What can be two possible outcomes if a FortiGate device has entered conserve mode?

When a FortiGate device enters conserve mode, one of the primary outcomes is that administrators cannot change the configuration. This restriction is put in place to protect the device's current state and operating parameters when it is under resource constraints, ensuring that no changes can exacerbate existing issues or lead to further instability.

In conserve mode, the device prioritizes maintaining operational integrity, which includes restricting configuration changes that could disrupt its ability to function effectively. This allows the system to focus on maintaining existing connections and performance, rather than risking additional modifications that could lead to further resource depletion.

The other options, while related to different operational contexts, do not accurately represent the outcomes of conserve mode. For instance, entering high availability or automatically adding new routes does not typically relate to conserve mode, as the device prioritizes stability over configuration changes or redundancy strategies. Additionally, while dropping all active connections is a serious consequence, it is not a definitive action associated with conserve mode, which primarily focuses on safeguarding the current configuration rather than terminating connections.
