Exam FCP_FAZ_AN-7.6 Topic 3 Question 67 Discussion

The topology shows a Security Fabric setup involving FortiGate devices (FGT-A and FGT-B) and a FortiAnalyzer for centralized logging. Let's break down the logging and traffic flow behavior:
Traffic Flow Analysis:
Client-1 initiates web traffic directed to the internet, which is routed through FGT-B and then FGT- A before reaching the internet. This is indicated by the direction of the red-dashed arrow from Client-1 through FGT-B to FGT-A.
Policy and NAT Settings:
On FGT-B, NAT is disabled, meaning it will pass the traffic through without altering the source IP.
This device has a Web Filter enabled with a policy to log violations only. On FGT-A, NAT is enabled, and a Web Filter profile is also applied. Like FGT-B, it logs only violations for web filtering.
Logging Behavior:
Since both FortiGate devices have logging enabled for traffic and web filtering, they can create logs if conditions are met.
FGT-B will log all traffic, as per its configuration, and will also create web filter logs if it detects a violation, as the web filter profile is applied. Because NAT is disabled on FGT-B, it processes the traffic but doesn't perform any address translation, allowing it to see the original source IP of Client-1. FGT-A, as the Security Fabric root, will handle NAT and forward the traffic to the internet. However, in this case, the question is focused on where the traffic and web filter logs would be generated first, particularly by FGT-B.
