FCP_ZCS_AD-7.4 FCP - Azure Cloud Security 7.4 Administrator Question and Answers

The debug output shows that the UbuntuServer address object successfully resolved an IP, while the webServer did not. The most likely cause is a mismatch in the dynamic address filter or missing tags on the target VM.

Verify the filter used for the dynamic firewall address – The filter category=windows may not match any VM metadata, resulting in no matched addresses.

Verify the tags on the target VM – Ensure that the VM has the correct tags (e.g., category=windows) that match the dynamic address filter to enable resolution.

The branch-to-hub to hub-to-branch topology in Azure Virtual WAN enables efficient branch-to-branch communication by routing traffic through connected hubs. This improves data transfer speed and reliability between branches without needing direct connections between all sites, simplifying management while maintaining performance.

Azure does not allow you to view an existing client secret’s value after creation for security reasons. If you did not save the client secret when it was first generated, the quickest and only option is to create a new client secret under the existing app registration and use the new value in your FortiGate configuration.

Azure Firewall is a cloud-native, fully managed network security service designed to control and log network traffic using Azure policies. In contrast, the FortiGate VM is a network virtual appliance (NVA) that delivers comprehensive security features, including firewalling, IPS, antivirus, VPN, and application control, suitable for both on-premises and cloud deployments.

Azure Virtual WAN is designed for large-scale, automated, and global branch connectivity, supporting hub-and-spoke architectures across multiple regions. It enables centralized routing, hub-to-hub connectivity, and integrates with VPN, ExpressRoute, and SD-WAN solutions, making it ideal for complex, multi-region deployments as shown in the diagram.

In an active-passive HA deployment of FortiGate VMs in Azure using the Marketplace template, configuration synchronization is handled via unicast FortiGate Clustering Protocol (FGCP). FGCP allows the primary unit to replicate its configuration and session information to the secondary unit, ensuring seamless failover.

The route server subnet in Azure is a dedicated subnet that hosts the Azure Route Server, which functions as the hub for dynamic routing information exchange between Azure virtual networks and BGP-enabled network virtual appliances (NVAs) or on-premises routers. It enables seamless and centralized route propagation.
