Fortinet Exam NSE8_812 Topic 2 Question 41 Discussion

Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE8_812 exam

Question #: 41
Topic #: 2

Refer to the exhibit.

You need to create a base SD-WAN configuration that includes SD-WAN rules and Performance SLAs for spoke sites with various connectivity types. It needs to be done in a way that can be easily applied to new sites with a minimum amount of change. How should you create the SD-WAN zones?

AWith members and assign overlay interfaces

BWith members without interface assignments

CWith no members configured

DWith members and assign interfaces but do not specify a gateway

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

A is correct because using network-overlay id allows you to configure multiple ADVPN tunnels on a single interface with a single IP address on the DC FortiGate. This is explained in the FortiGate Administration Guide under ADVPN > Configuring ADVPN > Configuring ADVPN on the hub.

You know, if they really want to test our SD-WAN skills, they should throw in a few questions about troubleshooting the WiFi at the remote office. That's where the real challenges lie!

Yeah, setting up SD-WAN zones with overlay interfaces seems like the best approach for easy application to new sites.

Option B it is! Keep it simple, stupid. That's my motto. Although, I do wonder if the exam writers are trying to trick us with these 'easy' questions. Better double-check my work just in case.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards Option A. Assigning the overlay interfaces upfront might be a bit more work, but it could help ensure a consistent configuration across all sites. Either way, I'm glad I don't have to deal with this on a daily basis. My job is to just take the test and pass!

I agree with Lera. Option B is the best choice here. It's all about making the configuration scalable and easy to maintain. Who wants to deal with a bunch of manual changes every time a new site is added?

Option B seems the way to go. Creating zones without interface assignments allows for more flexibility when applying the configuration to new sites. The key is to keep things simple and modular.

I think it depends on the specific requirements of the network and how much flexibility is needed for future changes.
