Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Properly configured path steering policies for automatic failover
Why this is correct
The policy must know how to fail over.
- ✗
Manual switching of tunnels in the event of failure
Why it's wrong here
HA should be automated.
- ✓
Multiple Service Connection definitions pointing to different Prisma Access POPs
Why this is correct
Logical diversity allows for cloud-side redundancy.
