Question 1150
During follow-up testing at a national SOC, the original fault was: A site enables SD-WAN tunnel path switching but the selected tunnel interface is missing the required routing/security configuration. Which measured result demonstrates recovery rather than an unrelated improvement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A controlled failover preserves authorized app connectivity through the expected tunnel. This evidence directly tests the intended corrective action: Configure the appropriate SD-WAN routing and tunnel dependencies for the selected path. It confirms the failure mechanism—A route preference does not create the underlying tunnel and security path.—has been addressed in the actual affected flow.
Incorrect Answers
Test application flows hit the intended rule and shift on controlled SLA degradation. This would verify resolution of a different case: An application has a latency SLA but the SD-WAN profile monitors the wrong app category, and no measured degradation causes path change. It does not show that the reported issue was fixed or that its intended action—Configure the appropriate SD-WAN routing and tunnel dependencies for the selected path.—worked.
Ordinary uploads stay on low-cost transport while critical traffic can use cellular during verified outage. This would verify resolution of a different case: A backup cellular path has a strict data quota but the traffic distribution rule treats it as an equal active link for routine video uploads. It does not show that the reported issue was fixed or that its intended action—Configure the appropriate SD-WAN routing and tunnel dependencies for the selected path.—worked.
Test load allocation stays within revised capacity while priority apps remain stable. This would verify resolution of a different case: A transport change updates one path's assigned bandwidth but SD-WAN policy still selects it for a larger load than the link can carry. It does not show that the reported issue was fixed or that its intended action—Configure the appropriate SD-WAN routing and tunnel dependencies for the selected path.—worked.
