   An administrator is troubleshooting intermittent connectivity issues on a Meraki SD-WAN site. The dynamic path selection page shows that the MX is frequently switching between the two uplinks for the same application flow. The performance class for the application is set to 'Low latency'. What is the most likely cause of this flapping behavior?

   • AThe uplinks are not properly configured with the correct VLANs.
   • BThe performance class thresholds are too strict, causing the MX to switch paths whenever there is a minor fluctuation in latency.
   • CThe traffic shaping rule for the application is misconfigured.
   • DThe MX is load balancing the application across both uplinks.

   How does dynamic path selection handle load balancing across multiple WAN links?

   • AIt distributes traffic based on the performance and capacity of each link
   • BIt sends all traffic over the link with the highest bandwidth
   • CIt uses only one link at a time and switches only on failure
   • DIt alternates traffic between links on a round-robin basis

   Which benefit is most directly associated with using dynamic path selection in a multi-WAN Meraki environment?

   • AIt guarantees the lowest possible cost for all traffic
   • BIt eliminates the need for any VPN configuration
   • CIt improves application performance by avoiding congested or degraded links
   • DIt provides a single static path for all traffic to simplify management

   How do traffic shaping rules influence dynamic path selection in Meraki SD-WAN?

   • AThey can prioritize certain applications, which are then given preference for the best available path
   • BThey replace the need for VPN configuration
   • CThey automatically block all non-business traffic
   • DThey physically limit the bandwidth of each WAN link

   What happens to active traffic when a WAN link fails in a Meraki SD-WAN deployment with dynamic path selection enabled?

   • ATraffic is queued and sent once the link recovers
   • BAll traffic is dropped until the link is manually restored
   • COnly high-priority traffic is rerouted, and low-priority traffic is dropped
   • DTraffic is automatically moved to another available uplink to maintain connectivity
