Selected Answer: B Not A. p.63 study guide. It doesn't start to drop ALL new sessions. According to your settings it drops sessions that require inspection. Only when extreme threshold is reached it just drop all sessions. But the point here is that initially it DOESN'T START dropping ALL new connections... Only the ones requiring inspection and according to what you configured for AV upvoted 1 times
Selected Answer: B The correct answer is B. Here's what the study guide actually says, precisely: Page 62 — conserve mode actions: FortiGate does not accept configuration changes FortiGate skips quarantine actions (including FortiSandbox analysis) → stops non-essential processes Page 63 — av-failopen (default = pass): "All new sessions pass without inspection until FortiGate switches back to non-conserve mode." This means antivirus scanning stops for new sessions — exactly what option B describes. upvoted 1 times
Selected Answer: B ❌ A) “FortiGate begins dropping all new sessions…” En la guía, dropping new sessions ocurre al superar el umbral Extreme (por defecto ~95%). En el umbral Red (conserve mode) no necesariamente “droppea todo lo nuevo” de inmediato; primero aplica medidas como bypass/limitaciones, y solo si se llega a Extreme se empiezan a dropear nuevas sesiones. La opción A es demasiado absoluta (“all new sessions”) para lo que describe el PDF. upvoted 1 times
Selected Answer: A I don't think there is a mechanism which shuts of logging but that this is an extension of the frozen device. Should be A in my opinion. upvoted 1 times
Selected Answer: B OK because of words "FortiGate ENTERS conserve mode" I then change my mind and expect it not to be directly in Extreme threshold, but Red threshold only. So it won't begin to drop all new sessions. Then most probable answer is B. upvoted 1 times
