Refer to the exhibits, which show the configuration on FortiGate and partial session information for internet traffic from a user on the internal network.
If the priority on route ID _ were changed from 10 to 0, what would happen to traffic matching that user session?

Correct Answer:
C
The exhibits show the configuration of static routes and a session table entry for an active session. The static routes are configured with different priorities:
Route through port1 with a gateway of 10.200.1.254 and priority 5.
Route through port2 with a gateway of 10.200.2.254 and priority 10.
If the priority of the route through port2 is changed from 10 to 0, this route will become more preferred than the route through port1 because lower priority values indicate higher preference. As a result, the traffic for the existing session will switch to using the more preferred route:
The session would remain active in the session table, as FortiGate does not immediately clear sessions upon route changes unless explicitly configured to do so.
The traffic for the session would then start egressing from port2, which now has the higher priority route due to its lower priority value.
