A user at a branch site cannot reach a file server at the data center. You run a ping from the branch appliance to the file server's IP address and it succeeds. You then run a ping from the user's workstation to the file server and it fails. What does this result MOST likely indicate?

The file server is powered off.

The issue is between the user's workstation and the branch appliance.

The file server is blocking ICMP from the branch appliance.

An engineer is analyzing why traffic from a remote site to the hub is not following the expected path. Which diagnostic step is most directly useful for this analysis?

Check the physical link status on the hub

Verify the firewall security policies on the remote site

Review the routing table and forwarding decisions on the remote site

Review the SD-WAN path quality metrics

A branch site is experiencing intermittent connectivity to the data center. You suspect the issue is related to the SD-WAN tunnel flapping. Which diagnostic data would provide the MOST direct evidence of tunnel flapping?

Syslog logs from the branch appliance showing tunnel state changes.

The SD-WAN controller's dashboard showing current tunnel status.

The routing table on the branch appliance.

A packet capture on the user's workstation.

A branch site cannot reach a specific application at the data center, but other applications at the data center work fine. You check the routing table and see that the specific application's destination prefix is not present. What is the MOST likely cause?

The branch's local firewall is blocking the application.

The application server is down.

The route for the application's subnet is not being advertised or learned by the branch appliance.
