Reveal correct answers
Correct answers: B, D
Explanation
Correct Answers: B and D
B. Both interfaces must have directly connected routes on the routing table.
Correct because when an interface is assigned an IP address in NAT mode, FortiGate automatically adds a directly connected route to the routing table.
This ensures that FortiGate can correctly forward traffic between interfaces.
D. Both interfaces must have IP addresses assigned.
Correct because in NAT mode, FortiGate must have an IP address assigned to each connected interface.
This allows FortiGate to route and translate traffic between the LAN and DMZ networks.
A. Both interfaces must have the interface role assigned.
Incorrect because assigning an interface role (LAN, WAN, DMZ, etc.) is optional and mainly used for administrative organization.
It does not affect connectivity or routing functionality.
C. Both interfaces must have DHCP enabled.
Incorrect because DHCP is optional.
Interfaces can be configured with static IP addresses instead of using DHCP.
Even if one interface is a DHCP client, the other does not need to be.
