A company wants to use PBF to ensure that traffic from the executive subnet to a financial application always uses a dedicated low-latency link, even if the routing table has a different path. What is the primary benefit of using PBF in this scenario?

It improves security by filtering traffic based on the application

It provides a deterministic forwarding path for specific traffic, independent of the routing table

It automatically load balances traffic across all available links

It reduces the need for static routes on the firewall

What is the purpose of path monitoring in a PBF policy?

To monitor the availability of the next hop and fail over to a backup path if it becomes unreachable

To log all traffic that uses the PBF policy

To encrypt traffic sent through the next hop

To monitor the bandwidth usage of the link and adjust forwarding dynamically

In a PBF policy, what does the 'Forwarding action' specify?

The next hop IP address or the egress interface to use for matched traffic

The QoS profile to apply to the traffic

The security rule to apply to the traffic

The NAT rule to translate the source address

Which scenario is a typical use case for Policy Based Forwarding (PBF)?

Logging all traffic that matches a security rule

Sending all traffic from a specific application to a dedicated WAN link

Encrypting traffic between two sites

Blocking traffic from a specific IP address
