Fortinet Updated NSE7_PBC-7.2 Exam Questions and Answers by scarlet

When an administrator decides to use the 'Use managed identity' option for the FortiGate SDN connector with Microsoft Azure and faces a connection failure, the correct action to take is:

C.Make sure to enable the system assigned managed identity on Azure.

• Managed Identity Configuration:The system assigned managed identity is a feature in Azure that provides an identity for the Azure service instance (in this case, the FortiGate SDN connector) within Azure Active Directory and eliminates the need for credentials to be stored in the configuration.
• Troubleshooting Connection Issues:If the SDN connector is failing to connect, it could be because the system assigned managed identity has not been enabled or configured properly in Azure for the FortiGate service.

References:Azure documentation on managed identities explains the need to enable and configure this feature for services to authenticate and interact securely with Azure resources.

The correct answer is D. CloudWatch and S3.

According to the GitHub repository for the Fortinet aws-lambda-tgw script1, this function requires the following AWS services:

• CloudWatch: A monitoring and observability service that collects and processes events from various AWS resources, including Transit Gateway attachments and route tables.
• S3: A scalable object storage service that can store the configuration files and logs generated by the Lambda function.

By using the Fortinet aws-lambda-tgw script, you can automate the creation and configuration of Transit Gateway Connect attachments for your FortiGate devices.This can help you save time and avoid errors when adding more spoke VPCs to an existing hub and spoke topology1.

The other AWS services mentioned in the options are not required for this task. GuardDuty is a threat detection service that monitors for malicious and unauthorized behavior to help protect AWS accounts and workloads. WAF is a web application firewall that helps protect web applications from common web exploits. Inspector is a security assessment service that helps improve the security and compliance of applications deployed on AWS. DynamoDB is a fast and flexible NoSQL database service that can store various types of data.

The Azure SDN connector uses two types of queries to interact with the Azure management API. The first query is targeted to a special IP address to get a token. This token is used to authenticate the subsequent queries. The second type of query is used to retrieve information about the Azure resources, such as virtual machines, network interfaces, network security groups, and public IP addresses. Some queries are made to manage public IP addresses, such as assigning or releasing them from the FortiGate VM. References: Configuring an SDN connector in Azure, Azure SDN connector using service principal, Troubleshooting Azure SDN connector

Confirming to delete all the resources in Terraform will have the following impact:

D.It destroys all the resources in the state file.

• Terraform State File Role:Theterraform.tfstatefile contains a real-time mapping of the resources that Terraform manages, including their current configuration and relationships. This file tracks the actual state of resources provisioned by Terraform.
• Impact of Destruction:When Terraform prompts for confirmation to destroy resources, and 'yes' is entered, Terraform reads the state file and systematically removes all the resources that are managed as part of that state. This is not limited to a specific .tfvars file, IAM user, or resource group—it is a global action that affects all resources tracked by the state file associated with the current Terraform workspace and configuration.

References:The function of theterraform.tfstatefile and the impact of resource destruction are detailed in Terraform's official documentation. This behavior is fundamental to how Terraform manages infrastructure as code.
