Selected Answers: A, C


To discuss, my own understanding :The Trigger: Because snat-route-change is enabled, FortiGate is told: "If any routing configuration changes, I need to double-check my existing SNAT sessions." The "Dirty" Flag: FortiGate flags the sessions on port2 as dirty. This doesn't kill the session; it just marks it for a re-evaluation when the next packet arrives. The Re-evaluation: FortiGate looks at the routing table again.

Port 2: Distance 1

Port 1: Distance 10

The Decision: Since Distance 1 is still strictly better than Distance 10, Port 2 remains the "Best Route." The Priority (20) is never even looked at because the tie was already broken by the Distance. The Result: Traffic stays on Port 2.
