FCSS_EFW_AD-7.6 Exam Dumps : Fortinet NSE 7 - Enterprise Firewall 7.6 Administrator

The Multi-Exit Discriminator (MED) is a BGP attribute used to influence the preferred path for incoming traffic from an external autonomous system (AS). The diagram shows that FortiGate_1 advertises MED 200, while FortiGate_2 advertises MED 300, meaning the ISP will prefer the route through FortiGate_1 because a lower MED is preferred in BGP.

To modify the MED value on FortiGate_1 for routes advertised to AS 30, the administrator must configure a route-map-out. A route map can match specific routes and set the MED value before sending them to the BGP neighbor.

From the OSPF status output, the key information is:

● "This router is an ASBR" → This means the FortiGate is acting as an Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR).

● An ASBR is responsible for injecting external routing information into OSPF from another routing protocol (such as BGP, static routes, or connected networks).

In this scenario, the corporate network and the new remote office network need to communicate over the Internet, which requires a secure and dynamic routing method. Since both networks are using OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) as the routing protocol, the best approach is to establish an OSPF over IPsec VPN to ensure secure and dynamic route propagation.

OSPF is already running on the corporate network, and extending it over an IPsec tunnel allows dynamic route exchange between the corporate FortiGate and the remote office FortiGate. IPsec provides encryption for traffic over the Internet, ensuring secure communication. OSPF over IPsec eliminates the need for manual static routes, allowing automatic route updates if networks change.

The new remote office's 192.168.1.0/24 subnet will be advertised dynamically to the corporate network without additional configuration.
