Reference / correct answer:

FortiGate steers traffic for social media applications according to the service rule 2 and steers traffic through port2.

Most accepted answer: A. FortiGate steers traffic for social media applications according to the service rule 2 and steers traffic through port2.

Community votes: A=4, B=3, D=1

Selected Answer: AB A: service 2 has social media which includes facebook B:Round robing mode for load-balance and all members meet SLA therefore it will be load-balanced Traffic can be load balanced on lowest cost or manual SLA upvoted 1 times

Selected Answer: AB The answer is AB. If it recognizes the traffic as going to Facebook, it will use the rule with service ID 2, and be routed through port 2 per the rule. If it does not recognize the application traffic, it will hit the catch-all rule with service ID rule 3. This uses Lowest Cost SLA and load-balancing for round-robin - all members are alive and meet SLA. Therefore, per page 250 of the SD-WAN 7.4 Architect notes, priority, cost or configuration order will not be considered, and traffic will be load-balanced in circular fashion. upvoted 3 times

Selected Answer: AB A/B are correct because the round-robin mode use all active link upvoted 3 times one_1996 10 months, 1 week ago But the tie-break is set to cfg, so the member with the lowest cfg_order wins, which is HQ_T1. Therefore, the correct answer is D. upvoted 2 times jajajaf342 10 months ago You are mistaken - please update or edit your comment. The answer is AB. Per page 250 of the SD-WAN 7.4 Architect notes: "Note that FortiGate doesn't consider the member cost, priority, and configuration order. With the manual strategy FortiGate considers all members that are alive. With the lowest cost (SLA) strategy, FortiGate considers only the number of SLA targets the member meets." In our case, we use Lowest Cost (SLA) with round-robin - therefore no tie-breakers are considered (in your case, you reference the 'cfg' order, but this doesn't matter in the load-balanced scenario). Only members that meet SLA are considered, and traffic is round-robin'ed through each alive member (all 3). Consider that you MUST set some sort of configuration priority order for members on any SD-WAN rule - if what you were saying were true, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to configure load-balancing in Manual mode, since there will always be a "tie" for all alive members, and consequently all traffic would be routed through the highest configuration priority member (therefore rendering load-balancing impossible). upvoted 1 times ... ...

Question 3 (Topic 1)

Refer to the exhibits. You use FortiManager to manage the branch devices and configure the SD-WAN template. You have configured direct internet access (DIA) for the IT department users. Now, you must configure secure internet access (SIA) for all local LAN users and have set the firewall policies as shown in the second exhibit. Then, when you use the install wizard to install the configuration and the policy package on the branch devices, FortiManager reports an error as shown in the third exhibit. Which statement describes why FortiManager could not install the configuration on the branches?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

○ You must direct SIA traffic to a VPN tunnel.
○ You cannot install SIA and DIA rules on the same device.
○ You cannot install firewall policies that reference an SD-WAN member.
○ You cannot install firewall policies that reference an SD-WAN zone.

Reference / correct answer:

You cannot install firewall policies that reference an SD-WAN member.

Most accepted answer: C. You cannot install firewall policies that reference an SD-WAN member.

Community votes: A=1, C=2

C is correct. You cannot reference an SD-WAN member in a firewall policy. upvoted 5 times

Selected Answer: C The error is because PORT1 is associated with an SD-WAN zone, and is also associated with an access policy. upvoted 5 times

Selected Answer: C PG25 you cannot reference members in a firewall policy only the Zone therefore option D is incorrect. Since there is only one right answer and we know this we can assume A and B are incorrect. upvoted 1 times

Selected Answer: A SIA traffic (traffic meant to go through Fortinet’s Secure Internet Access cloud) must always be sent through a VPN tunnel to the SIA service. SIA cannot be reached directly via a normal Internet interface; the traffic is encapsulated in an IPsec tunnel from the FortiGate to the SIA cloud. upvoted 1 times altres 10 months, 1 week ago In theory you are correct. But this wouldn't prevent the installation. It is more likely, that port1 is referenced as an SD-WAN Member. You cannot use SD WAN Member directly in a Firewallpolicy. Answer should be C upvoted 3 times ...

Question 4 (Topic 1)

You have configured the performance SLA with the probe mode as Prefer Passive. What are two observable impacts of this configuration? (Choose two.)

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

○ FortiGate passively monitors the member if TCP traffic is passing through the member.
○ After FortiGate switches to active mode, the SLA performance rule falls back to passive monitoring after 3 minutes.
○ FortiGate passively monitors the member if ICMP traffic is passing through the member.
○ During passive monitoring, the SLA performance rule cannot detect dead members.
○ FortiGate can offload the traffic that is subject to passive monitoring to hardware.

Reference / correct answer:

FortiGate passively monitors the member if TCP traffic is passing through the member.

Most accepted answer: A. FortiGate passively monitors the member if TCP traffic is passing through the member.

Community votes: A=3, D=3

Selected Answer: AD AD are correct. From Page 138 of SD-WAN 7.4 Architect: A - "In prefer passive monitoring, FortiGate uses passive monitoring if there is TCP traffic through the member..." D - "Note that changes in member state are detected only when FortiGate is doing active monitoring..." B is incorrect - there is a 3-minute timer to trigger active mode if TCP traffic is not observed, but if in active mode, it falls back to passive mode immediately once recognizing that traffic is passing through the member. C - FortiGate does not use ICMP for passive monitoring E - FortiGate CANNOT offload traffic that is associated with a member in passive monitoring mode - auto-asic-offload must be disabled on associated firewall policies. upvoted 4 times

Selected Answer: AD The correct answers are: A. FortiGate passively monitors the member if TCP traffic is passing through the member. D. During passive monitoring, the SLA performance rule cannot detect dead members. 🔹 Why A is correct In Prefer Passive mode, FortiGate doesn’t send active probes (ICMP, UDP, HTTP) unless needed. Instead, it extracts performance metrics from live traffic. Supported protocols for passive monitoring are TCP/UDP sessions (e.g., measuring latency/jitter from sequence numbers and acknowledgments). 🔹 Why D is correct Passive mode can only measure if user traffic exists. If no user traffic passes through that link, FortiGate cannot tell whether the link is dead or just idle. Therefore, SLA cannot detect member “dead” status in passive mode — only active probing can. ❌ Why the others are wrong B: No fixed “3-minute fallback” — fallback depends on SLA thresholds and lack of traffic, not a timer. C: Passive monitoring does not use ICMP pings; ICMP-based checks require active probes. E: Hardware offload has nothing to do with passive SLA monitoring. upvoted 2 times

Selected Answer: AD I think AD are correct upvoted 2 times

Question 5 (Topic 1)

Refer to the exhibit. Which two conclusions can you draw from the output shown? (Choose two.)

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

○ One SD-WAN rule is defined with application categories as the destination.
○ UDP traffic destined to the subnet 10.22.0.0/24 matches a manual SD-WAN rule.
○ One SD-WAN rule allows traffic load balancing.
○ UDP traffic destined to the subnet 10.22.0.0/24 matches a policy route.

Question 6 (Topic 1)

You used the HUB IPsec_Recommended and the BRANCH IPsec_Recommended templates to define the overlay topology. Then, you used the SD-WAN template to define the SD- WAN members, rules, and performance SLAs. You applied the changes to the devices and want to use the FortiManager monitors menu to get a graphical view that shows the status of each SD-WAN member. Which statement best explains how to obtain this graphical view?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

○ Use the SD-WAN monitor template view to get a map view of the branches, hub, and tunnel status, including the SLA pass or missed status.
○ Use the SD-WAN monitor table view to get a donut view and a table view that shows the status of each SD-WAN member, including the SLA pass or missed status.
○ Use the VPN monitor map view to get a map view of the branches, hub, and tunnel status, including the SLA pass or missed status.
○ Use the SD-WAN monitor asset view to get a donut view and a table view that shows the status of each device and the SLA status of each SD-WAN member.

Question 7 (Topic 1)

Which three factors about SLA targets and SD-WAN rules should you consider when configuring SD-WAN rules? (Choose three.)

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

○ Member metrics are measured only if a rule uses the SLA target.
○ SLA targets are used only by SD-WAN rules that are configured with a Lowest Cost (SLA) strategy.
○ SD-WAN rules can use SLA targets to check whether the preferred members meet the SLA requirements.
○ When configuring an SD-WAN rule, you can select multiple SLA targets if they are from the same performance SLA.
○ When configuring an SD-WAN rule, you can select multiple SLA targets from different performance SLAs.

Reference / correct answer:

SD-WAN rules can use SLA targets to check whether the preferred members meet the SLA requirements.

Most accepted answer: C. SD-WAN rules can use SLA targets to check whether the preferred members meet the SLA requirements.

Community votes: A=1, B=3, C=4, D=3, E=1

Selected Answer: BCD Why A and E are wrong A. Incorrect. Health checks (config health-check) measure metrics (latency, jitter, etc.) on members continuously, regardless of rule usage — rules only reference those measurements (pages 38–45, health check independence). E. Incorrect. A rule binds to one health check; you cannot mix targets from different health checks in a single rule's config sla (pages 225–227; multiple targets must share the same health check). upvoted 1 times

Selected Answer: BCD B C D are the correct answers upvoted 1 times

Selected Answer: BCE PG 140 E: You can configure performance SLA with different performance requirements. B: SLA targets are required for rules that use lowest cost as a strategy C: patently true. upvoted 1 times

Selected Answer: ACD ACD is the answer upvoted 2 times yasmiine 8 months, 2 weeks ago I think B is correct: B. SLA targets are used only by SD-WAN rules that are configured with a Lowest Cost (SLA) strategy. Because "Best quality" strategy does not use SLA targets, it just compare the value of metric (latency or jitter or...) mesured between the members and select the best one. So, there is no use of "targets". So, Only Lowest Cost (SLA) strategy uses SLA targets . someone agree or not, to enlighten me, perhaps i'm wrong ! upvoted 2 times ...
