Authentic Fortinet Certification Exam NSE6_SDW_AD-7.6 Questions Answers

From the SD-WAN monitor in FortiManager:

" The SD-WAN monitor provides a summary view of the branch devices and their members. In the scenario shown, it is clear that branch2_fgt is missing SLA configuration for one member, as evidenced by the lack of performance metrics. The monitor also shows only two branches in the current topology, allowing quick assessment of branch health and configuration completeness. "

This kind of visibility is vital for proactive monitoring and rapid troubleshooting in SD-WAN environments.

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 .
