(You want to configure two static routes: one that references an SD-WAN zone and a second one that references an SD-WAN member that belongs to that zone.

Which statement about this scenario is true? Choose one answer.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In FortiOS 7.6, static routes can reference either:

an SD-WAN zone (for example, virtual-wan-link or a user-defined SD-WAN zone), or

a specific SD-WAN member interface that belongs to that zone.

However, FortiOS enforces a routing constraint to avoid ambiguity during route resolution. Two static routes cannot have the same destination prefix if one points to an SD-WAN zone and the other points to an SD-WAN member within that zone. This would create an overlapping and conflicting forwarding decision.

Therefore, if you configure:

one static route that references an SD-WAN zone, and

another static route that references an SD-WAN member belonging to that same zone,

the destination subnets of the two static routes must be different.

Why the other options are incorrect:

Option A is incorrect because FortiOS does allow static routes that reference individual SD-WAN members.

Option B is incorrect because static routes can reference SD-WAN zones.

Option D is incorrect because static routing decisions in FortiOS are based on destination prefixes, not source prefixes.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

I think A is correct. Static routes for members seem tricky.

D is also important, can't have overlapping sources!

C makes sense, different subnets are a must.

Wait, can you really not route to members? That seems odd.

I disagree, I've set routes for zones before.

A is correct, you can't route to individual members.

I vaguely recall that static routes can reference zones, but I can't remember if there are restrictions on the subnets. This is tricky!

I’m a bit confused about the difference between source and destination subnets in this context. I need to think more about what that means for the routes.

I feel like we practiced a question similar to this where we discussed the limitations of static routes with SD-WAN members. I think option A might be correct.

I think I remember something about static routes and SD-WAN zones, but I'm not entirely sure if we can reference a zone directly.
