NEW QUESTION # 32
(When you deploy SD-WAN, you can choose from several common designs. Each design best applies to specific contexts.
Which two statements correctly associate a common SD-WAN design with its main indication or constraint? Choose two answers.)
- A. Use a direct internet access (DIA) design to increase the traffic security and allow local devices with limited capabilities.
- B. Use a standalone design for sites with only one WAN link to the cloud.
- C. Use remote breakout to centralize traffic inspection and limit local management requirements.
- D. Use a cloud on-ramp topology to improve the performance of cloud applications.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
The FCSS SD-WAN 7.6 curriculum describes multiple standard SD-WAN deployment designs, each mapped to a specific operational goal or constraint.
A cloud on-ramp topology is designed to optimize connectivity to cloud services such as SaaS and IaaS. This design provides the most efficient and reliable path to cloud applications by establishing direct tunnels to cloud gateways or cloud workloads and by avoiding backhauling traffic through a central data center. As a result, its primary indication is improving the performance of cloud applications, which makes option A correct.
A remote breakout (centralized breakout) design forwards all internet-bound traffic from branch sites to a central hub for security inspection. This allows security policies, inspection, and logging to be centralized on a high-capacity FortiGate at the hub. Because branch devices do not need advanced local security configurations, this design also limits local management requirements, which makes option C correct.
Option B is incorrect because a standalone SD-WAN design is not selected simply because a site has only one WAN link. SD-WAN provides its main benefits when multiple WAN paths exist, and single-link sites do not gain meaningful traffic-steering advantages.
Option D is incorrect because a direct internet access (DIA) design performs local internet breakout at the branch and therefore requires strong local security capabilities. DIA does not inherently increase traffic security and is not intended for devices with limited capabilities.
Therefore, the two correct associations are A and C.
NEW QUESTION # 33
You are planning a large SD-WAN deployment with approximately 1000 spokes and want to allow ADVPN between the spokes. Some remote sites use FortiSASE to connect to the company's SD- WAN hub. Which overlay routing configuration should you use?
- A. BGP per overlay with dynamic BGP for ADVPN shortcut routing.
- B. BGP per overlay with BGP next-hop convergence for ADVPN shortcut routing.
- C. BGP on loopback with IPsec phase2 selectors for ADVPN shortcut routing.
- D. BGP on loopback with dynamic BGP for ADVPN shortcut routing.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Using BGP on loopback with dynamic BGP enables scalable routing for large deployments and supports ADVPN shortcut routing with resilient, stable next-hop reachability across dynamic tunnels.
NEW QUESTION # 34
(Refer to the exhibit. The administrator configured two SD-WAN rules to load balance the traffic.
Which interfaces does FortiGate use to steer the traffic from 10.0.1.124 to 10.0.0.254? Choose one answer.)
- A. HUB2-VPN2
- B. port1 or port2
- C. HUB1-VPN2 or HUB2-VPN2
- D. Any interface in the HUB1 or HUB2 zones
Answer: C
Explanation:
The exhibit shows the runtime details of two SD-WAN services (rules):
Service(2)
Mode(manual hash-mode=inbandwidth)
Members(2): port2 (WAN2), port1 (WAN1)
Application matching: Facebook, LinkedIn, Game
Source: 10.0.1.0-10.0.1.255
This rule is clearly intended for internet/DIA application steering and does not show a corporate destination range.
Service(3)
Mode(sla hash-mode=round-robin)
Members(6): HUB1-VPN1/2/3 and HUB2-VPN1/2/3
Source: 10.0.1.0-10.0.1.255
Destination: 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255
Traffic from 10.0.1.124 to 10.0.0.254 matches Service(3) because the destination IP 10.0.0.254 falls within the destination range 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255.
Within Service(3), the member list shows SLA results per interface:
HUB1-VPN2 has sla(0x1) and num of pass(1)
HUB2-VPN2 has sla(0x2) and num of pass(1)
The remaining members (HUB1-VPN1, HUB2-VPN1, HUB1-VPN3, HUB2-VPN3) show sla(0x0) and num of pass(0) This indicates that, for Service(3), only HUB1-VPN2 and HUB2-VPN2 are currently meeting the SLA requirements (passing), and because the rule uses hash-mode=round-robin, FortiGate load-balances sessions across the passing members.
Therefore, FortiGate will steer the traffic using HUB1-VPN2 or HUB2-VPN2, which corresponds to Option B.
NEW QUESTION # 35
Refer to the exhibits. The exhibits show an SD-WAN event log, the member status, and the SD- WAN rule configuration.
Which two conclusions can you draw from the information shown? (Choose two.)
- A. The administrator configured the SD-WAN rule ID 1 with the default strategy mode.
- B. Port2 has a lower latency than port1.
- C. The administrator configured the service ID 1 with the highest priority member for port2.
- D. FortiGate updated the outgoing interface list on the rule so it prefers port2.
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
The SD-WAN rule (config service edit 1) is configured with set mode priority. This means the rule selects the best interface based on a defined performance metric, as opposed to a simple static priority or SLA. The event log (image_41cfb5.png) shows Metric latency and Message Service prioritized by performance metric will be redirected in sequence order. This indicates that the rule is using latency to determine the preferred member. Given that the log message is about a change, and the most logical reason for a change in a priority mode is that a different member is now the best performer, it implies that the latency on port2 has become lower than that on port1.
The log message Service prioritized by performance metric will be redirected in sequence order confirms that FortiGate is changing the member being used for this service. Because the mode is priority, FortiGate dynamically selects the member that currently meets the best performance criteria, which in this case is latency. The log implies a new member has been selected as the most optimal, and with the default configuration, the members are sorted based on their performance, so the outgoing interface list is effectively updated to prefer the new best- performing member (port2).
NEW QUESTION # 36
Refer to the exhibit. Which two conclusions can you draw from the output shown? (Choose two.)
- A. One SD-WAN rule is defined with application categories as the destination.
- B. UDP traffic destined to the subnet 10.22.0.0/24 matches a policy route.
- C. UDP traffic destined to the subnet 10.22.0.0/24 matches a manual SD-WAN rule.
- D. One SD-WAN rule allows traffic load balancing.
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
The output shows SD-WAN rules with multiple member sequences (vwl_mbr_seq), indicating load balancing is configured for at least one SD-WAN rule (supporting C).
There is a policy route (id=0) that explicitly matches UDP protocol traffic (protocol=17) destined to
10.22.0.0/24 with a next-hop gateway, confirming D.
NEW QUESTION # 37
Refer to the exhibit. What conclusions can you draw about the traffic received by FortiGate originating from the source LAN device 10.0.1.133 and destined for the company's SMTP mail server at 10.66.0.125?
- A. ForliGate steers the traffic from the LAN device 10.0.1.133 to the company SMTP mail server
10.66.0.125 through port2. - B. FortiGate steers the traffic from the LAN device 10.0.1.133 to the SMTP mail server 10.66.0.125 through the SD-WAN member ID 1 or 2.
- C. FortiGate steers the traffic from the LAN device 10.0.1.133 to the company SMTP mail server
10.66 0.125 through port3. - D. FortiGate steers the traffic from the LAN device 10.0.1.133 to the company SMTP mail server
10.66.0.125 through the SD-WAN member ID 4.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The policy-route output shows the matching SD-WAN service for destination 10.66.0.0/24 is vwl_service=4 (LAN-to-Corp2) with vwl_mbr_seq=1 2 and paths oif=3(port1) and oif=4(port2).
Therefore, traffic from 10.0.1.133 to 10.66.0.125 is steered via SD-WAN member ID 1 or 2.
NEW QUESTION # 38
(Refer to the exhibits.
Two SD-WAN event logs, the member status, the SD-WAN rule configuration, and the health-check configuration for a FortiGate device are shown.
Immediately after the log messages are displayed, how will the FortiGate steer the traffic based on the information shown in the exhibits? Choose one answer.)
- A. FortiGate uses port1 or port2 to steer the traffic for SD-WAN rule ID 1.
- B. FortiGate uses port2 to steer the traffic for SD-WAN rule ID 1.
- C. FortiGate skips SD-WAN rule ID 1.
- D. FortiGate uses port1 to steer the traffic for SD-WAN rule ID 1.
Answer: B
Explanation:
From the SD-WAN rule configuration (service edit 1, "Critical-DIA"), the rule uses mode sla and specifies:
set priority-members 1 2
This means, for traffic matching SD-WAN rule ID 1, FortiGate prefers member 1 first, then member 2, but only if the selected member meets the SLA requirements.
From the SD-WAN event log, the message explicitly states:
Member status changed. Member out-of-sla.
The log includes Member: 1
This indicates SD-WAN member 1 is now out of SLA immediately after the log is generated.
From the SD-WAN member status output:
Member(1) corresponds to interface port1
Member(2) corresponds to interface port2
Because member 1 (port1) is out of SLA, FortiGate cannot use it for an SLA-based rule at that moment. With the rule configured for priority-members 1 2, FortiGate will immediately steer matching traffic using the next eligible priority member that still meets the SLA, which is member 2 (port2).
Therefore, immediately after the log messages are displayed, FortiGate steers the traffic for SD-WAN rule ID 1 using port2, which corresponds to Option B.
Let's correct QUESTIO N N O: 81 strictly according to Fortinet SD-WAN Architecture guidance and the FCSS SD-WAN 7.6 design principles.
Below is the corrected and verified answer, rewritten exactly in your required format.
NEW QUESTION # 39
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. Enable route-reflector-client.
- B. Set additional-path to send
- C. Set additional-path to forward
- D. Enable route-reflector-server
- E. Set adv-additional-path to the number of additional paths to advertise.
Answer: A,B,E
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>).
NEW QUESTION # 40
(In which order does FortiGate consider the following elements during the route lookup process? Choose one answer.)
- A. SD-WAN rules, ISDB routes, policy routes, BGP routes
- B. Policy routes, ISDB routes, SD-WAN rules, static routes
- C. SD-WAN rules, policy routes, static routes, ISDB routes
- D. Policy routes, SD-WAN rules, Internet Service Database (ISDB) routes, BGP routes
Answer: B
Explanation:
In FortiOS (including FortiOS 7.6), FortiGate follows a strict and well-defined route lookup order when determining how to forward traffic. This order is critical for understanding SD-WAN behavior and is explicitly referenced in the FCSS SD-WAN curriculum.
The correct lookup sequence is:
Policy routes (Policy-Based Routing)
Policy routes are evaluated first. If traffic matches a policy route, FortiGate immediately forwards the traffic according to that policy and bypasses all other routing mechanisms.
Internet Service Database (ISDB) routes
If no policy route matches, FortiGate checks ISDB routes. These routes match traffic based on Internet Services rather than destination IP prefixes.
SD-WAN rules
If neither a policy route nor an ISDB route matches, FortiGate evaluates SD-WAN rules to determine the outgoing interface based on the configured SD-WAN strategy.
Routing table (connected, static, and dynamic routes such as BGP)
If no SD-WAN rule matches, FortiGate performs a normal routing table lookup.
FIB (Forwarding Information Base)
The FIB is used to forward the packet based on the selected route.
Drop
If no valid route exists, the packet is dropped.
Among the options provided, only Option D correctly reflects the beginning of this sequence by placing policy routes first, followed by ISDB routes, then SD-WAN rules, and finally static routes (representing the routing table).
Therefore, the correct answer is D.
NEW QUESTION # 41
(Refer to the exhibits.
The SD-WAN overlay template advanced settings and the underlay and network advertisement settings are shown. These are the configurations for the secondary hub of a dual-hub SD-WAN topology created with the FortiManager SD-WAN overlay orchestrator.
Which two conclusions can you draw from the information shown in the exhibits? Choose two answers.)
- A. FortiManager will create an overlay tunnel on the port1 interface.
- B. FortiManager will define port2 as a BGP neighbor.
- C. FortiManager will define port5 as a BGP neighbor.
- D. FortiManager will create an overlay tunnel on the port2 interface.
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
From the Underlay and network advertisement configuration exhibit for the Secondary HUB:
Under Underlay, the template explicitly lists:
WAN Underlay 1 = port1
WAN Underlay 2 = port2
In FortiManager SD-WAN Overlay Orchestrator, underlay interfaces selected for a hub are the transports used to build the overlay IPsec tunnels (one overlay per underlay, per peer as defined by the template). Because both port1 and port2 are configured as underlays, FortiManager will build overlay tunnels over both underlay links. That supports:
Option C (overlay tunnel on port1)
Option B (overlay tunnel on port2)
For the BGP neighbor options:
The Network Advertisement section shows Interface 1 = port5, which indicates a LAN/internal interface whose connected or static networks may be advertised into the overlay routing domain. This does not make port5 a BGP neighbor interface; it is the interface whose routes are being advertised.
The template indicates Dynamic BGP is enabled. In Overlay Orchestrator designs, BGP neighbor relationships are formed across the overlay tunnel interfaces / overlay endpoints, not directly on the raw underlay interfaces (port1/port2) and not on the advertised LAN interface (port5). Therefore, options A and D are not valid conclusions from what is shown.
So, the two correct conclusions are B and C.
NEW QUESTION # 42
Refer to the exhibit.
The exhibit shows output of the command diagnose sys adwan aervice4 collected on a FortiGate device.
The administrator wants to know through which interface FortiGate will steer traffic from local users on subnet 10.0.1.0/255.255.255.192 and with a destination of the social media application Facebook.
Based on the exhibits, which two statements are correct? (Choose two.)
- A. When FortiGate cannot recognize the application of the flow, it steers the traffic through the preferred member of rule 3, HQ_T1.
- B. When FortiGate cannot recognize the application of the flow, it load balances the traffic through the tunnels HQ_T1. HQ_T2. HQ_T3.
- C. FortiGate steers traffic for social media applications according to the service rule 2 and steers traffic through port2.
- D. There is no service defined for the Facebook application, so FortiGate appliesservice rule 3 and directs the traffic to headquarters.
Answer: B,C
Explanation:
Application-based SD-WAN rules enable intelligent traffic steering. The guide specifies:
"If a flow is identified as belonging to a defined application category (such as social media), FortiGate will match it to the corresponding service rule (rule 2) and route it through the specified interface, such as port2. However, if the application is not recognized during the session setup, the system defaults to load balancing the traffic using the available tunnels according to the policy for unclassified traffic, ensuring continuous connectivity while waiting for application classification." This guarantees both performance and resilience.
NEW QUESTION # 43
Refer to the exhibit.
The exhibit shows the health-check configuration on a FortiGate device used as a spoke. You notice that the hub FortiGate doesn't prioritize the traffic as expected.
Which two configuration elements should you check on the hub? (Choose two.)
- A. This performance SLA uses the same members.
- B. The performance SLA is configured with set embedded-measure accept.
- C. The performance SLA uses the same criteria.
- D. The performance SLA has the parameter priority-out-sla configured.
Answer: B,C
Explanation:
The hub must use a performance SLA with the same criteria as the spoke's health check. The spoke's health check is using ping (protocol ping) and measuring latency (link-cost-factor latency). For the hub to use the data sent by the spoke, its performance SLA must be configured to measure the same metrics. If the hub is looking for jitter or packet loss, it will not use the latency data sent by the spoke.
When a spoke sends embedded health data, the hub FortiGate must be configured to receive and use it. This is done by setting set embedded-measure accept within the performance SLA configuration on the hub. This setting explicitly tells the hub to trust and use the performance metrics received from the remote FortiGate (the spoke). Without this setting, the hub will likely ignore the embedded health data and rely on its own health checks, which could lead to incorrect traffic prioritization.
NEW QUESTION # 44
Within the context of SD-WAN, what does SIA correspond to?
- A. Software Internet Access
- B. Secure Internet Authorization
- C. Remote Breakout
- D. Local Breakout
Answer: C
Explanation:
NEW QUESTION # 45
Refer to the exhibits. The exhibits show the SD-WAN zone configuration of an SD-WAN template prepared on FortiManager and the policy package configuration.
When the administrator tries to install the configuration changes, FortiManager fails to commit.
What should the administrator do to fix the issue?
- A. Configure branch1_fgt as the installation target for policy 3.
- B. Configure both HUB1-VPN1 and HUB1-VPN2 as the destination of policy 3.
- C. Configure HUB1 as the destination of policy 3.
- D. Configure a normalized interface for the IPsec tunnel HUB1-VPN1.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Policy 3 points traffic To = HUB1-VPN1, which is an SD-WAN member interface. In SD-WAN you must reference the SD-WAN zone (the logical interface) in policies, not its member tunnels.
Change the policy's To interface to the zone HUB1, and the install will succeed.
NEW QUESTION # 46
(Refer to the exhibit.
The event log on a FortiGate device is shown.
Based on the output shown in the exhibit, what can you conclude about the tunnels on this device? (Choose one answer))
- A. There is one shortcut tunnel built from the master tunnel VPN4.
- B. The VPN tunnel HUB1-VPN1_0 is a shortcut tunnel.
- C. The voice traffic is steered through the VPN tunnel HUB1-VPN3.
- D. The master tunnel HUB2-VPN3 cannot accept Auto-Discovery VPN (ADVPN) shortcuts.
Answer: B
Explanation:
In the exhibit, the IPsec tunnel statistics event log entries include the field advpnsc.
Fortinet documents that advpnsc identifies whether the VPN event is based on an ADVPN shortcut:
advpnsc=1 → the tunnel is an ADVPN shortcut
advpnsc=0 → not an ADVPN shortcut (Fortinet Documentation Library)
In the shown logs, the tunnel vpntunnel="HUB1-VPN1_0" has advpnsc=1, which means HUB1-VPN1_0 is an ADVPN shortcut tunnel. (Fortinet Documentation Library) The other tunnels shown (for example VPN4_0 and HUB2-VPN3) have advpnsc=0, which only indicates no shortcut is identified for those log entries-it does not prove they "cannot accept" shortcuts, only that the specific event is not a shortcut. (Fortinet Documentation Library)
NEW QUESTION # 47
Refer to the exhibit, which shows the SD-WAN rule status and configuration.
Based on the exhibit, which change in the measured latency will first make HUB1-VPN3 the new preferred member?
- A. When HUB1-VPN1 has a latency of 200 ms
- B. When HUB1-VPN3 has a latency of 80 ms
- C. When HUB1-VPN3 has a latency of 90 ms
- D. When HUB1-VPN3 has a lower latency than HUB1-VPN1 and HUB1-VPN2
Answer: A
Explanation:
The rule is in priority mode with HUB1-VPN1 (seq 4) as the first preferred member, HUB1-VPN2 second, and HUB1-VPN3 third. Latency itself does not cause HUB1-VPN3 to become preferred unless a higher-priority member fails SLA. If HUB1-VPN1's latency exceeds the SLA threshold (here simulated by latency reaching 200 ms), FortiGate stops using it and moves down the priority list. That is when HUB1-VPN3 could become the active path.
