Static, SD-WAN and Dynamic
What is a static route? - Answers- Traffic sent to a specific gateway based on
destination only
What is an SD-WAN route? - Answers- They can route traffic depending on source,
service, application and user. This can also route to a specific gateway, or backup
gateway depending on health monitoring. You can also select a gateway on quality
metrics or load balancing.
What is a dynamic route? - Answers- Routes learned by communicating with other
routing devices on the network
Where would you go to configure a static route? - Answers- Configure, routing then
Static routes
Where would you go to configure a gateway? - Answers- Configure, Routing then

What can be used to define what routes traffic is routed through using SD-WAN? -
Answers- The interface traffic arrives on, the source and destination networks, the
service, DSCP marking, user and application objects
What is a DSCP Value? - Answers- Its an 8-but value of the IP header to classify data
packets and manage network traffic
What happens if Primary and Backup gateways are used in an SD-WAN route? -
Answers- Traffic will be routed via a certain gateway depending on the health status of
the primary gateway, if this is healthy it will be preferred, however if this is down it will
use the backup
Routes are processed in order of precedence, true or false? - Answers- True
What is the default order of route precedence? - Answers- 1. Health Check Routes
