Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE6_SDW_AD-7.6 exam

Question #: 9
Topic #: 1

An SD-WAN member is no longer used to steer SD-WAN traffic. The administrator updated the SD-WAN configuration and deleted the unused member. After the configuration update, users report that some destinations are unreachable. You confirm that the affected flow does not match an SD-WAN rule.

What could be a possible cause of the traffic interruption?

AFortiGate, with SD-WAN enabled, cannot route traffic through interfaces that are not SD-WAN members.

BFortiGate can remove some static routes associated with an interface when the member is removed from SD-WAN.

CFortiGate removes the layer 3 settings for interfaces that are removed from the SD-WAN configuration.

DFortiGate administratively brings down interfaces when they are removed from the SD-WAN configuration.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

When an SD-WAN member is deleted, FortiGate can also remove static routes that were tied to that interface. If those routes are needed for destinations not covered by SD-WAN rules, traffic to those networks becomes unreachable. This explains why flows not matching SD-WAN rules are interrupted after the member was removed.
