FCSS_SDW_AR-7.4 Dumps with Practice Exam Questions Answers

The session details show the symmetric flow’s original direction as port3 → port2.

The asymmetric flow’s reply direction is listed as port2 → port3.

The SD-WAN rule (config service edit 1) is configured with set mode priority. This means the rule selects the best interface based on a defined performance metric, as opposed to a simple static priority or SLA. The event log (image_41cfb5.png) shows Metric latency and Message Service prioritized by performance metric will be redirected in sequence order. This indicates that the rule is using latency to determine the preferred member. Given that the log message is about a change, and the most logical reason for a change in a priority mode is that a different member is now the best performer, it implies that the latency on port2 has become lower than that on port1.

The log message Service prioritized by performance metric will be redirected in sequence order confirms that FortiGate is changing the member being used for this service. Because the mode is priority, FortiGate dynamically selects the member that currently meets the best performance criteria, which in this case is latency. The log implies a new member has been selected as the most optimal, and with the default configuration, the members are sorted based on their performance, so the outgoing interface list is effectively updated to prefer the new best-performing member (port2).

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.

Rules template → Defines the SD-WAN rules for traffic steering.

BGP template → Configures dynamic routing for overlay tunnels.

IPsec tunnel template → Builds the IPsec VPN tunnels from the spoke to the hubs.

Traffic steering in Fortinet SD-WAN is based on defined rules and the corresponding outgoing interfaces. The exhibit (not shown here) would indicate that the traffic from the LAN subnet 10.0.1.0/24 to the server 10.2.5.254 is matched by SD-WAN rule 3 and sent out via the HUB1-VPN3 interface.
