   A company is deploying FortiMail in transparent mode to protect their mail server. They have a requirement to keep the mail server's IP address unchanged and to avoid any changes to the network topology. However, they also need to ensure that FortiMail can be managed from a remote network. Which deployment approach best meets these requirements?

   • AConfigure FortiMail in transparent mode with a management IP on a separate VLAN and use a static route on the upstream router to reach that VLAN.
   • BUse a NAT policy on FortiMail to translate the management IP to the mail server's IP.
   • CEnable the management interface on the same bridge interface as the mail traffic.
   • DConfigure FortiMail in routed mode and change the mail server's IP address to a new subnet.
