Hey everyone, I’m currently on my journey to prepare for the NSE4_FGT-7.2 exam and have been exploring multiple study resources, including Fortinet documentation, hands-on labs, and community discussions. Midway through my prep, I started using Certs Matrix, which has been really helpful in practicing scenario-based questions and understanding real-world Fortinet network configurations more deeply. Here’s a scenario I’m trying to clarify Suppose you need to configure multiple VPNs in a FortiGate deployment for different branch offices while ensuring traffic segregation, high availability, and minimal latency. Would the most effective approach be to use policy-based VPNs, route-based VPNs, or a combination of both? I’d greatly appreciate insights from anyone who has taken the exam or managed similar Fortinet environments. Your advice will help me validate my approach and continue preparing confidently.

    hi,

    policy based IPsec is hardly used, at least in my experience if we are ref. of how it should be set, https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Enable-Policy-Based-IPsec-VPN-configuration/ta-p/190244 . i think i've done only once a few years back w/ a Meraki device, but usually it's done route-based w/ dynamic routing or w/o, just via static routes and firewall policies in each case, each method w/ its own perks. it really depends on you environment and what you are trying to achieve.
