How can people on floor 1 reach a server on floor 2.

Do you need a static route on Floor 1
No changes need to be made networks on the same subnet.
Do you need a static route on Floor 2

.

, SDWAN fails over under what conditions
Is it

Latency
Jitter
Loss
.
What NAT do you use when coming from a private network and
trying to connection to servers on the internet?

1:1 Nat
NAT loopback
Dynamic NAT
Static NAT
.
If a connection fails to fail over and your boss wants you tell him why
it didn't failover?

SDWAN ping policy wasn't setup
Link monitor failed
Link monitor was set to gradually fall back
Link Monitor was set tp ping the default gateway but the outage
happened further upstream

Basically know exactly how link monitor works
There's a very tricky question about this on the exam.
.yes
can advanced setting override an outbound global dynamic NAT
policy?
