A customer’s cybersecurity department needs to implement security for the traffic between two VPCs in AWS, but these belong to different departments within the company. The company uses a single region for all their VPCs. Which two actions will achieve this requirement while keeping separate management of each departments VPC? (Choose two.)

  • A. Create a transit VPC with a FortiGate HA cluster, connect to the other two using VPC peering, and use routing tables to force traffic through the FortiGate cluster

  • C. Migrate all the instances to the same VPC and create IAM accounts for each department, then implement a new subnet for a FortiGate auto-scaling group and use routing tables to force the traffic through the FortiGate cluster
  • D. Create a VPC with a FortiGate auto-scaling group with a Transit Gateway attached to the three VPC to force routing through the FortiGate cluster

Question 5

You are migrating the branches of a customer to FortiGate devices. They require independent routing tables on the LAN side of the network. After reviewing the design, you notice the firewall will have many BGP sessions as you have two data centers (DC) and two ISPs per DC while each branch is using at least 10 internal segments. Based on this scenario, what would you suggest as the more efficient solution, considering that in the future the number of internal segments, DCs or internet links per DC will increase?

  • A. No change in design is needed as even small FortiGate devices have a large memory capacity
  • B. Acquire a FortiGate model with more capacity, considering the next 5 years growth
  • C. Implement network-id, neighbor-group and increase the advertisement-interval
  • D. Redesign the SD-WAN deployment to only use a single VPN tunnel and segment traffic using VRFs on BGP
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
D. Redesign the SD-WAN deployment to only use a single VPN tunnel and segment traffic using VRFs on BGP
