Fortinet NSE7_NST-7.2 Exam Dumps - Actual Questions Answers

The BGP summary output shows the state of the 10.200.3.1 peer as "Connect." This state indicates that the local router has attempted to initiate a BGP session with the peer, but the peer has not yet responded to the initial connection request.

State Explanation: The "Connect" state in BGP indicates that the TCP connection has been initiated but is waiting for a response. If the peer does not respond within the configured timers, the session will transition to the "Active" state and retry the connection.

Possible Causes: This can occur due to network issues preventing the peer from responding, a misconfiguration on the peer device, or issues like access control lists (ACLs) blocking the BGP traffic.

To troubleshoot, check the connectivity between the routers, ensure that the BGP configurations on both sides match, and verify that there are no firewalls or ACLs blocking the BGP packets.

Diagnose NPU NP6 Port-list Disable Command:

Thediagnose npu np6 port-list disablecommand disables specific ports on the NP6 processor. This can help in cases where you need to analyze traffic and the hardware offloading is interfering.

Command:diagnose npu np6 port-list disable 5 17(as shown in Option A).

Diagnose NPU NP6 Fastpath Disable Command:

Disabling the fastpath feature on NP6 can also allow for better visibility into the traffic as it bypasses hardware acceleration, which might obscure traffic details.

Command:diagnose npu np6 fastpath disable 0(as shown in Option C).

The exhibit shows a sniffer capture where TCP port 8013 is being used for communication. The communication appears one-way, indicating potential issues with the upstream FortiGate receiving the necessary packets or being able to respond.

To ensure successful communication in a Security Fabric setup:

Ensure TCP port 8013 is not blocked along the way: Verify that no firewalls or network devices between the downstream and upstream FortiGates are blocking TCP port 8013. This port is crucial for Security Fabric communication.

Authorize the downstream FortiGate on the root FortiGate: In the Security Fabric, the root FortiGate must recognize and authorize the downstream FortiGate to allow proper communication and management.

Enable Security Fabric/Fortitelemetry on the receiving interface of the upstream FortiGate: The upstream FortiGate must have the Security Fabric or Fortitelemetry enabled on the interface that receives the communication from the downstream FortiGate. This enables proper data exchange and monitoring within the Security Fabric.
