Q40. Which two statements correctly describe what happens when traffic matches the implicit SD-WAN rule? (Choose two.)

The session information output displays no SD-WAN service id.

Traffic is load balanced using the algorithm set for the v4-ecmp-mode setting.

The traffic is distributed, regardless of weight, through all available static routes.

Traffic does not match any of the entries in the policy route table.

FortiGate flags the session with may_dirty and vwl_def ault.

Q41. Which two statements correctly describe what happens when traffic matches the implicit SD-WAN rule? (Choose two.)

The session information output displays no SD-WAN service id.

Traffic is load balanced using the algorithm set for the v4-ecmp-modesetting.

The traffic is distributed, regardless of weight, through all available static routes.

Traffic does not match any of the entries in the policy route table.

FortiGate flags the session with may_dirtyand vwl_default.

When traffic matches the implicit SD-WAN rule, no specific SD-WAN service is applied, so the session information output does not show an SD-WAN service ID.
The implicit SD-WAN rule is considered only when no matching entry is found in the policy route table.

Q42. You are tasked with configuring ADVPN 2.0 on an SD-WAN topology already configured for ADVPN. What should you do to implement ADVPN 2.0 in this scenario?

Update the IPsec tunnel configurations on the hub.

Update the SD-WAN configuration on the branches.

Update the IPsec tunnel configuration on the branches.

Delete the existing ADVPN configuration and configure ADVPN 2.0.

To implement ADVPN 2.0 on an existing ADVPN topology, you only need to update the IPsec tunnel configuration on the hub to support the enhanced capabilities. Branch configurations remain unchanged.

Q43. SD-WAN interacts with many other FortiGate features. Some of them are required to allow SD- WAN to steer the traffic.
Which three configuration elements that you must configure before FortiGate can steer traffic according to SD-WAN rules? (Choose three.)

Firewall policies

Interfaces

Security profiles

Traffic shaping

Routing

Interfaces must be defined and added as SD-WAN members to participate in traffic steering.
Routing is required so FortiGate knows how to reach destinations through SD-WAN paths.
Firewall policies are needed to permit traffic and allow SD-WAN rules to take effect.

Q44. Refer to the exhibits. The exhibits show two IPsec templates to define Branch IPsec 1 and Branch_IPsec_2. Each template defines a VPN tunnel. The error message that FortiManager displayed when the administrator tried to assign the second template to the FortiGate device is also shown. Which statement best describes the cause of the issue?

You can assign only one template with a tunnel type of static to each FortiGate device.

You can assign only one IPsec template to each FortiGate device.

You should review the branch1_fgt configuration for configured tunnels in the rootVDOM.

You should use the same outgoing interface of both templates.

Q45. Refer to the exhibit that shows event logs on FortiGate. Based on the output shown in the exhibit, what can you say about the tunnels on this device?

The master tunnel HU82-VPN3 cannot accept ADVPN shortcuts.

The device steers voice traffic through the VPN tunnel HUB1-VPN3.

The VPN tunnel HUB1-VPN1_0 is a shortcut tunnel.

There is one shortcut tunnel built from master tunnel VPN4.

Q46. Refer to the exhibit, which shows the SD-WAN rule status and configuration. Based on the exhibit, which change in the measured packet loss will make HUB1-VPN3 the new preferred member?

When HUB1-VPN1 has 4% packet loss

When HUB1-VPN1 has 12% packet loss

When HUB1-VPN3 has 4% packet loss

When all three members have the same packet loss

Q47. 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?

You must direct SIA traffic to a VPN tunnel.

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

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

You cannot install SIA and DIA rules on the same device.

Q48. 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?

You must direct SIA traffic to a VPN tunnel.

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

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

You cannot install SIA and DIA rules on the same device.

FortiManager enforces a strict distinction:
“Firewall policies must reference SD-WAN zones, not individual SD-WAN members, when used in conjunction with SD-WAN templates. Attempting to install a policy that references a specific member (interface) will result in a deployment error, as member-level targeting is not supported in SD-WAN policy abstraction. This enforces centralized policy consistency and proper SD-WAN operation.” Ensuring policies target zones allows FortiGate to dynamically select the optimal member.

Q49. Exhibit.

The administrator configured the IPsec tunnel VPN1 on a FortiGate device with the parameters shown in exhibit.
Based on the configuration, which three conclusions can you draw about the characteristics and requirements of the VPN tunnel? (Choose three.)

The tunnel interface IP address on the spoke side is provided by the hub.

The remote end can be a third-party IPsec device.

The administrator must manually assign the tunnel interface IP address on the hub side

The remote end must support IKEv2.

This configuration allows user-defined overlay IP addresses.

This configuration demonstrates a typical IPsec setup for SD-WAN overlays where the hub side requires a manually defined tunnel IP address, and the spoke can be flexibly configured, including interoperability with third-party IPsec devices. As described in the Fortinet SD-WAN Architect Guide: “For some overlays, the tunnel interface IP is configured statically on the hub side, which allows more control over overlay subnetting and facilitates the use of user-defined overlay IP addresses. This approach is also a requirement for compatibility with non-FortiGate endpoints, such as third-party IPsec devices that may not support dynamic address assignment via IKE or proprietary mechanisms.” This enables hybrid SD-WAN environments and advanced designs involving external partners or cloud services. Overlay IP flexibility is critical for route control and segmentation.

Q50. Your FortiGate is in production. To optimize WAN link use and improve redundancy, you enable and configure SD-WAN.
What must you do as part of this configuration update process?

Replace references to interfaces used as SD-WAN members in the routing configuration.

Purchase and install the SD-WAN license, and reboot the FortiGate device.

Replace references to interfaces used as SD-WAN members in the firewall policies.

Disable the interface that you want to use as an SD-WAN member.

When you enable SD-WAN and add interfaces as SD-WAN members, those interfaces are no longer referenced directly in routing. You must replace routing configuration references (e.g., static routes, policy routes) with the SD-WAN zone. Firewall policies, however, can still point to the SD-WAN zone without requiring replacement of individual member interfaces.

Q51. Refer to the exhibit that shows an SD-WAN zone configuration on the FortiManager GUI.

Based on the exhibit, how will the FortiGate device behave after it receives this configuration?

The configuration instructs FortiGate to choose an ADVPN shortcut based on SD-WAN information.

The configuration instructs FortiGate to allow ADVPN shortcuts for the tunnels of this SD-WAN zone.

The configuration instructs FortiGate to establish shortcuts only when at least two members meet the SLA target.

The configuration instructs FortiGate to establish shortcuts only for overlay interfaces that meet the SLA target HUB1_HC.

This is because the setting minimum-sla-meet-members = 2 requires at least two SD-WAN zone members (in this case, HUB2-VPN1, HUB2-VPN2, and HUB2-VPN3) to pass the defined SLA health check (HUB1_HC) before the FortiGate will establish ADVPN shortcuts. If fewer than two members meet the SLA, shortcuts will not be created.

Q52. 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.)

When FortiGate cannot recognize the application of the flow, it steers the traffic through the preferred member of rule 3, HQ_T1.

There is no service defined for the Facebook application, so FortiGate appliesservice rule 3 and directs the traffic to headquarters.

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

When FortiGate cannot recognize the application of the flow, it load balances the traffic through the tunnels HQ_T1. HQ_T2. HQ_T3.

Q53. Refer to the exhibits, which show the configuration of an SD-WAN rule and the corresponding rule status and routing table.

The administrator wants to understand the expected behavior for traffic matching the SD-WAN rule.
Based on the exhibits, what can the administrator expect for traffic matching the SD-WAN rule?

The traffic will be routed over HUB1-VPN3.

The traffic will be routed over HUB1-VPN2

The traffic will be routed over HUB1-VPN1.

The traffic will be load balanced across all three overlays

The rule is in SLA mode with two SLAs. From the status, HUB1-VPN2 and HUB1-VPN3 meet the SLA (sla(0x2) and sla(0x3)), while HUB1-VPN1 does not (sla(0x0)). Among members that meet SLA, FortiGate uses the configured order (priority-members 4 5 6) to pick the first eligible one- HUB1-VPN2-so traffic is routed over HUB1-VPN2.

Q54. Exhibit.

Which action will FortiGate take if it detects SD-WAN members as dead?
