Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

When referencing a zone in a static route, FortiGate's behavior is described as: 'Referencing a zone in a static route causes FortiGate to install a static route for each member interface of the zone. This enables ECMP (Equal-Cost Multi-Path) and load balancing where supported and ensures that traffic can be steered over any valid zone member according to SD-WAN rules or standard routing.' This mechanism is fundamental to Fortinet's implementation of SD-WAN and simplifies large, multi-interface deployments. Reference:

Hmm, this one's tricky. I'll need to think through the FortiGate zone behavior carefully.
