Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
IPsec Key Exchange
Why it's wrong here
This is for tunnel encryption, not gateway failover.
- ✓
Hub Priority and Failover settings
Why this is correct
Setting priorities ensures the system knows which hub to prefer.
- ✗
Static Route redistribution
Why it's wrong here
Static routes are for routing, not gateway failover.

BGP Multi-homing
Why it's wrong here
BGP handles path selection but not necessarily automated SD-WAN gateway failover logic.
