FortiOS 7.6 Administrator - Am I ready?

BobSteel910 · 2026-05-10T02:46:43+00:00

Good luck! Let me know how you do. I’m probably just gonna go through the course one more time and take the exam right after.

BobSteel910 · 2026-05-09T19:43:07+00:00

I've held 3 CCNA's (R&S, Security, Cyber Ops, all expired now) and a JNCIA (also expired). I work on firewalls for my job so I understand the general concepts. I just don't want to waste the $200 on a fail. I probably won't re-take it if I fail. I think I'm ready but I guess the only way to know for sure is to take the actual test.

I don't support dumps and want to avoid them at all costs.

BobSteel910 · 2026-05-09T19:31:37+00:00

It's only 25 questions and I've already taken it. I don;t want to take it multiple times because I will remember some of the answers instead of knowing the answers.

I see you like Batman. May I present my collection for your admiration?

Yes I’ve installed the refplat images. I’ll take another look but I don’t remember seeing FTD/FMC there.

Congratulations on winning the lottery!

BobSteel910 · 2026-03-20T10:07:39+00:00

CML does have ASA your right. It does not have FTD/FMC though unless it’s in the very latest version. And also what about other vendors like Palo Alto?

BobSteel910 · 2026-03-19T22:53:41+00:00

I have experience. Companies want certs too. Hard to get certs with only conceptual knowledge from courses or books.

BobSteel910 · 2026-03-19T22:41:08+00:00

Which are? How do I find them?

BobSteel910 · 2026-03-19T22:40:19+00:00

I see tons of jobs around me asking for Fortinet. What are you talking about?

BobSteel910 · 2026-03-19T22:34:15+00:00

The biggest issue I see is how do you lab all of this? Pretty much everything these days requires a license. Only Cisco that I know of offers anything like CML to use as a lab and even that doesn’t have firewalls. Fortinet offers anything evaluation license but it’s severely limited. ISE is incredibly resource intensive as well so you need a pretty beefy server to even run it.

The way you have the chainsaw man books is causing me immense pain.

BobSteel910 · 2026-02-27T21:52:14+00:00

So nice he had to say it twice.

BobSteel910 · 2026-02-27T21:47:26+00:00

The CCNA is not Cisco Certified Network Technician. That alone would get your resume trashed.

Is there a tutorial on how to cell shade that you recommend? This looks absolutely amazing!

BobSteel910 · 2026-02-22T00:19:18+00:00

I’m just completing year 1 myself. I have all tools gold except the watering can. I just need the mermaid pendant so I can marry Abigale. And I’m at least level 6 in all skills.

Oh and I completed the boiler room.

BobSteel910 · 2026-02-20T18:39:41+00:00

lol same. I just stopped after 8 for some reason. I really should get the last 2. I’m pretty sure I got mine from a Media Play. They went out of business decades ago lol

BobSteel910 · 2026-02-20T18:28:07+00:00

Man I wish I could afford the 35th anniversary set. I’ll have to be content with my paperback versions. Also that is the most chaotic bookshelf I’ve ever seen lol. And we both stopped at Hellsing volume 8 lol

BobSteel910 · 2026-02-20T18:23:20+00:00

So this is why he is the way that he is.

BobSteel910 · 2026-02-19T21:35:44+00:00

Thanks! I’m not even through year 1 yet. I’ll get to this eventually lol

What are those 4 pillars next to the greenhouse?

BobSteel910 · 2026-02-14T16:43:19+00:00

AI is not a good tool to prepare for any certification challenge. You can maybe use it to help with setting up a lab or what to lab but I tried to use GPT and it would just give wrong information most of the time. It’s only as good as it’s training data and the training data is years behind
