A network admin is troubleshooting a report that 'critical' traffic is being sent over a high-latency link. The admin checks the path selection policy and sees that the policy for 'critical' traffic is set to 'use best SLA'. The admin also checks the SLA dashboard and sees that the high-latency link is meeting its SLA, but the low-latency link is not meeting its SLA. What is the most likely cause of the behavior?

The low-latency link is failing its SLA, so the SD-WAN is correctly using the high-latency link.

The path selection policy is misconfigured to prefer the high-latency link.

The high-latency link is being preferred because of a route leak.

The 'critical' traffic is not being correctly identified, so it is using the default path.

What is the first step in a systematic troubleshooting methodology for routing issues?

Define the problem and gather information

Immediately change the routing configuration

What is the purpose of analyzing route propagation across an SD-WAN fabric?

To ensure all routers have the correct routes and no traffic is blackholed

To increase the speed of the physical links

To reduce the number of routers in the network

To encrypt all traffic in the fabric

What is an appropriate fix for a routing issue caused by an incorrect static route?

Update the static route with the correct next hop

Change the encapsulation of the tunnel

Increase the MTU on the interface

What is a common cause of packet drops in an SD-WAN forwarding path?

Incorrect SNMP community string

MTU mismatch on a tunnel interface

Incorrect DNS server configuration
