Exam NSE4_FGT_AD-7.6 Topic 1 Question 46 Discussion

"If you create a firewall address object with the type Subnet or FQDN, you can use that firewall address as the destination of one or more static routes. First, enable Routing configuration in the firewall address configuration. After you enable it, the firewall address object becomes available for use in the Destination drop-down list for static routes with named addresses. " Technical Deep Dive:
The correct answer is D . The exhibit shows an FQDN address object (www.fortinet.com), but Routing configuration is disabled. FortiGate does not make that object available as a selectable destination for named static routes until this option is enabled.
Why the others are wrong:
* A is incomplete. Even if the static route uses Named Address , the object still will not appear unless Routing configuration is enabled on the address object.
* B is not the first requirement from the study guide. DNS resolution matters operationally for FQDN objects, but the documented reason it does not appear in the drop-down is the missing Routing configuration setting.
* C is unrelated. The interface does not have to be set to port2 first just to make the address object selectable.
In practice, the fix is:
config firewall address
edit " Fortinet "
set type fqdn
set fqdn " www.fortinet.com "
set allow-routing enable
next
end
After that, the object becomes available in the static route Destination field when using a named address.
