Infrastructure Flashcards
What relies on well-known FortiOS features such as IPSec, auto-discovery VPN, link monitoring, advanced routing, internet service database (ISDB), traffic shaping, UTM inspection, and load balancing.
SD-WAN
What is the default operation mode on for the Fortigate
NAT Mode
Standard routing table containing connected, static, and dynamic routes
RIB (Routing Information Base) table
Routing table from kernel point-of-view, contains RIB and specific system entries
FIB (Forwarding Information Base) table
Which route table does the Fortigate perform route lookups from?
FIB
“get router info kernel” does what?
CLI command to show the FIB table
Subsequent packets are routed according to what?
Session table
What is the first tiebreaker that routers use for best route?
Distance or Administrative Distance (AD)
If distance is the same on 2 or more dynamic routes, what is used to determine best route?
Metric (lower takes priority)
Two or more duplicate static routes with same distance and priority is what?
ECMP (Equal Cost Multi-Path) routes
Default priority for static routes?
1
What are the 4 algorithms for ECMP
1) Source IP (default)
2) Source-Destination IP
3) Weighted
4) Usage (Spillover)
Reducing costs by steering more traffic over low-cost fast internet links rather than high-cost slow private links
Hybrid WAN
Most common use case for SD-WAN?
Direct Internet Access (DIA) or local breakout
SD-WAN steering rules are based on what?
Matching traffic criteria, Performance, and Preference
Where in the order does SD-WAN routes get processed?
Before FIB (routing table)
What is replaced with load-balance-mode when SD-WAN is enabled?
v4-ecmp-mode
What is the default ECMP algorithm on Fortigate
Source IP
How does Fortigate load balance traffic when using the spillover algorithm in ECMP routing?
Session are distributed based on interface thresholds
What is the mechanism that protects Fortigate and the network from IP spoofing attacked by checking for a return path to the source in the route table?
Return Path Forwarding (RPF)
What are the two types of RPF?
Feasible Path and Strict
What does strict RPF do that Feasible Path RPF doesn’t?
Verifies that the matching source address and interface matches the best route
What satisfies the default RPF check?
Routing table has a route fro the source IP of the packet through the incoming interface
Static routes are kept in the routing table unless:
associated interface is admin down, OR the link goes down, OR a duplicate route with a lower distance is present
Enables the Fortigate to detect dead links what the failure is beyond the local connection
Link Health Monitor
Default number of failed and successful probes to change the status with Link Health Monitor
5
Most accurate Link Health Monitor Protocol?
TWAMP (Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol)
Most deployed Link Health Monitor protocol?
PING
What are the 5 options for Link Health Montior Protocols
Ping, TCP Echo, UDP Echo, TWAMP, and HTTP
