Which two configuration settings are global settings? (Choose two.)

In a FortiGate device with Virtual Domains (VDOMs) enabled, configuration settings are separated into two categories: global and per-VDOM. Global settings apply to the entire FortiGate unit, affecting its overall operation. High Availability (HA) is a system-level feature that concerns the physical clustering of the device, and therefore, its configuration is managed globally. Similarly, FortiGuard settings, which include licensing, update schedules, and service connections, are configured at the global level to serve all VDOMs on the device.

A. User & Device settings: These are configured on a per-VDOM basis to allow for separate user databases and device management for each virtual domain.
B. Firewall policies: These are the primary security rules for traffic and are configured independently within each VDOM to enforce distinct security policies.
