NSE7 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Practice Question
An administrator is configuring SD-WAN and wants to ensure that traffic matching a specific SLA rule uses the best-performing member. Which TWO commands can be used to verify the SLA performance and route selection? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse 'diagnose sys sdwan info' with 'get router info routing-table', assuming the routing table reflects SD-WAN decisions, but SD-WAN uses a separate policy-based routing mechanism that does not always update the kernel routing table for per-session steering.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
diagnose sys sdwan health-check
The 'diagnose sys sdwan health-check' command displays real-time SLA performance metrics for each SD-WAN member, including latency, jitter, and packet loss. Option D is correct because 'diagnose sys sdwan info' provides detailed information about SD-WAN zones, rules, and the current best-performing member selected for each SLA rule. Both commands are essential for verifying SLA compliance and route selection in FortiGate SD-WAN.
