Exam FCSS_SDW_AR-7.4 topic 1 question 52 discussion

On FortiGate, a policy route (PBR) with action deny does not drop the traffic outright. Instead, it prevents the traffic from being steered by that policy route, and the packet is then handed back to the regular routing lookup (FIB): Source 10.0.1.130 matches 10.0.1.128/25 Destination 128.66.0.125 matches 128.66.0.0/24 Router policy says action deny → do not use this policy route Result: FortiGate falls back to the FIB (normal routing table). 👉 Therefore the correct answer should be: A. FortiGate routes the traffic flow according to the FIB.

Implicit SD-WAN rule equals standard FIB looup

Answer is A as PBR policy that the traffic matches has a deny action, traffic is then forwarded based on the FIB

Correct answer is C. The policy route has precedence over the SD-WAN routes, thus it drops the traffic.
