Question 1140
At Oakmont Manufacturing, the FortiGate 7.6 security administration team encounters the following authorized operational case: both peers show an established IKE SA yet applications fail because no relevant phase-two or firewall policy state exists. They need a defensible FortiOS configuration, diagnosis, validation or prevention decision. Which recurring review is most relevant to the same root risk?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Use stepwise IKE, phase-two, route and policy diagnostics. This recurring practice addresses phase-one up but no payload traffic because iKE control-channel establishment is not equivalent to permitted encrypted application forwarding. It reinforces the supported change to review child-SA selectors, tunnel routes and interface firewall policies in the correct sequence rather than relying on an unrelated periodic audit.
Incorrect Answers
Audit remote gateway identities when partners rotate credentials reduces recurrence of ipsec remote peer authentication scope, rather than the observed phase-one up but no payload traffic issue. The relevant preventive control for Oakmont Manufacturing is: Use stepwise IKE, phase-two, route and policy diagnostics. This distinction matters because iKE control-channel establishment is not equivalent to permitted encrypted application forwarding.
Maintain IP allocation governance across acquisitions reduces recurrence of ipsec overlapping address conflict, rather than the observed phase-one up but no payload traffic issue. The relevant preventive control for Oakmont Manufacturing is: Use stepwise IKE, phase-two, route and policy diagnostics. This distinction matters because iKE control-channel establishment is not equivalent to permitted encrypted application forwarding.
Rehearse dead-peer and routing failover with realistic outages reduces recurrence of dead peer detection failover, rather than the observed phase-one up but no payload traffic issue. The relevant preventive control for Oakmont Manufacturing is: Use stepwise IKE, phase-two, route and policy diagnostics. This distinction matters because iKE control-channel establishment is not equivalent to permitted encrypted application forwarding.
