Refer to the exhibit. Which contains a PerformanceSLA configuration. An administrator has configured a performance SLA on FortiGate. Which failed to generate any traffic. Why is FortiGate not…
The correct answer is D. You need to turn on the Enable probe packets switch. The FortiGate Performance SLA is not generating traffic because the "Enable probe packets" switch, which activates the SLA probes, was not turned on.
Question
Refer to the exhibit. Which contains a PerformanceSLA configuration. An administrator has configured a performance SLA on FortiGate. Which failed to generate any traffic. Why is FortiGate not generating any traffic for the performance SLA?
Exhibit
Options
- AParticipants configured are not SD-WAN members.
- BThere may not be a static route to route the performance SLA traffic.
- CThe Ping protocol is not supported for the public servers that are configured.
- DYou need to turn on the Enable probe packets switch.

Why each option
The FortiGate Performance SLA is not generating traffic because the "Enable probe packets" switch, which activates the SLA probes, was not turned on.
While participants should typically be SD-WAN members for SD-WAN rules, the question specifically states the SLA failed to generate any traffic, implying a more fundamental issue with the SLA's activation, not its target.
If there were no static route, traffic might fail to reach the destination, but the question implies no traffic generation at all by the SLA itself, which precedes routing failures.
Ping (ICMP) is a commonly supported protocol for Performance SLA probes, especially for public servers, so this is an unlikely general reason for complete traffic generation failure.
The "Enable probe packets" switch explicitly controls whether the FortiGate will send out the configured probes for a Performance SLA. If this setting is disabled, no traffic will be generated for the SLA, regardless of other configurations. This switch is fundamental for activating the probing mechanism to measure link performance.
