fit this requirement. The same study guide section says “The log-purge command will remove all system logs,” which affects logs only, not the stored sample database. It also says “The fsck-storage command will check the integrity of the hard disks and repair them if any issues are discovered,” which is for disk integrity troubleshooting, not cleanup of obsolete samples. A factory reset would be far more destructive and is not the stated maintenance tool for this issue. Therefore, cleandb is the correct CLI remediation tool.
