Fortinet NSE6_FAZ-7.2 Exam Actual Questions

The purpose of executing the provided CLI commands, which include setting the log-checksum to md5-auth, is to ensure the integrity of the log files. This setting is used to record the MD5 hash value of log files, which is a widely used cryptographic hash function that produces a 128-bit (16-byte) hash value. By using MD5 authentication, FortiAnalyzer ensures that the log files have not been altered or tampered with during transit, thereby verifying their integrity upon receipt. This is not related to encrypting log transfers, scheduling reports, or creating secure channels for OFTP (Over-the-FortiGate Protocol) processes.

In a FortiGate high availability (HA) cluster, only the primary device sends its logs to the FortiAnalyzer. This is to ensure that logs are not duplicated between the primary and secondary devices in the cluster. The configuration of the FortiAnalyzer server on the FortiGate is such that the HA primary device is set as the server that forwards the logs. Reference: FortiAnalyzer 7.4.1 Administration Guide, sections mentioning HA cluster configuration and log forwarding.

FortiAnalyzer allows for the inclusion of existing reports in the backup files, providing a comprehensive backup of configurations and data. Additionally, the backup files can be configured to be uploaded to SCP and SFTP servers, ensuring secure transfer and offsite storage of backup data. This can be configured both in the GUI and the CLI, providing flexibility in how backups are scheduled and managed. Reference: FortiAnalyzer 7.4.1 Administration Guide, 'Scheduling automatic backups' section.

Regarding ADOMs (Administrative Domains) in FortiAnalyzer, a fabric ADOM is capable of including all device types that FortiAnalyzer supports. This is part of the flexibility offered by ADOMs to manage and report on logs from various devices within a Fortinet security fabric. ADOMs can be enabled to support non-FortiGate devices as well, and the root ADOM in Fabric ADOMs provides visibility into all Security Fabric devices. Additionally, it should be noted that in normal mode, you cannot assign different FortiGate VDOMs to different ADOMs, while in advanced mode, you can, which provides a more granular control over the log data from individual VDOMs. Reference: FortiAnalyzer 7.4.1 Administration Guide, 'ADOMs' and 'ADOM device modes' sections.

The FortiAnalyzer command execute factory-reset is used to erase all device settings, images, databases, and logs on disk but preserves the current IP address and route information. This command effectively resets the FortiAnalyzer to its factory settings while maintaining its network configuration, allowing it to be quickly reconfigured with the same network settings. Reference: FortiAnalyzer 7.4.1 Administration Guide, 'Reset Commands' section.
