QuestionQ17

Which statement about protocol states is true?

  • A proto_state=00 indicates that UDP traffic flows in both directions.
  • B proto_state=01 indicates an established TCP session.
  • C proto_state=10 indicates an established TCP session.
  • D proto_state=01 indicates one-way ICMP traffic.
Explanation

For FortiGate TCP sessions, proto_state records the protocol state by direction, and the value 1 denotes ESTABLISHED. Fortinet documents proto_state=01 as an established TCP session. ICMP always has proto_state=00, while UDP uses 01 when a reply has been seen.
