Outcomes When FortiGate Enters Conserve Mode
Outcome Description
✅ FortiGate drops new sessions requiring inspection To preserve resources, FortiGate may stop accepting new sessions that require deep inspection, such as antivirus or IPS.
✅ FortiGate skips quarantine actions Quarantine actions are resource-intensive, so FortiGate may bypass them to conserve memory.

    Dear Mohammed, B & D Correct as per the study guide page 552: "FortiGate does not accept configuration changes, because they might increase memory usage." "Enable the setting so that packets can still be transmitted while in conserve mode ... but are not inspected by IPS."

What actions does FortiGate take to preserve memory while in conserve mode?
• FortiGate does not accept configuration changes, because they might increase memory usage.
• FortiGate does not run any quarantine action, including forwarding suspicious files to FortiSandbox.

behaves when the IPS socket buffer is full.
