Exam NSE7_EFW-7.2 topic 1 question 38 discussion

A. It can be configured as an update server, a rating server, or both True. When FortiManager is deployed as a local FortiGuard Distribution Server (FDS), it can act as: An update server for distributing antivirus signatures, IPS definitions, and other updates. A rating server for handling web filtering rating requests. Both roles can be configured depending on requirements. B. It provides VM license validation services True. FortiManager can validate Fortinet VM licenses when acting as a local FDS, ensuring proper functioning of licensed Fortinet devices. C. It supports rating requests from non-FortiGate devices False. FortiManager as a local FDS only supports rating requests from managed Fortinet devices (e.g., FortiGate, FortiClient, etc.). D. It caches available firmware updates for unmanaged devices False. Firmware updates are cached only for devices that are managed by the FortiManager. Unmanaged devices cannot retrieve updates from it.

A and D are correct. B and C just don't make sense at all..
