   What is the primary purpose of a path policy in an SD-WAN environment?

   • ATo control how traffic is routed across available transport paths
   • BTo encrypt traffic between branch sites and the data center
   • CTo define which applications are allowed to traverse the WAN
   • DTo allocate bandwidth to different classes of traffic

   What is the primary purpose of a performance policy in SD-WAN?

   • ATo control how traffic is prioritized on a single link
   • BTo use metrics like latency, jitter, and packet loss to influence path selection
   • CTo define which applications are allowed on the network
   • DTo encrypt traffic between sites

   In SD-WAN, what is the role of a NAT policy?

   • ATo prioritize traffic based on QoS requirements
   • BTo define which applications are allowed to traverse the WAN
   • CTo modify IP addresses as traffic passes through the device
   • DTo control how traffic is routed across transport paths

   A university campus uses SD-WAN to connect administrative buildings and student dormitories. The IT department wants to allow students to access the internet and the library database, but block peer-to-peer file sharing and gaming traffic. The security team is concerned about rule order and performance. What is the best practice for designing the security policy?

   • APlace the general allow rule for internet access before the block rules for peer-to-peer and gaming
   • BPlace the block rules for peer-to-peer and gaming traffic before the general allow rule for internet access
   • CCreate a rule that allows library database traffic, then a rule that allows all other traffic, and then a rule that blocks peer-to-peer and gaming
   • DCreate a single rule that allows all traffic and then rely on QoS to deprioritize peer-to-peer and gaming

   What is the difference between source NAT and destination NAT in SD-WAN?

   • ASource NAT translates the source IP address, while destination NAT translates the destination IP address
   • BSource NAT is used for inbound traffic, while destination NAT is used for outbound traffic
   • CSource NAT selects the path, while destination NAT selects the application
   • DSource NAT encrypts traffic, while destination NAT decrypts traffic
