How does an SLA policy influence path selection in a Palo Alto Networks SD-WAN environment?

It permanently disables a link that once failed an SLA check

It modifies the firewall's security rules

It triggers a path change when the current link fails to meet the SLA thresholds

It changes the encryption key for the current path

When creating an SD-WAN routing policy in Palo Alto Networks, what is the typical method to specify which traffic the policy applies to?

By selecting the physical port number on the firewall

By defining match criteria such as source, destination, and application

By entering the firewall's serial number

By specifying the MAC address of the next-hop router

A company has two internet links to its branch office: a fiber link and a cable link. Voice traffic must use the path with the lowest current jitter. The administrator creates an SLA profile that measures jitter every 10 seconds. What else must be configured to ensure voice traffic dynamically selects the best path?

Enable path monitoring on the firewall interface and set the jitter threshold to 10 ms for both links.

Create an SD-WAN routing policy for voice traffic that references the SLA profile and selects the path with the best measured jitter.

Configure the cable link as the backup path in the SLA profile so it is only used when the fiber link fails.

Create a static route for voice traffic pointing to the fiber link, since it is the higher-quality physical medium.

Which metrics are typically measured by an SLA policy in a Palo Alto Networks SD-WAN deployment?

CPU usage, memory usage, and disk I/O

Bandwidth utilization and throughput

Number of active sessions and connection count

Latency, jitter, and packet loss
