Question 660
An administrator will use Device serial number mismatch in inventory to identify a replacement FortiGate that reconnects with a new serial and is not the old registered asset. Before sign-off, which setup step must be completed for that approach?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The specific preparation for Device serial number mismatch in inventory is to compare actual appliance serial to stored inventory and authorize the replacement appropriately. This addresses the stated need to identify a replacement FortiGate that reconnects with a new serial and is not the old registered asset, and later acceptance is demonstrated when approved replacement serial is reflected in the correct managed device entry.
Incorrect Answers
That step belongs to Pending FortiGate registration authorization, used to recover a supported device whose management request is pending approval. It is not the mechanism-specific setup for Device serial number mismatch in inventory required to identify a replacement FortiGate that reconnects with a new serial and is not the old registered asset.
That step belongs to Discovery reachability without policy import, used to explain a managed device shown as reachable while its central firewall policy database is still empty. It is not the mechanism-specific setup for Device serial number mismatch in inventory required to identify a replacement FortiGate that reconnects with a new serial and is not the old registered asset.
That step belongs to Unsupported firmware versus ADOM version, used to troubleshoot a registration or import failure caused by a mismatched FortiOS version and ADOM support. It is not the mechanism-specific setup for Device serial number mismatch in inventory required to identify a replacement FortiGate that reconnects with a new serial and is not the old registered asset.
