At ValidExamDumps, we consistently monitor updates to the Fortinet FCSS_SDW_AR-7.4 exam questions by Fortinet. Whenever our team identifies changes in the exam questions,exam objectives, exam focus areas or in exam requirements, We immediately update our exam questions for both PDF and online practice exams. This commitment ensures our customers always have access to the most current and accurate questions. By preparing with these actual questions, our customers can successfully pass the Fortinet FCSS - SD-WAN 7.4 Architect exam on their first attempt without needing additional materials or study guides.
Other certification materials providers often include outdated or removed questions by Fortinet in their Fortinet FCSS_SDW_AR-7.4 exam. These outdated questions lead to customers failing their Fortinet FCSS - SD-WAN 7.4 Architect exam. In contrast, we ensure our questions bank includes only precise and up-to-date questions, guaranteeing their presence in your actual exam. Our main priority is your success in the Fortinet FCSS_SDW_AR-7.4 exam, not profiting from selling obsolete exam questions in PDF or Online Practice Test.
Refer to the exhibit, which shows the SD-WAN rule status and configuration.

Based on the exhibit, which change in the measured latency will first make HUB1-VPN3 the new preferred member?
The rule is in priority mode with HUB1-VPN1 (seq 4) as the first preferred member, HUB1-VPN2 second, and HUB1-VPN3 third. Latency itself does not cause HUB1-VPN3 to become preferred unless a higher-priority member fails SLA. If HUB1-VPN1's latency exceeds the SLA threshold (here simulated by latency reaching 200 ms), FortiGate stops using it and moves down the priority list. That is when HUB1-VPN3 could become the active path.
Refer to the exhibit.

An administrator checks the status of an SD-WAN topology using the FortiManager SD-WAN monitor menus. All members are configured with one or two SLAs.
Which two conclusions can you draw from the output shown? (Choose two.)
From the SD-WAN monitor in FortiManager: 'The SD-WAN monitor provides a summary view of the branch devices and their members. In the scenario shown, it is clear that branch2_fgt is missing SLA configuration for one member, as evidenced by the lack of performance metrics. The monitor also shows only two branches in the current topology, allowing quick assessment of branch health and configuration completeness.' This kind of visibility is vital for proactive monitoring and rapid troubleshooting in SD-WAN environments. Reference:

You configured an SD-WAN rule with the best quality strategy and selected the predefined health check, Default_FortiGuard, to check the link performances against FortiGuard servers.
For the quality criteria, you selected Custom-profile-1.
Which factors does FortiGate use, and in which order. to determine the link that it should use to steer the traffic?
With the Best Quality strategy, FortiGate first checks which links meet the SLA targets defined in the selected performance SLA (in this case, Custom-profile-1). Among those qualified links, FortiGate then uses the member configuration order to decide preference. If multiple links still qualify, it finally considers the member local cost to select the best path.
The FortiGate devices are managed by ForliManager, and are configured for direct internet access (DIA). You confirm that DIA is working as expected for each branch, and check the SD-WAN zone configuration and firewall policies shown in the exhibits.



Then, you use the SD-WAN overlay template to configure the IPsec overlay tunnels. You create the associated SD-WAN rules to connect existing branches to the company hub device and apply the changes on the branches.
After those changes, users complain that they lost internet access. DIA is no longer working.
Based on the exhibit, which statement best describes the possible root cause of this issue?
The SD-WAN overlay template defines a zone for each underlay interface and moves the interfaces into those zones. This statement perfectly describes the likely sequence of events. The template, when applied, re-organizes the interfaces and zones, causing the existing firewall policy that relies on the old zone configuration to fail. This is the most plausible root cause.
Refer to the exhibit.

The administrator analyzed the traffic between a branch FortiGate and the server located in the data center, and noticed the behavior shown in the diagram.
When the LAN clients located behind FGT1 establish a session to a server behind DC-1, the administrator observes that, on DC-1, the reply traffic is routed overT2. even though T1 is the preferred member in
the matching SD-WAN rule.
What can the administrator do to instruct DC-1 to route the reply traffic through the member with the best performance?
When asymmetric routing is observed (such as reply traffic not following the optimal path), the solution is: 'The auxiliary-session feature, enabled under config system settings, allows FortiGate to consider multiple egress interfaces for reply traffic, not just the original ingress interface. This is crucial for SD-WAN environments where the best path may differ between forward and return directions, especially when performance or policy rules are dynamically evaluated.' Activating this ensures reply traffic is always sent on the member with the best real-time metrics. Reference:
