Question#1

Which three factors about SLA targets and SD-WAN rules should you consider when configuring SD-WAN rules? (Choose three.)
A. Member metrics are measured only if a rule uses the SLA target.
B. SLA targets are used only by SD-WAN rules that are configured with a Lowest Cost (SLA) strategy.
C. SD-WAN rules can use SLA targets to check whether the preferred members meet the SLA requirements.
D. When configuring an SD-WAN rule, you can select multiple SLA targets if they are from the same performance SLA.
E. When configuring an SD-WAN rule, you can select multiple SLA targets from different performance SLAs.

A. B, C, D

Explanation:
The use of SLA targets is specific to certain SD-WAN strategies. The "Lowest Cost (SLA)" and "Maximize Bandwidth (SLA)" strategies are explicitly designed to use the configured SLA targets to make routing decisions. The "Best Quality" strategy uses performance metrics but does not necessarily require or reference SLA targets in the same way, while "Manual" does not use metrics at all for path selection.
This is a core function of SD-WAN rules with SLA targets. The purpose of configuring an SLA target with specific thresholds for latency, jitter, and packet loss is to define what is considered "acceptable" performance for an application. SD-WAN rules then use these targets to check if the members (interfaces) meet these requirements before a flow is steered over them, ensuring that a preferred path still offers a good user experience.
FortiGate allows for a single SD-WAN rule to reference multiple, different performance SLAs. This is crucial for complex deployments where a single SD-WAN rule needs to handle traffic for multiple applications that have distinct performance requirements. For example, a single rule might direct VoIP traffic based on one performance SLA with strict latency/jitter targets, while simultaneously handling general web traffic using another performance SLA with more lenient requirements.

Question#2

You want FortiGate to use SD-WAN rules to steer ping local-out traffic.
Which two constraints should you consider? Choose two answers.

A. You can steer local-out traffic only with SD-WAN rules that use the manual strategy.
B. By default, FortiGate uses SD-WAN rules only for local-out traffic that corresponds to ping and traceroute.
C. By default, local-out traffic does not use SD-WA
D. You must configure each local-out feature individually to use SD-WA

Explanation:
In FortiOS 7.6, local-out traffic is traffic generated by the FortiGate itself, such as ping, traceroute, FortiGuard updates, DNS, NTP, and SNMP. Local-out traffic does not traverse the firewall policy engine and therefore behaves differently from forwarded traffic in SD-WAN.
According to the FCSS SD-WAN 7.6 curriculum and Fortinet SD-WAN architecture documentation, local-out traffic does not use SD-WAN by default. Instead, it follows the routing table (static and dynamic routes). To allow local-out traffic to be evaluated by SD-WAN rules, the administrator must explicitly enable local-out SD-WAN processing.
The curriculum also states that only SD-WAN rules using the manual strategy are supported for local-out traffic. SLA-based, application-based, and dynamic strategies are not evaluated for traffic generated by the FortiGate itself. This is a fundamental architectural limitation of SD-WAN in FortiOS 7.6.
Option B is incorrect because FortiGate does not automatically apply SD-WAN rules to ping or traceroute traffic by default. Even these tools follow the routing table unless local-out SD-WAN is enabled.
Option D is incorrect because local-out SD-WAN configuration is global. Individual local-out features do not require separate SD-WAN enablement.

Question#3

Refer to the exhibit.



The exhibit shows the BGP configuration on the hub in a hub-and-spoke topology. The administrator
wants BGP to advertise prefixes from spokes to other spokes over the IPsec overlays, including additional paths. However, when looking at the spoke routing table, the administrator does not see the prefixes from other spokes and the additional paths
Which three settings must the administrator configure inside each BGP neighbor group so spokes can learn the prefixes of other spokes and their additional paths? (Choose three.)

A. Set additional-path to send
B. Set additional-path to forward
C. Enable route-reflector-server
D. Enable route-reflector-client.
E. Set adv-additional-path to the number of additional paths to advertise.

Explanation:
The hub must send additional paths to spokes (set additional-path send).
The hub must treat each spoke as a route-reflector client so spoke routes are reflected to other spokes.
The hub must specify how many additional paths to advertise (set adv-additional-path <n>).

Question#4

As an MSSP administrator, you are asked to configure ADVPN on an existing SD-WAN topology. FortiManager manages the customer devices in a dedicated ADOM. The previous administrator used the SD-WAN overlay topology.
Which two statements apply to this scenario? (Choose two.)

A. You can activate auto-discovery VPN in the SD-WAN overlay template only if it is a single hub topology.
B. When auto-discovery VPN is enabled, FortiManager updates the IPsec and BGP templates in the hub.
C. After you enable auto-discovery VPN in the overlay template, you must select between ADVPN 2.0 and ADVPN 1.0.
D. You can activate auto-discovery VPN in the SD-WAN overlay template for any type of topology, including a primary-primary dual-hub topology.

Explanation:
When you enable ADVPN (auto-discovery VPN) in the overlay template, FortiManager automatically updates both the IPsec and BGP templates on the hub so that shortcut tunnels can be established dynamically.
ADVPN can be activated in the SD-WAN overlay template for any supported topology, including dual-hub primaryCprimary, not just single hub.

Question#5

What is the purpose of configuring SD-WAN path control?

A. To configure routing protocols
B. To configure security policies
C. To configure application performance monitoring
D. To ensure traffic takes the most optimal path
