Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Use an Application Override policy
Why this is correct
Application Override can force the firewall to identify traffic by port/protocol.
- ✗
Change the zone to 'Internal'
Why it's wrong here
Zone names do not affect App-ID.
- ✗
Disable NAT
Why it's wrong here
NAT is not related to app identification.
- ✓
Create a custom App-ID
Why this is correct
If traffic is unknown, a custom App-ID can be defined to identify it.
- ✗
Enable QoS on the interface
Why it's wrong here
QoS does not assist in App-ID.
