Exam NSE7_EFW-7.2 Topic 1 Question 41 Discussion

Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE7_EFW-7.2 exam
Question #: 41
Topic #: 1
After enabling IPS you receive feedback about traffic being dropped.
What could be the reason?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

Fail-open is a feature that allows traffic to pass through the IPS sensor without inspection when the sensor fails or is overloaded. If fail-open is set to disable, traffic will be dropped in such scenarios1. References:
= IPS | FortiGate / FortiOS 7.2.3 - Fortinet Documentation
When IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) is configured, iffail-openis set to disable, it means that if the IPS engine fails, traffic will not be allowed to pass through, which can result in traffic being dropped (D). This is in contrast to a fail-open setting, which would allow traffic to bypass the IPS engine if it is not operational.
