Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The specific Service Connection object representing the Prisma Access tunnel
Why this is correct
The Service Connection object is the abstraction that defines the tunnel properties and routing destination.
- ✗
The WAN interface MTU size exclusively
Why it's wrong here
MTU is important for fragmentation but not the primary steering mechanism.
- ✗
The BGP AS number of the remote Prisma Access node
Why it's wrong here
BGP is used but is not the primary routing parameter for the service route mapping.
- ✗
The local controller's IP address
Why it's wrong here
The local controller manages policy but is not the tunnel endpoint.
