Question 430
During follow-up testing at a national SOC, the original fault was: A firewall disconnected during a push and retained the previous policy, while its peers received the new change. Which measured result demonstrates recovery rather than an unrelated improvement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The previously disconnected firewall reports the new revision and matching test result. This evidence directly tests the intended corrective action: Restore device-to-cloud connectivity and retry a targeted push under approved scope. It confirms the failure mechanism—Cloud changes cannot apply to devices that are unreachable at deployment time.—has been addressed in the actual affected flow.
Incorrect Answers
The branch validates with existing supported interfaces and receives the intended path policy. This would verify resolution of a different case: An engineer pushes a new SD-WAN rule that uses an interface unsupported or nonexistent on one branch model, causing validation errors. It does not show that the reported issue was fixed or that its intended action—Restore device-to-cloud connectivity and retry a targeted push under approved scope.—worked.
The profile and policy validate and the target receives the intended configuration. This would verify resolution of a different case: A configuration push fails because one custom security profile references a deleted nested pattern object. It does not show that the reported issue was fixed or that its intended action—Restore device-to-cloud connectivity and retry a targeted push under approved scope.—worked.
The approved combined revision validates and no unauthorized second change is deployed. This would verify resolution of a different case: A device push fails after the owner modifies a reference while another admin simultaneously changes the same object in cloud management. It does not show that the reported issue was fixed or that its intended action—Restore device-to-cloud connectivity and retry a targeted push under approved scope.—worked.
