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
✓
A higher-priority SD-WAN rule is matching the traffic first.
SD-WAN rules are evaluated top-down. If a higher-priority rule matches the traffic, the lower-priority rule will never be reached.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
A higher-priority SD-WAN rule is matching the traffic first.
Why this is correct
Rules are processed sequentially.
- ✗
The SD-WAN rule is disabled.
Why it's wrong here
Possible, but the top-down evaluation order is a more common configuration error.
- ✗
The Performance SLA has timed out.
Why it's wrong here
If the SLA timed out, the member would be removed, not the rule ignored.
- ✗
The interface is not in an SD-WAN zone.
Why it's wrong here
If it wasn't in a zone, it wouldn't be part of the rule.
