You must build an SD-WAN rule, choose the right strategy for the goal, attach a valid Performance SLA probe, and predict which member carries traffic when an SLA fails. Getting the strategy-to-behavior mapping right is the single most important thing.

Domain overview
This domain covers FortiGate SD-WAN rule construction and Performance SLA behavior on FortiOS. Candidates must configure rules with the correct strategy, match traffic by source and destination, attach SLA health checks, and predict failover outcomes when members breach their SLA thresholds.
Exam objectives
Configuring SD-WAN rules with Priority, Lowest Cost, Maximize Bandwidth, and Best Quality strategies
Attaching Performance SLA health checks using ping, HTTP, and DNS probes to SD-WAN members
Using the Source and Destination address fields to steer traffic into the correct SD-WAN rule
Reading the SD-WAN monitor and diagnose sys virtual-wan-link output to verify member selection
Assuming a failed highest-priority member is skipped permanently instead of falling through to the next priority member while still in SLA.
Confusing Maximize Bandwidth with load balancing by weight; weight-based distribution requires the appropriate strategy and member weights set.
Treating any protocol as a valid Performance SLA probe; only supported probe types such as ping, HTTP, and DNS are accepted.

When configuring an SD-WAN rule, what is the purpose of the 'Source' address field?
2Which command is used to verify the current status of SD-WAN members and their SLA health from the CLI?
3You are configuring a Performance SLA to monitor reachability to a SaaS application. Which parameter determines the threshold for an interface to be considered 'unhealthy' in the SD-WAN routing table?
4Which SD-WAN rule strategy should you choose if you want to distribute traffic across multiple interfaces based on their bandwidth weights?
5An SD-WAN rule is configured with 'Lowest Cost (SLA)' strategy. If all members in the SLA meet the requirements, how does the FortiGate select the outgoing interface?
6When using SD-WAN zones, what is the primary benefit of grouping multiple physical interfaces into a single zone?
7You are deploying a new SD-WAN interface. What is the mandatory step before you can add an interface to an SD-WAN zone?
8You have an SD-WAN rule with 'Priority' strategy. What happens if the highest priority member fails its SLA?
9Which protocol is NOT a valid option for Performance SLA probes?
10What is the effect of changing the 'Hold-down' timer in a Performance SLA?
11You are troubleshooting an issue where traffic is not using an SD-WAN rule despite meeting criteria. What is the most likely cause?
12You are using 'SLA Target' as your strategy. What happens if multiple members meet the SLA?
13What is the purpose of the 'Inbound' interface setting in an SD-WAN rule?
14Where are SD-WAN zones managed in the FortiGate GUI?
15What is the impact of checking the 'Interface Preference' box in an SD-WAN rule?
16When configuring an SD-WAN rule for a specific application, how does the FortiGate identify the traffic?
17When setting up a Performance SLA, what is the 'Participant' setting?
18What is the maximum number of members allowed in a single SD-WAN zone?
19You need to ensure that VoIP traffic stays on the interface with the lowest jitter. Which strategy should you use?
20What is the purpose of the 'Gateway' override in an SD-WAN member configuration?
21Which TWO of the following steps are required to correctly configure a Performance SLA?
22Which TWO of the following can be used as a 'Source' in an SD-WAN rule?
23Which THREE of the following protocols can be used for Performance SLA probes?
24Which THREE of the following are parameters that can be monitored in a Performance SLA?
25Which THREE of the following criteria are used for SD-WAN rule traffic matching?
26Which TWO of the following can cause an SD-WAN member to be marked as 'down' in an SLA?
You must build an SD-WAN rule, choose the right strategy for the goal, attach a valid Performance SLA probe, and predict which member carries traffic when an SLA fails. Getting the strategy-to-behavior mapping right is the single most important thing.
