FORTINET-NSE123 Practice Question: Nse 2 Technical Introduction TO Fortinet Security
An enterprise branch office has two distinct internet connections (Fiber and Cable). The administrator wants traffic to preferentially use the Fiber link, but automatically fail over to the Cable link if the Fiber link experiences packet loss exceeding 5%. Which FortiOS feature accomplishes this?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
SD-WAN Performance SLA and SD-WAN rules
SD-WAN performance SLAs monitor latency, jitter, and packet loss, allowing administrators to configure rule-based path selection and automatic failover.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
SD-WAN Performance SLA and SD-WAN rules
Why this is correct
SD-WAN rules dynamically steer traffic based on real-time SLA metrics like packet loss.
- ✗
RIPv2 dynamic routing protocol updates
Why it's wrong here
RIPv2 is a legacy IGP routing protocol, not an SD-WAN path selector.
- ✗
Static routes with equal administrative distance and metric
Why it's wrong here
Equal routes result in ECMP load sharing, not dynamic performance-based failover.
- ✗
High availability active-active clustering heartbeat rules
Why it's wrong here
HA clusters provide device-level redundancy, not multi-WAN performance path selection.
