Exam Overview
The Fortinet NSE 6 – FortiVoice Administrator (NSE6_FVE-6.0) is a specialist-level certification exam that validates a candidate's ability to deploy, configure, and manage Fortinet's FortiVoice unified communications platform running version 6.0. The exam assesses practical competency across the full FortiVoice administrative lifecycle, including VoIP system setup, dial plan construction, call routing logic, and day-to-day system management tasks specific to the FortiVoice appliance.
This certification sits within Fortinet's NSE 6 – Network Security Specialist track, which recognizes professionals who have expanded their expertise beyond core firewall administration into Fortinet's broader Secure Fabric product portfolio. Candidates are tested on their ability to integrate FortiVoice within an existing Fortinet security infrastructure, troubleshoot voice environment issues, and maintain system integrity under real-world enterprise conditions. The exam was available until September 30, 2023, and is based on the FortiVoice 6.0 product release.
Who Should Take This Exam
This certification is designed for network and security professionals who are responsible for administering or supporting enterprise voice communications solutions built on Fortinet's FortiVoice platform. Typical candidates include unified communications administrators, network engineers, and VoIP specialists who work in environments where FortiVoice is deployed alongside other Fortinet security products.
Candidates are expected to have hands-on experience with FortiVoice 6.0 and a working knowledge of VoIP protocols and enterprise telephony concepts. This exam is suited for professionals aiming to formalize their FortiVoice expertise as part of earning the NSE 6 – Network Security Specialist designation, which requires passing a minimum of four NSE 6 exams.
Prerequisites
Fortinet does not enforce formal prerequisites for the NSE6_FVE-6.0 exam, but candidates are strongly advised to have at least two years of experience working with network security technologies and practical familiarity with the FortiVoice 6.0 platform. Prior experience with Fortinet products in general—particularly FortiGate and FortiOS—is beneficial for understanding how FortiVoice integrates into the broader Fortinet Secure Fabric.
A solid grounding in VoIP fundamentals, SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), dial plan design, and general IP telephony administration is essential. Candidates who have completed Fortinet's official FortiVoice Administrator training course will be well-positioned, as the exam content aligns closely with that curriculum.
Exam Format
The NSE6_FVE-6.0 exam consists of 30 scored questions and has a total time limit of 60 minutes. Questions are presented in multiple-choice and multiple-response formats. The exam is delivered in English and is available through Pearson VUE, either online with remote proctoring or at an authorized Pearson VUE test center.
Fortinet's NSE 6 exams use a strict scoring method: answers must be 100% correct to receive credit, and no partial credit is awarded for partially correct multiple-response answers. The passing score is 70%. Candidates who do not pass must wait a minimum of 15 days before reattempting the exam. The exam is based on FortiVoice version 6.0.

Study Tips
- Complete Fortinet's official FortiVoice Administrator training course available through the Fortinet Training Institute (training.fortinet.com), as exam questions are closely aligned with the course content and lab exercises.
- Build hands-on experience in a lab environment using a FortiVoice 6.0 VM or physical appliance—configure dial plans, set up SIP trunks, and simulate call routing scenarios to reinforce theoretical knowledge.
- Download and study the FortiVoice 6.0 Administration Guide from the Fortinet Document Library (docs.fortinet.com), paying particular attention to chapters on dial plans, call routing, and system configuration.
- Because NSE 6 exams award no partial credit, practice with multiple-response question formats and ensure you can identify ALL correct answers—not just one—before submitting any response.
- Focus study time on FortiVoice's integration points with FortiGate, including how security policies are applied to voice traffic and how FortiVoice fits within the Fortinet Secure Fabric architecture.
- Review Fortinet's NSE 6 exam page regularly for any updates to exam availability, as the NSE6_FVE-6.0 had a published retirement date, and a successor version may introduce updated objectives.
- Practice using the FortiVoice diagnostic and troubleshooting tools (call traces, log viewer, debug commands) as the exam tests practical ability to identify and resolve configuration and connectivity issues.

Sample Questions
5 sample questions with answers and explanations. The full bank has 597 questions, enough for 9 full-length practice exams.
Preview — answers shown1. A Northwind administrator has configured three outbound dial plan rules in this order: Rule 1 matches the pattern 9. (digit 9 followed by any additional digits), Rule 2 matches 91XXXXXXXXXX (10-digit long-distance with access code), and Rule 3 matches 9011. (international with access code). Users report that all outbound calls route through Rule 1 regardless of length or destination type. Which TWO actions should the administrator take to resolve this issue? (Select two!)
Multiple correct answersADelete Rule 1 entirely because the dot wildcard notation is not valid syntax for access code stripping in FortiVoice dial plans
BMove Rule 2 (the 91XXXXXXXXXX long-distance pattern) above Rule 1 so the more specific pattern is evaluated first
CEnable strict digit matching on Rule 1 to prevent it from matching long-distance or international dial strings
DMove Rule 1 to the bottom of the dial plan list so it functions as a catch-all only when no specific rule has matched
EAdd a failover trunk entry on Rule 1 so unmatched call types automatically re-evaluate against Rule 2 and Rule 3
Explanation
FortiVoice evaluates outbound dial plan rules sequentially from top to bottom, and the first matching rule wins — no further rules are evaluated. Rule 1 uses the pattern 9. which matches the digit 9 followed by one or more wildcard characters, making it match ALL dialed numbers that start with 9, including long-distance and international calls. This prevents Rules 2 and 3 from ever being evaluated. The correct fix requires two coordinated changes: moving the more specific rules (Rule 2 for long-distance, Rule 3 for international) above Rule 1 so they are evaluated first, and repositioning Rule 1 to the bottom of the list where it acts as a catch-all for any 9-prefixed number that did not match a more specific rule. Deleting Rule 1 would remove the fallback catch-all routing entirely. Strict digit matching is not a FortiVoice dial plan configuration option. Failover trunks provide backup trunk routing for a given rule and do not trigger re-evaluation of other dial plan rules.
2. A user at Contoso Ltd wants to activate and deactivate Do Not Disturb from their FortiFone desk phone by dialing feature codes directly. An administrator needs to document the correct codes for both actions. Which TWO codes should be documented? (Select two!)
Multiple correct answersA*71 — activates call forwarding and prompts for a destination number
B*72 — activates Do Not Disturb
C*78 — activates Do Not Disturb, routing incoming calls to voicemail or busy treatment
D*79 — deactivates Do Not Disturb and restores normal call ringing
E*710 — deactivates call forwarding
Explanation
In FortiVoice 7.0, *78 is the vertical service code to enable Do Not Disturb. When DND is active, incoming calls receive busy treatment or are routed directly to voicemail without ringing the phone. *79 is the corresponding code to disable Do Not Disturb and restore normal call handling behavior. *71 is the code to enable call forwarding and enter a destination number — this is a different feature from DND. *72 is not a valid default feature access code in FortiVoice 7.0; call forwarding activation is handled by *71, not *72. *710 is the code to deactivate call forwarding, which is unrelated to Do Not Disturb.
3. An administrator reviewing CLI SIP debug output for a newly provisioned FortiFone desk phone observes this exchange: the phone sends a REGISTER message, FortiVoice responds with 401 Unauthorized, the phone sends a second REGISTER with an Authorization header, and FortiVoice responds with 200 OK. What does this exchange indicate? (Select one!)
AThe phone's SIP credentials are incorrect and the registration will fail permanently after this cycle
BFortiVoice has flagged the phone's IP address as a security threat and issued a temporary block
CThis is normal SIP digest authentication — the 401 response is a server challenge, not an error, and the phone completed authentication successfully
DThe phone must be manually approved in the FortiVoice extension trust list before registration can complete
Explanation
SIP digest authentication as defined in RFC 3261 is a two-step challenge-response mechanism. The initial REGISTER message may not include credentials. FortiVoice responds with 401 Unauthorized containing a nonce value (a one-time cryptographic challenge). The phone then computes an MD5 hash of the username, password, realm, nonce, and other values, and sends a second REGISTER with the resulting digest in the Authorization header. FortiVoice validates the response and, if correct, returns 200 OK with registration confirmation. This is the expected, healthy authentication flow. A true credential failure would produce a second 401 response to the authenticated REGISTER, creating a 401 loop with no successful registration. FortiVoice does not require manual extension approval for standard SIP registration.
4. A Litware employee is leaving for a three-week vacation and wants callers to hear a personalized out-of-office message regardless of whether their extension is unanswered or actively busy with a forwarded call. The employee wants this message to take priority over all other voicemail greetings for the entire vacation period. Which voicemail greeting type should the employee activate? (Select one!)
AUnavailable greeting, which plays when the extension rings without being answered
BBusy greeting, which plays when the extension is occupied on another call
CName Recording, which plays the employee's recorded name for auto-attendant directory lookups
DTemporary greeting, which overrides both the Unavailable and Busy greetings when it is activated
Explanation
The Temporary greeting is designed precisely for this use case. When activated, the Temporary greeting overrides both the Unavailable greeting (played when the extension rings and is not answered within the ring timeout) and the Busy greeting (played when the extension is already on a call). This ensures callers hear the vacation message in every call scenario during the employee's absence. Upon return, the employee deactivates the Temporary greeting, which automatically restores the normal Unavailable and Busy greetings without requiring any reconfiguration. Activating only the Unavailable greeting would cover the no-answer scenario but not the busy scenario. Activating only the Busy greeting covers the busy scenario but not the unanswered scenario. The Name Recording greeting is used exclusively by the auto-attendant dial-by-name directory feature and is not played to callers reaching voicemail.
5. A Contoso customer service department handles approximately 90 inbound calls per hour during peak periods. The operations manager requires real-time supervisor visibility into agent availability, queue position announcements for callers waiting in queue, configurable wrap-up time between calls so agents can complete call notes, and monthly historical reports on queue service levels. Which FortiVoice feature should the administrator configure? (Select one!)
ARing Group with Round Robin distribution strategy
BRing Group with Weighted distribution and voicemail overflow
CACD Call Queue with agent login and logout, supervisor dashboard, and wrap-up time
DRing Group with Least Recent strategy and automated call-back announcement
Explanation
ACD Call Queues provide all the capabilities required for a high-volume call center environment. ACD queues support dynamic agent login and logout so agents can be removed from the queue during breaks, configurable wrap-up time that holds the agent unavailable after each call for note-taking, real-time queue position announcements informing callers of their position in queue, a supervisor dashboard with live agent state monitoring, and detailed queue statistics for historical reporting and service level analysis. Ring groups, regardless of which distribution strategy is selected, do not support agent login and logout, configurable wrap-up time, queue position announcements, or the supervisor monitoring dashboard. Ring groups are appropriate for small teams requiring simple call distribution without the operational management demands of a call center environment.
