Exam Network-Security-Essentials Topic 1 Question 8 Discussion

Actual exam question for WatchGuard's Network-Security-Essentials exam
Question #: 8
Topic #: 1
There is an Internet outage at your primary ISP, but the Internet connection from the Firebox has not failed over to your backup ISP. Both ISP connectors are correctly cabled and have active physical links. What could cause this problem? (Select two.)

Suggested Answer: A,B Vote an answer

* Link Monitor Target for Backup ISP: If the backup ISP's Link Monitor target is not responsive, the Firebox will not initiate a failover, as it interprets the backup connection as inactive or faulty.
* Primary ISP Link Monitor Configuration: When the Link Monitor for the primary ISP only checks the default gateway, it may not detect issues occurring further upstream. If the outage is beyond the gateway, failover will not activate because the monitor assumes the link is still valid.
These settings are critical to ensuring proper Multi-WAN failover behavior in case of ISP issues.
