Match each SD-WAN component to its role.
Drag a concept onto its matching description — or click a concept then click the description.
Physical or virtual interface in SD-WAN zone
Group of interfaces with same role
Defines traffic steering policy
Service Level Agreement for link quality
Monitors link latency, jitter, and packet loss
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
SD-WAN Rule: Determines traffic steering based on criteria like source, destination, application.
Correct matches: SD-WAN Rule → traffic steering; Performance SLA → link quality monitoring; Virtual-WAN-Link → interface grouping. Common confusions mix these roles.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
SD-WAN Rule: Determines traffic steering based on criteria like source, destination, application.
Why this is correct
SD-WAN rules define policies for selecting the best path for traffic.
Performance SLA: Monitors link quality metrics (latency, jitter, packet loss) against thresholds.
Why this is correct
Performance SLA defines the quality thresholds for a link to be considered healthy.
Virtual-WAN-Link: Groups WAN interfaces into a logical bundle for load balancing.
Why this is correct
Virtual-wan-link allows grouping of multiple physical interfaces under one logical link.
SD-WAN Rule: Monitors link quality metrics (latency, jitter, packet loss) against thresholds.
Why it's wrong here
This describes Performance SLA, not SD-WAN rule.
Performance SLA: Groups WAN interfaces into a logical bundle for load balancing.
Why it's wrong here
This describes Virtual-WAN-Link, not Performance SLA.
Virtual-WAN-Link: Determines traffic steering based on criteria like source, destination, application.
Why it's wrong here
This describes SD-WAN Rule, not Virtual-WAN-Link.
