Fortinet FCP_FWF_AD-7.4 Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Scenario:

The IT department wants to prevent direct communication between wireless stations.

There is one SSID configured in bridge mode (all clients on the same SSID/VLAN, directly bridging to the wired network).

Correct Action:

Block intra-SSID traffic (sometimes called “client isolation” or “intra-SSID privacy”).

This feature prevents wireless clients connected to the same SSID from communicating directly with each other at Layer 2.

Each station can reach the network but cannot reach other wireless clients on the same SSID.

This is the industry-standard method to achieve the stated security goal in a wireless environment, especially in bridge mode.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A. Create unique SSIDs for each FortiAP device

Impractical and unnecessary for user isolation; users on the same SSID but different APs can still be isolated with intra-SSID blocking.

B. Add an upstream layer 3 device on each FortiAP device

Overkill and not required; this does not directly solve intra-SSID traffic.

D. Drop all local traffic in the wireless network

Too broad; you only want to prevent client-to-client communication, not all local traffic (such as traffic to the gateway).

Summary:

Block intra-SSID traffic is the intended and correct configuration to prevent wireless stations from communicating directly while sharing the same SSID in bridge mode.

802.1X is the standard for port-based network access control, widely used in enterprise Wi-Fi to:

Authenticate users and devices before granting access to the network.

Authorize network access (optionally placing users into specific VLANs).

It is not for home Wi-Fi (C), does not provide admin privilege (B), and is more complex than open guest Wi-Fi (D).

FortiPresence is Fortinet’s Wi-Fi analytics/cloud presence platform.

FortiAPs can be managed directly by FortiGate or FortiLAN Cloud and connect their analytics/events to the FortiPresence cloud for presence analytics.

FortiSASE and FortiSwitch Manager do not provide FortiPresence integration for APs.
