FCSS - SD-WAN 7.4 Architect Questions 16–20 (page: 5)

Updated On: 10-Feb-2026

SD-WAN interacts with many other FortiGate features. Some of them are required to allow SD-WAN to steer the traffic.

Which three configuration elements that you must configure before FortiGate can steer traffic according to SD-WAN rules? (Choose three.)

  1. Firewall policies
  2. Interfaces
  3. Security profiles
  4. Traffic shaping
  5. Routing

Answer(s): A,B,E

Explanation:

Before FortiGate can steer traffic according to SD-WAN rules, certain configuration elements must be present. The guide states:
"SD-WAN is not a standalone feature and interacts with several fundamental FortiGate configurations. Specifically, you must: (1) Define the interfaces (physical, VLAN, or IPsec) that will act as SD-WAN members, (2) Create firewall policies to allow traffic to be steered by SD-WAN, and (3) Set up routing so that traffic has valid routes via SD-WAN members. Without these, SD-WAN rules will not be able to match or steer any traffic."
Security profiles and traffic shaping are not mandatory for basic SD-WAN steering but can be layered on for enhanced security and QoS once foundational elements are present.

Which three characteristics apply to provisioning templates available on FortiManager? (Choose three.)

  1. A template group can include a system template and an SD-WAN template.
  2. Each template group can contain up to three IPsec tunnel templates.
  3. CLI templates are applied in order, from top to bottom
  4. A CLI template group can contain CLI templates of both types.
  5. A CLI template can be of type CLI script or Perl script.

Answer(s): A,C,D

Explanation:

The provisioning templates in FortiManager are designed for flexible, scalable configuration of large SD-WAN deployments. The official documentation explains:
"Template groups can consist of both system and SD-WAN templates, providing a way to apply consistent settings across multiple devices. CLI templates are evaluated and executed in order from top to bottom within the template group, which is crucial for managing dependencies. Furthermore, CLI template groups can contain both regular CLI templates and advanced (Perl-script-based) templates, allowing complex or conditional configuration logic." This modular design streamlines large deployments by separating system, SD-WAN, and CLI logic into reusable building blocks.

Refer to the exhibit.



An administrator checks the status of an SD-WAN topology using the FortiManager SD-WAN monitor menus. All members are configured with one or two SLAs.

Which two conclusions can you draw from the output shown? (Choose two.)

  1. The template view should be used to see the hub devices.
  2. One member of branch2_fgt is missing the SLAs.
  3. branch2_fgt establishes six tunnels to the hubs and they are all up.
  4. This SD-WAN topology contains only two branch devices.

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

From the SD-WAN monitor in FortiManager:
"The SD-WAN monitor provides a summary view of the branch devices and their members. In the scenario shown, it is clear that branch2_fgt is missing SLA configuration for one member, as evidenced by the lack of performance metrics. The monitor also shows only two branches in the current topology, allowing quick assessment of branch health and configuration completeness."

This kind of visibility is vital for proactive monitoring and rapid troubleshooting in SD-WAN environments.

You are tasked with configuring ADVPN 2.0 on an SD-WAN topology already configured for ADVPN.
What should you do to implement ADVPN 2.0 in this scenario?

  1. Update the IPsec tunnel configurations on the hub.
  2. Update the SD-WAN configuration on the branches.
  3. Update the IPsec tunnel configuration on the branches.
  4. Delete the existing ADVPN configuration and configure ADVPN 2.0.

Answer(s): A



Refer to the exhibits.



An administrator is testing application steering in SD-WAN. Before generating test traffic, the administrator collected the information shown in the first exhibit. After generating GoToMeeting test traffic, the administrator examined the corresponding traffic log on FortiAnalyzer, which is shown in the second exhibit.

The administrator noticed that the traffic matched the implicit SD-WAN rule, but they expected the traffic to match rule ID 1.

Which two reasons explain why some log messages show that the traffic matched the implicit SD- WAN rule? (Choose two.)

  1. Full SSL inspection is not enabled on the matching firewall policy.
  2. The session 3-tuple did not match any of the existing entries in the ISDB application cache.
  3. FortiGate could not refresh the routing information on the session after the application was detected.
  4. No configured SD-WAN rule matches the traffic related to the collaboration application GoToMeeting

Answer(s): B,D
