Fortinet NSE8_812 Exam - Topic 4 Question 42 Discussion

Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE8_812 exam

Question #: 42
Topic #: 4

Refer to the exhibit, which shows a Branch1 configuration and routing table.

In the SD-WAN implicit rule, you do not want the traffic load balance for the overlay interface when all members are available.

In this scenario, which configuration change will meet this requirement?

AChange the load-balance-mode to source-ip-based.

BCreate a new static route with the internet sdwan-zone only

CConfigure the cost in each overlay member to 10.

DConfigure the priority in each overlay member to 10.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The exhibited playbook requires intervention, which means that the playbook has reached a point where it needs a human operator to take action. The next step should be to go to the Incident Response tasks dashboard and run the pending actions. This will allow you to see the pending actions that need to be taken and to take those actions.

The other options are not correct. Option B will only show you the notification icon, but it will not allow you to run the pending input action. Option C will run the Mark Drive by Download playbook action, but this is not the correct action to take in this case. Option D is not a valid option.

Here are some additional details about pending actions in FortiSOAR:

Pending actions are actions that need to be taken by a human operator.

Pending actions are displayed in the Incident Response tasks dashboard.

Pending actions can be run by clicking on the action in the dashboard.

B could work too, but not sure if it’s the best option here.

I’d go with A, source-ip-based sounds like a solid choice.

Wait, can you really just set all costs to 10? Seems odd.

Agree, priority settings can really help with load balancing!

I think option D makes the most sense for prioritizing traffic.

I think I might have seen a question where changing the load-balance-mode was the solution. But I'm not confident if that applies here.

I’m a bit confused about the cost versus priority settings. I thought both could affect load balancing, but I can't recall which one is more relevant in this context.

This question feels similar to one we practiced where we had to adjust routing priorities. I think configuring priority might be the way to go.

I remember something about load balancing modes, but I'm not entirely sure if source-ip-based is the right choice here.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of this question. Let me re-read it a few times and see if I can figure out the best configuration change to make.

Okay, I think I've got it. The load-balance-mode needs to be changed to source-ip-based to meet the requirement. Option A looks like the right answer here.

Hmm, the key seems to be that we don't want load balancing when all overlay members are available. I think option A might be the way to go, but I'll double-check the other choices just to be sure.

This looks like a tricky SD-WAN configuration question. I'll need to carefully review the exhibit and the requirements to determine the best approach.

Option D is the way to go. Prioritizing the overlay members is the smart move here. It's like putting your thumb on the scale to keep the traffic from getting distributed.

I'm going with D. Setting the priority to 10 is the cleanest way to meet the requirement without messing with other settings.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Changing the load-balance-mode to source-ip-based in option A sounds like it could work, but it's not exactly what the question is asking for.

Option C looks good too. Setting the cost in each overlay member to 10 should also prevent load-balancing when all members are up.

But wouldn't changing the load-balance-mode to source-ip-based ensure traffic load balance when all members are available?

I think option D is the correct choice. Configuring the priority in each overlay member to 10 will ensure that the traffic doesn't get load-balanced when all members are available.
